{{#Wiki_filter:SECTION 9 WCOBRAITRAC ONE-DIMENSIONAL COMPONENT MODELS 9-1 Introduction The one-dimensional components in WCOBRAtTRAC are modules derived from TRAC-PD2 to model the reactor primary system. These components provide models for accumulators, pressurizers, pipes, tees, pumps, steam generators, and valves. In addition, there are two modules that provide boundary conditions for parts of the system not modelled, consisting of either a pressure sink/source or a flow boundary. The conservation equations used for the one-dimensional components are discussed in Section 2-4. The following sections will describe the features of each of the one-dimensional components and elaborate on their unique characteristics. Many of the modules are virtually unchanged from their original TRAC-PD2 versions, so many of the descriptions are the same as those given by Liles et al. (1981). 9-2 PIPE Component Model Basis The PIPE component is used to model one-dimensional thermal-hydraulic flow in a duct or pipe. A PIPE can be used alone in a problem or can connect other components together to model a system. Area changes, wall heat sources and heat transfer across the inner and outer wall surfaces can be modelled in the PIPE component. Figure 9-1 shows a typical noding diagram for a PIPE containing a venturi and an abrupt area change. The numbers within the PIPE indicate cell numbers, and those above it are cell boundary numbers. The geometry is specified by providing a volume and length for each cell and a flow area and hydraulic diameter at each cell boundary. The junction variables JUN 1 and JUN2 provide reference numbers for connecting this PIPE to other components. Wall friction losses and form losses associated with bends, orifices, etc. are set where required at the appropriate node boundaries. Five options are available to determine the wall friction losses based on a variety of flow configurations and correlations. These options are described in Section 4-7. 4384-non\sec9.wpd-04203 9-1
Wall heat transfer from the inner and outer surfaces of the PIPE may be calculated as well as heat generation within the wall. The calculation of critical heat flux may be determined by the Biasi et al. (1967) correlation. Section 6-3 describes the selection of heat transfer coefficients in the one-dimensional components. The wall material properties are selected from stainless steel (304, 316, and 347), carbon steel A508, or Inconel 600. The PIPE component includes an option that allows the user to simulate the effect of a non-condensible gas on the condensation rate. This option is used to simulate the suppression of the condensation rates in the PIPE caused by nitrogen injection from the accumulator or from ingestion of air from the containment. Application of the condensation suppression factor to the interfacial heat transfer coefficients is described in Section 5-3-5. The numerical solution method used for the PIPE component is specified by the user. The semi-implicit method is adopted due to its increased computational efficiency. In components which can expect high flow velocities, the fully implicit solution method is used to avoid the restriction set by the low Courant limit. The junctions of the one-dimensional components are always solved semi-implicitly. Model as Coded No special models or correlations are applied in a PIPE component. The conservation equations are solved as described in Section 2, with the closure relations discussed in Sections 3 through 8, referring to one-dimensional components. The thermodynamic and material properties are described in Section 10. During the execution of a problem, the solution procedure is controlled by subroutines PIPEl, PIPE2, and PIPE3. At the beginning of each time step, PIPE 1 calls subroutine SLIP to obtain relative velocities, and subroutine FWALL for wall friction and irrecoverable loss coefficients to determine the interfacial drag coefficients and calculate the relative phase velocities. Subroutine HTPIPE is then called to determine the wall heat transfer coefficients. During the timestep iteration, PIPE2 calls DPlD, which is the controlling routine for the hydrodynamics solution. DF1D calls DFIDS or DFIDI depending on whether the semi-implicit or implicit solution scheme has been chosen. In these routines the interfacial mass and heat transfer, condensation suppression, and in the case of DFIDS, water packing logic are applied or calculated. The controlling routine PFICHK is called if the critical flow model has been selected. After a timestep is successfully completed, PIPE3 calls CYLHT and FPROP to determine the wall temperatures and calculate the new fluid properties, respectively. The boundary arrays are again 4394-non\sec9.wpd-04203 9-2
