A METHODOLOGY FOR THE ANALYSIS OF A THERMAL-HYDRAULIC PHENOMENON INVESTIGATED IN A TEST FACILITY

A methodology for analysing non-homogeneous sets of experimental data for a selected phenomenon from separate effect test facilities and int egral test facilities is presented in this paper The critical heat flu x from the validation matrices was chosen as the phenomenon to be stud ied; the results obtained in three test facilities ape analysed The me thod presented is applied for estimating the accuracy with which a the rmal-hydraulic transient code can predict the critical heat flux in an actual nuclear power plant.
