This study presents a numerical modeling approach for analyzing the electrochemical and thermal–hydraulic characteristics of solid oxide electrolysis (SOE) cells and stacks for hydrogen production. A semilumped parameter‐based simulation code was developed and validated using experimental data and literature references.

Bayesian Uncertainty Quantification of Reflooding Model With PSO–Kriging and PCA Approach
To improve the process of best estimate plus uncertainty (BEPU) for nuclear safety assessment and calibration of thermal–hydraulic models for error reduction, inverse uncertainty quantification (IUQ) is proposed in recent years to quantify the uncertainty of model parameters in reactor program.

In the case of multiple‐failure accidents in light water reactors, it is imperative to demonstrate that a significant fuel damage can be prevented via prearranged mitigation measures performed by operators. However, the time elapsed from the initiation of the event to the implementation of mitigation actions significantly influences the progress and ...

Opposing Mixed Convection Heat Transfer for Turbulent Single‐Phase Flows
Convection, wherein forced and natural convections are prominent, is known as mixed convection. Specifically, when a forced convection flow is downward, this flow is called opposing flow. The objectives of this study are to gain a comprehensive understanding of opposing flow mixed convection heat transfer and to establish the prediction methodology by ...

A study of the dispersed flow interfacial heat transfer model of RELAP5/MOD2.5 and RELAP5/MOD3
The model of interfacial heat transfer for the dispersed flow regime used in the RELAP5 computer codes is investigated in the present paper. Short-transient calculations of two low flooding rate tube reflooding experiments have been performed, where the hydraulic conditions and the heat input to the vapour in the post-dryout region were controlled for ...

RELAP5 Calculations of Bethsy 9.1b Test [PDF]
Recently, several advanced computational tools for simulating reactor system behavior during real and hypothetical transient scenarios were developed. The TRAC/RELAP Advanced Computational Engine (TRACE) is the latest in a series of advanced, best-estimate reactor system codes developed by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (US NRC ...

Time‐Series Forecasting of a Typical PWR Undergoing Large Break LOCA
In this work, a machine learning (ML) metamodel is developed for the time‐series forecasting of a typical nuclear power plant response undergoing a loss of coolant accident (LOCA). The plant model of choice is based on the APR1400 nuclear reactor. The key systems and components of APR1400 relevant to the investigated scenario are modelled using the ...

SCDAP/RELAP5/MOD2 code manual [PDF]
The SCDAP/RELAP5 code has been developed for best-estimate transient simulation of light water reactor coolant systems during a severe accident. The code models the coupled behavior of the reactor coolant system, the core, and the fission products and aerosols in the system during a severe accident transient as well as large and small break loss-of ...