updated for the converged solution. If the time step fails to converge, the calculation is backed up to the previous time step values, and a new time step, half the size of the old one, is tried. 9-3 TEE Component Model Basis The TEE component models the thermal-hydraulics of three piping branches, two of which lie along a common line with the third entering at some angle ,Bfrom the main axis of the other two. The code basically treats a TEE component as two PIPEs, as indicated in Figure 9-2. The angle P is from the low-numbered end of PIPE 1 to PIPE 2. The low-numbered end of PIPE 2 always connects to PIPE 1. The straight PIPE segment is numbered from cell 1 to NCELL1, with the connection to PIPE 2 at cell JCELL. The branch PIPE segment is numbered from the cell immediately adjacent to JCELL, beginning with cell 1 and ending with cell NCELL2. The connection to PIPE 1 from PIPE 2 is treated with mass, momentum, and energy source terms. For PIPE 2 the conditions in cell JCELL of PIPE 1 form the inlet boundary conditions. The mass and energy terms associated with the side branch flow are added to the governing mass and energy equations representing the main branch flow. The losses at the junction are modelled in terms of the momentum change resulting from the combining or dividing flow. For the combining case an additional momentum source term is added to the main branch momentum equations. This term represents the momentum source or sink associated with the secondary flow in relation to the main branch flow. The time differencing and iteration procedures guarantee conservation of scalar quantities within a convergence tolerance. The levels of implicitness for the finite-difference equations applied to PIPE 1 and PIPE 2 can be specified independently using the input variables IHYD1 and IHYD2. Since the junction between PIPE 1 and PIPE 2 is always treated semi-implicitly, the velocity at that point is always included in the computation of the time step stability limit. Phase separation at the junction is calculated if the flag ISEP is set to one. Phase separation is computed if the void fraction in the junction cell JCELL exceeds the user-specified value ALSEP. Model as Coded Since the TEE is modelled as two connected PIPEs, the PIPE model description in Section 9-2 should be consulted for additional information. The calculational sequence for a TEE includes separate calculations of the primary and secondary sides. For the junction momentum source, an additional source term is calculated in subroutine ETEE and is incorporated in the momentum equation in DFlDS or DF1DI depending on the solution option chosen. This source term is set to zero when the TEE is a dividing tee. 4384-nonsec9.wpd-04203 9-3
9-4 PUMP Component LI Model Basis The pump model employed in WCOBRAITRAC describes the interaction of the system fluid with a centrifugal pump. The model calculates the pressure differential across the pump and its angular velocity as a function of the fluid flowrate and the fluid properties. The model is designed to treat any centrifugal pump and can include two-phase effects. The pump model is represented by a one-dimensional component with N cells, where N must be greater than 1. A typical noding diagram for the pump component is shown in Figure 9-3. The pump momentum is modelled as a source Q that is included between cells 1 and 2. The source is positive for normal operation with the pressure rise occurring from cell 1 to cell 2, so it is necessary to number the cells so that the cell number increases in the normal flow direction. The pump model is identical to the one-dimensional pipe model except that a momentum source is included in the mixture momentum equation written between cells 1 and 2: _U15 _ SUn5
- .5 _( (p1 _ 2) -P) C" _+g - jUnI.(9-1) U K At p/ Dt~Cn_g (9-1)X where U is the mixture velocity, P is the pressure, C represents the convective terms, g is the gravity term, f is the friction factor, p is the fluid density, Ax is the cell length, Dh is the hydraulic diameter, the subscript 1.5 refers to the average value between cell 1 and cell 2, and the superscript n indicates that the parameter was evaluated at the previous timestep. Parameters without a superscript are the updated, new time values. The source term Q is taken to be:
2 pum n
+AC g + U1 .5 l U1 . 5 I ~~~Dh (9-2) 43 84-non\sec9.wpd-04203 9-4
where APpUmp is the pressure rise across the pump evaluated from the pump characteristic curves. With this definition of the momentum source, the steady-state solution of Equation 9-1 is P2 - = APpUmp. The model for APpUmp is described next. The Pump Characteristic Curves - The Homologous Curves It has been well known that for single-phase flow the characteristics of a pump can be quite accurately obtained from those of a geometrically similar scale-model using the similarity laws. Following these laws, the head and the torque of the pump can be represented in nondimensional forms which are independent of the scale of the pump model. The approach used to establish the so-called homologous curves is one of the methods that has utilized the similarity laws to nondimensionalize the variables involved in pump operations. In this approach, four homologous curve segments (one curve segment represents a family of curves) are established. These curves describe in a compact manner all the operating states of the pump. The following definitions are employed in the subsequent development: H = pump head = APP,,p p = fluid density at pump inlet Q = volumetric flow rate through pump co = pump impeller angular speed T = pump hydraulic torque To allow one set of curves to be used for a variety of pumps, the following normalized quantities are used:
= QIQR AN = / OR h = H/HR P = (TI TR)I(PR/P) 4384-non\sec9.wpd-04203 9_5
where the subscript R denotes the rated conditions. Use of the pump similarity relations (Olson, 1974a) shows that h2) f (9-3) and

