the CHF under natural circulation conditions. For example , if the CHF occurs<br />

due to the local condition such as given by Eq. (73), it cannot be simulated<br />

by the above scaling criteria.<br />

VI.3..5 Sample Calculations<br />

As an example, a preliminary consideration on the simulation of<br />

LWR by the LOFT facility is presented. In this case, as stated above it is<br />

not possible to operate in the real time scale. Therefore, the time scale<br />

should be distorted in order to have a meaningful simulation.<br />

From Eqs. (60) and (105)-<br />

tR = 0.4 L 0.44<br />

uR = 0.63 ti 0.66 .(106)<br />

qR = 1.58 ti 1.51<br />

The geometrical similarity criteria given by Eqs. (44) and (45) requires that<br />

(SR= dR = 0.8 .(107)<br />

The subcooling or the secondary loop temperature is limited by<br />

(eHsub)R = 1 .(108)<br />

Furthermore, for an accurate simulation, it is necessary that in two-phase<br />

sections the friction and orifice number satisfy<br />

and(109)<br />

(ft -)R=1 or fR2ti8<br />

KR = 1 3<br />

where it was assumed that (ai/ao)R = 1 based on dR = constant. On the other<br />

hand, for single phase sections the overall friction similarity is sufficient.<br />