Table 9-1 shows the resulting four segments of the homologous head and torque curves that represent the complete pump operational characteristics. Pump Single-Phase Head and Torque Homologous Curves Figures 9-4 and 9-6 show typical single-phase homologous head and torque characteristic curves for Westinghouse designed pumps. Pump Fully-Degraded Head and Torque Homologous Curves A basic assumption of the WCOBRA/IRAC pump model is that the same type of scaling laws, which are applied under single-phase conditions, can also be applied under two-phase conditions. It is assumed that there exists a condition at an intermediate range of void fractions in which the pump head and torque can be described by a set of homologous curves, similar to the single-phase curves. A typical set of curves is illustrated in Figures 9-5 and 9-7. The Head and Torque Multipliers To provide for a transition from single- to two-phase conditions, the following correlations are used: H = H - M(a) (H - H2) (9-7)(1) and T = T - N(a) (T1 - T 2) where M = head multiplier N = torque multiplier a = donor-cell vapor void fraction at pump inlet 4384-non\sec9.wpd-04203 9-7
and the subscript 1 denotes the single-phase value, the subscript 2 denotes the two-phase value, both calculated from the homologous curves, and the subscript
- denotes the derived value for a given two-phase condition.
Pump Impeller Speed The angular speed of the pump impeller is calculated from the equation I - d == T - (T + TFR + TE) (9-9) dt where I = moment of inertia of the pump rotor assembly TM = torque supplied by motor (after trip, T = QC) TFR = total friction torque (including all mechanical, bearing friction and windage loss) T = electric torque (caused by induced voltage after trip) The total friction torque is (Bordelon et al., 1974) [
]a (9-10) where
[
]a,c 4384-non\sec9.wpd-04203 9-8
for the 93A pump, and is assumed to apply to other pumps of similar design. The pump hydraulic torque (T ) is evaluated from the homologous curves and Equation 9-8 as a function of the fluid density and flow rate as well as pump angular velocity. Pump Options and Limitations The wall heat transfer, wall friction, CHF calculation and implicit hydrodynamics options for the PUMP module are the same as for the PIPE module. In addition, the following options are specified: pump type, motor action, reverse speed option, two-phase option, and pump curve option. If the pump motor is energized, its angular velocity is assumed to be the constant value specified. If the motor is not energized, a pump coastdown calculation is performed using the specified initial pump speed. There are two pump options available. For pump option 1 (IPMPTY = 1) the pump speed variation is specified by input. The pump is initially energized at a constant speed specified by input (OMEGA). The pump motor may be tripped by a TRIP signal. If a pump trip has occurred, the pump speed is taken from a table of pump speed versus time-after-trip (array SPTBL). Pump option 2 (IPMPTY = 2) is similar to option I except that the pump speed is calculated from Equation 9-9 after a trip has occurred rather than from an input table. The electric torque TE is assumed to be zero. The relationships between the various pump input parameters as well E as the algorithm for the pump speed calculation are shown in Table 9-2. The value entered for IPMPTR is the TRIP identification number for pump trip initiation and NPMPTX is the number of pairs of points in the pump speed table (SPTBL). If IPMPTR = 0, the pump will maintain a constant speed. If the reverse speed option is specified (IRP = 1), the pump can rotate in both the forward and reverse directions. If reverse speed is not allowed (IRP = 0), the pump will rotate in the forward direction only. For this case, if a negative speed is calculated (after trip with option 2), the speed will be set to zero. 4384-non\sec9.wpd-04203 99
If the two-phase option is tumed on (IPM = 1), the degraded pump head and torque will be calculated from Equations 9-7 and 9-8. If the two-phase option is turned off (IPM = 0), only the single-phase head and torque homologous curves will be used. The user may either specify pump homologous curves in the input or use the built-in pump curves. The built-in pump curves are for the MOD-I Semiscale system pump and are based on the data of Olson (1974a, b) and Loomis (1974). For other types of PWR pumps their corresponding homologous curves and multiplier values would be specified. Since these homologous curves are dimensionless, they can be used to describe a variety of pumps by specifying as input the rated values for density, head, torque, flow, and angular velocity. There are several restrictions and limitations in the current version of the pump component. Since there is no pump motor torque-versus-speed model, the pump speed is assumed at the input value if the motor is energized. The pump momentum source must be located between cells 1 and 2 of the pump model. Finally, the head degradation multiplier M(a) and the torque degradation multiplier N(a) are assumed to apply to all operating states of the pump. The PUMP module input consists of the same geometric and hydrodynamic data and initial conditions that are required for the PIPE module. In addition, information specific to the PUMP is required. The speed table (SPTBL) as well as the homologous pump curve arrays must be input. Model as Coded For the new timestep, Equation 9-9 is evaluated explicitly: 0 = (On + (d)n t (9-11) The momentum source for a pump cell is evaluated once each timestep, and the source is applied only during the explicit pass in subroutine DF1DI or subroutine DFlDS. The mixture velocity and mixture density from the donor component (i.e., conditions at the upstream boundary of the pump component) are used to establish the volumetric flowrate through the pump. Standard curve fitting techniques are then used to compute the pump head. The pump source evaluation is performed by subroutine PUMPSR. 4384-non\sec9.wpd-04203 9-10
Scaling Considerations During blowdown and reflood periods, reactor coolant pumps will be under two-phase flow conditions, and both the pump head and the pump torque will be degraded. Although the physical mechanisms responsible for the performance degradation in two-phase flows are not well understood, analysis of tests on pumps (Kamath and Swift, 1982) revealed that "scaling down the size of the pump while maintaining the same design specific speed produces very similar performance characteristics both in single and two-phase flows." The study also indicated that effects due to size and operating speed were not discernible within the range of test conditions and within experimental uncertainties. The system pressure, however, appeared to affect the rate of degradation even for the same pump. Similar results were also observed in the scaled-pump experimental tests conducted by KWU (Kostner and Seeburger, 1983). These test results suggest that uncertainties due to scaling distortion from the pump are small compared to other contributors. The effect of scaling and other uncertainties is minimized in the WCOBRAITRAC model by using data from a 1/3-scale model similar in design to the Westinghouse pump (Snyder and Grigsby, 1982). Conclusions The pump model is constructed by combining the experimentally-established pump characteristic correlations and the WCOBRA/TRAC PIPE module based on a one-dimensional drift-flux formulation. The frictional torque correlation was also experimentally established. The pump model can handle all single- and two-phase operations (with or without phase separation) and provide accurate speed, flow, and head predictions during the transient (including coastdown). The options of the model provide the users with the flexibility to model a variety of system operating conditions. The WCOBRATIRAC pump model has been assessed against LOFT L2-5 test data (Bayless et al., 1982) with satisfactory results. The model can be utilized to simulate any PWR pump for which the homologous characteristic curves have been adequately established. 9-5 Steam Generator Component (STGEN) Model Basis In a PWR, the steam generators transfer energy from the primary coolant loop to the secondary coolant to produce steam. The STGEN module can model either "U-tube" or "once-through" steam generators; the basic operation is similar for both types. Primary coolant enters an inlet plenum, flows through a tube bank in which the primary coolant exchanges heat with a secondary coolant that flows over the exterior of the tube bank, and finally discharges into an outlet plenum. Figure 9-8 provides typical noding diagrams for U-tube and once-through steam generators. In both cases the tube bank is represented by a single effective tube that has heat transfer characteristics of the entire tube bank. 4384-non\sec9.wpd-04203 9-11
Model as Coded The number of fluid mesh cells is specified by NCELL1 on the primary side and by NCELL2 on the secondary side. There are some constraints imposed on the possible values for (NCELL1, NCELL2) combinations. For a once-through type, it is required that NCELL2=NCELL1-2. For a U-tube type, it is assumed that there is a one-to-one correspondence between two active primary cells and one active secondary cell (Figure 9-8). Thus for the fluid cells on the secondary side to reach the U-tube bundle top, it is required that NCELL2 2 (NCELLI-2)/2. The secondary-side cells that are greater than (NCELLI-2)/2 are treated adiabatically and are used to model possible area changes and volumes above the tube bank. In Figure 9-8, these are cells 6 through 8 on the secondary side. There is an inlet plenum (cell 1) and outlet plenum (last cell) on the primary side; these two cells are assumed adiabatic. The steam generator, primary-side, and secondary-side hydrodynamics are treated separately. Coupling between the two sides is achieved through wall heat transfer, which is modelled in a semi-implicit fashion. The calculational sequence for a steam generator is identical to that for a PIPE (component) except that it is performed twice, once for the primary side and once for the secondary side. It is possible to connect the secondary-side junctions to any TRAC component, but the most common arrangement is to connect the inlet to a FILL, specifying the secondary-side fluid inlet conditions and flow rate, and to a BREAK at the discharge, specifying the steam- , generator secondary discharge pressure. The cylindrical heat conduction equation for a typical tube is solved as described in Section 7-7. There must be at least one wall temperature node, but three are suggested, placing one at each tube surface and one at the tube wall center. The tube material is selected from the material options given in Section 10-5. Wall friction correlations and additional frictional losses for the primary and secondary sides can be specified as described in Section 4-7. Either fully implicit or seni-implicit hydrodynamics may be selected for the steam generator component. 9-6 Pressurizer Component (PRIZER) Model Basis The pressurizer in a PWR is used to control the primary coolant system operating pressure and accommodate any change in the coolant volume during normal operation. It consists of a pressure vessel connected to one of the hot legs by a surge line. Approximately half of the vessel is filled with water, which is pressurized by saturated steam above it. The pressure is maintained at the operating setpoint value by a system of heaters and sprays which regulate the energy input to the water. 4384-non\sec9.wpd-04203 9-12
Model as Coded The pressurizer is simulated by the PRIZER component. It can connect only to another one-dimensional component, and its nodes are numbered, 1 to NCELL, from the top (closed end) to the junction at the bottom as shown in Figure 9-9. The PRIZER component is treated in most respects as a PIPE; however, the drift velocities are not obtained from the slip routine, but are specified in subroutine PRIZR1, which imposes a sharp liquid/vapor interface during the pressurizer discharge. This is done by setting the relative velocity to a large value, [
]a ( l12)(2)
The negative sign is included to be consistent with the sign conventions used in the code. The controlling action of the heater/spray can be simulated in the PRIZER component. The heater/spray model is available as an input option and is used as a system pressure controller. If this option is used, the setpoint pressure and the pressure deviation DPMAX at which the heaters deliver their maximum power QHEAT are input. The calculated heater power is directly proportional to the difference between PSET and P(l), the pressure in node 1. Qpressurizer = QHEAT(PSET - P(l))IDPMAX This power (Qpressurizer) is limited to +/- QHEAT and is distributed to each node as a function of the node liquid fraction to total pressurizer liquid fraction. Power is not added if the collapsed liquid level falls below the input height ZHTR. The collapsed liquid level within the PRIZER component is given by the following equation: z = V,/A (9-13) where NCELIS VI i=l ( - xi) Vi(9-14) and V and V are the volume of the node i and the total volume of liquid in the pressurizer, respectively. A is the maximum flow area of nodes 1 and 2. 4384-non\sec9.wpd-04203 9-13
9-7 VALVE Component Model Basis The VALVE component is used to simulate the controlling action of a valve fitting. It comprises at least two fluid nodes. The flow area and hydraulic diameter at a given node boundary are used as the controlling parameters to model the valve operation. In all other respects, the VALVE component is identical to the PIPE component. Model as Coded The noding scheme is shown in Figure 9-10. Node IVPS defines the node boundary where the valve action is modelled. Five options are provided to describe the valve operation (Table 9-3). Options 1 through 4 open or close the valve with a trip. The action can be instantaneous or a function of time. Option 5 models a check valve with the open or closed condition determined by a pressure differential between the specified nodes (IVPS and IVPS-1) and a set point. For this option the valve opening and closing is damped to prevent pressure oscillations. 9-8 Accumulator Component (ACCUM) An accumulator is a pressure vessel partially filled with water and pressurized with nitrogen gas. The accumulator is isolated from the primary coolant system (RCS) by a check valve. If reactor coolant pressure falls below accumulator pressure, the check valve opens and the accumulator water is forced into the RCS. This flow continues until the accumulator is empty, after which the nitrogen cover gas is discharged. During a LOCA transient, the accumulators of a PWR will deliver ECC water to the cold legs. The accumulator injection period may be divided into two time intervals: Phase A: tAcc t to PhaseB: to t t, where tACc is the time when the accumulator starts to deliver ECC water, to is the time when the accumulator is empty of water, t is the time when the pressure in the accumulator is in equilibrium with that of the RCS, and no more flow issues from the accumulator. Although the core recovers during a small break LOCA event priorto the time at which the accumulator empties, Phase B is discussedfor completeness. 4384-non\sec9.wpd-04203 9-14
During phase A, only water enters the RCS. The nitrogen in the accumulator continues to expand in volume as the pressure in the accumulator decreases. The nitrogen cools as it expands. During this phase, accumulator water begins to fill the reactor vessel downcomer and core. Meanwhile, the reactor pressure falls to near the containment pressure. During phase B a water/nitrogen mixture, and finally only the-nitrogen gas, enters the RCS. Because of the width of the tank, the water-nitrogen interface is likely to be well-defined. Consequently, the time during which a water-nitrogen mixture flows from the tank is expected to be small. As the nitrogen flows into the vessel, the upper portion of the downcomer may be pressurized due to the presence of the nitrogen flow. This increase in pressure may affect the cooling flow entering or leaving the core. The way in which these phenomena are simulated in WCOBRA/TRAC is described below. Accumulator Model Basis (Phase A) The accumulator component is simulated in the ACCUM module in WCOBRA/TRAC. This component can only be connected at one junction to other WCOBRA/TRAC components. This connection is the highest number cell, and it is assumed that cell 1 is closed, as shown in the typical noding diagram in Figure 9-11. It is also assumed that the accumulator is not connected to a nitrogen pressure source. Therefore, the nitrogen pressure results from the expansion of the initial gas volume. The following additional assumptions are made for the ACCUM component during Phase A:
- 1. The vapor phase in the accumulator is an ideal gas with the properties of nitrogen.
- 2. The relative velocity between the vapor and liquid is set to a large value to create a sharp interface between the liquid and vapor. This assumption is made because the relatively large diameter of the tank leads to low fluid velocities and rapid phase separation.
- 3. The mixture properties at the last accumulator cell are controlled such that only pure liquid is discharged. This assumption is also a result of the expected sharp interface between liquid and vapor.
- 4. The wall friction factor for each accumulator tank cell is set to a constant value of 0.005. The accumulator is expected to represent a negligible portion of the overall resistance to flow.
4384-non\sec9.wpd-04203 9-15
- 5. The accumulator tank walls are assumed to be adiabatic. Heat transfer from the accumulator walls is not expected to be significant, due to the small surface area per unit volume.
Nitrogen Discharge Model Basis (Phase B) During the accumulator water injection period, a nitrogen gas field is assumed to exist in the accumulator, while steam is assumed everywhere else in WCOBRA/TRAC. While the nitrogen field can be extended (as an input option) to all other WCOBRA/TRAC components, a combined nitrogen-steam-water model is not available. To simulate the nitrogen discharge, the subcooled vapor model in WCOBRA/TRAC is used to provide similar pressure/flow characteristics to those obtained from a nitrogen model. In this model, the normal hydrodynamics package is used. However, the following additional assumptions are made:
- 1. Phase B is assumed to begin when the water level in the accumulator tank falls below [ ]C (the basis for this value is described in Section 16-2-5). At this point, a mixture of water and nitrogen is assumed to flow out of the tank.
- 2. During Phase B, heat transfer between liquid and vapor is suppressed in regions of the RCS expected to contain significant amounts of nitrogen. This is assumed to occur as long as the accumulator pressure remains significantly above the RCS pressure (implying significant flow of nitrogen).
The region over which the condensation suppression is assumed to occur is shown in Figure 9-12 and consists of the accumulator and line, the intact cold leg, the upper downcomer region, and the broken cold leg on the vessel side. The nitrogen influence is assumed to be limited to this region as discussed below. At the time nitrogen begins to inject, the lower plenum and downcomer are full of water, and the core has begun to reflood. Any steam generated in the core will flow up the core and out through the loops and upper head vent paths. In addition, the high downcomer water level provides a driving force for this flow. It is therefore unlikely that accumulator nitrogen flow will cause reverse flow in the loop or upper head. If it does, this flow would have to be sustained for a substantial period of time before the nitrogen will reach the upper plenum. 43 84-non\sec9.wpd-04203 9-16
In the reactor vessel, the accumulator water isolates the nitrogen from the core. The region of influence is assumed to extend to a point in the downcomer level with the bottom of the core. If the downcomer is full above this level, no steam will be available for condensation and the condensation suppression will make no difference.
- 3. During Phase B, the behavior of the nitrogen can be simulated using the subcooled vapor models in the code.
This assumption was checked by comparing two simple models of the accumulator, one in which the entire process takes place with nitrogen, and one where the nitrogen model is replaced during Phase B with a model using the one-dimensional component subcooled vapor equations. 3 ) In the nitrogen model, the pressure/temperature/density relationships are for a perfect gas. The simple models were used to predict pressure and flow, using a linear ramp for the pressure at the accumulator exit and representative accumulator dimensions. Accumulator and Nitrogen Model as Coded The procedures for data input, initialization of arrays, advancement of time-dependent variables, and editing are similar to those given for a PIPE component. The hydrodynamics are treated using the one-dimensional, semi-implicit drift-flux routine DFIDS. No metal heat transfer is permitted for the accumulator. In addition, the following special coding is employed for each of the phases. During Phase A:
- 1. Nitrogen properties are calculated in subroutine THERMO. The gas constant used is 287.12 Pa m 3 /kg K (53.4 ft lbf/lbm OR), which is consistent with standard values found in handbooks.
4384-non\sec9.wpd-04203 9-17
- 2. The liquid vapor interface is sharply defined by setting the relative velocity to a large value. This is set in ACCUMl and is [
]a (9-15)
The negative sign is included to be consistent with the sign conventions used in the code.
- 3. The discharge at accumulator exit during Phase A is limited to liquid only by setting the component boundary array elements representing the void fraction to zero. This is done in subroutine ACCUMBD.
- 4. Accumulator wall friction is set to 0.005 in ACCUM 1. User specified friction factors, input via the parameter FRIC, may be added to this value.
The end of Phase A is determined by the collapsed liquid level. The collapsed liquid level is calculated in subroutine ACCMIX by computing the total liquid volume in the accumulator tank and then determining the height of this volume at the bottom of the tank. This collapsed level is used to signal that the accumulator is nearly empty. The signal is set when the collapsed level falls below [ ]a.C The time when this occurs is to, and the code moves to Phase B. For Phase B (simulated nitrogen injection), additional special coding is required as described below.
- 1. In the accumulator, [

- 2. The steam properties for [
]a.c

Scaling Considerations The model was tested in simulations of the accumulator in the integral test facility simultaneous, and against data obtained from in-plant tests. A description of the in-plant test simulation as it applies to the accumulator model is given in Section 22 of this report. Conclusions The basic assumptions which are made in the application of this model to the PWR and which introduce uncertainty into the calculation are:
- 1. The condensation is assumed to be suppressed in the intact cold legs, upper downcomer, and broken nozzle until all nitrogen has been exhausted from the accumulator and swept from the systems.
- 2. The nitrogen vapor properties are approximated by subcooled vapor flow.
These uncertainties are not relevant to a small break LOCA scenario, and do not need to be considered in the uncertaintymethodology. 9-9 BREAK and FILL Components These models differ from other components in that they do not model any system component per se, and no hydrodynamic or heat transfer calculations are performed for them. In all other respects, they are treated as any other component, with the same input, initialization, and identification procedures. A BREAK component is used to impose a pressure boundary condition adjacent to the one-dimensional component with which it connects (Figure 9-13). The boundary conditions specified by the BREAK are pressure, mixture temperature and node void fraction, all of which may be time dependent. Care is required when setting the mixture temperature and void fraction values, as these are used to determine the properties of the fluid if the flow is calculated to be in the reverse direction, i.e., into the system from the BREAK. In the normal mode of operation, where the fluid flows out through the BREAK, the mixture temperature and void fraction do not affect the calculation. The FILL component is used to impose a velocity boundary condition at the junction between the FILL and the adjoining one-dimensional component (Figure 9-14). The boundary velocity may be specified by one of the five different input options. The options define the velocity as a 4384-non\sec9.wpd-04203 9-19
constant, or as a function of time or pressure, or as a constant until a trip signal is reached, then -_l again as a function of time or pressure. The fluid properties within the FILL node are determined from the user input values of void fraction, mixture temperature, and pressure. 9-10 References Bayless, P.

SECTION 10 THERMOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES 10-1 Introduction WCOBRA/TRAC includes a set of functional routines and individual correlations to calculate the thermal properties of water, air, nuclear rods and several common structural materials. This section describes the manner in which the thermal properties are calculated for the vessel and one-dimensional components. Section 10-2 describes calculation of the thermodynamic properties of water. Section 10-3 describes the WCOBRA/TRAC calculation of air thermal properties. Section 104 describes the thermal properties of materials used in nuclear fuel rods including mixed oxide fuel, clad materials, and fuel rod gap gases. WCOBRA/TRAC can also calculate the thermal properties of several common PWR structural materials such as stainless steel. These calculations are described in Section 10-5. 10-2 Thermophysical Properties of Water 10-2-1 Vessel Component Water Properties The thermal-hydraulic calculations performed by the WCOBRA/TRAC vessel component frequently require the thermal conductivity, specific heat, viscosity, Prandtl number, and surface tension for water as functions of the fluid pressure and specific enthalpy. This section describes the thermodynamic property calculations performed by WCOBRAtTRAC for saturated, superheated, and subcooled fluid conditions. 10-2-1-1 Saturated Fluid Properties Model Basis The saturated liquid and saturated vapor enthalpies are calculated as functions of the pressure. Values for the saturation temperature, densities of saturated liquid and vapor, thermal conductivities and viscosities of saturated liquid and vapor, saturated liquid specific heat, and the surface tension are interpolated from tables indexed by saturated liquid enthalpy. The saturated liquid and saturated vapor specific enthalpies are determined from polynomial representations of the saturation curve. This representation provides close agreement with ASME Steam Tables (1968) and the NBS/NRC Steam Tables (Haar, Gallagher, and Kell, 1984). 4384-non\secl O.wpd-04203 10-1
The tables of values at saturation for the other properties (conductivities, viscosities, etc.) are also in close agreement with the standard tables. The saturation enthalpies are calculated in BtuAlbm as functions of pressure based on expressions developed for EPRI (McFadden et al., 1980). The polynomial expansions for saturated liquid enthalpy are 9 H(P) = E A, [n(P)]Y-' (10-1) n=l if P < 2529.9 psia and 9 H/P) = E A[(3208.2 - p)041P-1 (10-2) n=1 for 2529.9 P < 3208.0 psia. The constants An for Equations 10-1 and 10-2 are shown in Table 10-1. The saturated vapor enthalpy is calculated using 5 8 Hg(P) B,[ln(P))n- + Z Bn[ln(P)]n 3 (10-3) n=l n=6 if 0.1 < P < 1467.6 psia, by 9 Hg(P) = I n[In(P)]"-' (10-4) n=l 4384-non\secIO.wpd-04203 10-2
if 1467.6 s P < 2586.0 psia and by 9 H(P) = E Bn[(3208.2 _ p)O41P-1 (10-5) n=1 if 2586.0 s P < 3208.0 psia. The constants Ln for Equations 10-3 through 10-5 are listed in Table 10-2. These expressions are compared to values from the ASME Steam Tables (1968, 1983) in Figures 10-1 and 10-2. Table 10-3 lists values of the saturation temperature, density, viscosity, thermal conductivity, specific heat, and surface tension that are used to represent the saturation curve for those properties. The saturation curves defined by these tables are compared to values from the standard tables in Figures 10-3 through 10-11. Model as Coded For a known pressure P the saturated liquid enthalpy is calculated using either Equation 10-1 or 10-2 in subroutine SAT. From that calculated value of saturated liquid enthalpy, the other properties are determined in subroutine PROP by linearly interpolating between the 90 values listed in Table 10-3. Scale Considerations Calculation of saturated water thermophysical properties is not dependent on scale. Conclusions The WCOBRAITRAC vessel component calculates saturated liquid and saturated vapor enthalpies as functions of pressure using polynomial representations, and then uses the saturated liquid enthalpy to determine the other thermal properties by linear interpolation. All of the saturated properties agree very closely with values found in the standardized Steam Tables. 4384-non\secl O.wpd-04203 10-3
10-2-1-2 Properties of Superheated Vapor Model Basis Vapor Enthalpv The enthalpy of superheated vapor as a function of pressure and temperature is calculated by the expression developed by Keenan and Keys (1936): H, = 0.43 [0.10129 (FOP + F+/- p2 + _2 p4 + 12 p13) + Fj (10-6) where, F, F, F3 , and F 2 are defined by Fk= a (Bk ), k = 0,1,3,12 (10-7) The coefficients Bk are defined as:
= IT (10-8)
Bo = 1.89 - 2641.62 10808702 (10-9) B, = B82.546 T2 - 1.6246(10)5 3
,C ) (10-10)
B3 = B (0.21828 ' - 1.2697(10) 5 'T) (10-11) B = -B 13 (3.635(10)-4 -r2 - 6768(10)64Y36 ) (10-12) 4384-non\sec1O.wpd-04203 104
and F' is given by F' = 2502.36 + fT (1.472 + 0.00075566T + 478365)dT(10-13) 3.16 T In Equations 10-6 through 10-13, T is in K, P is in atmospheres, and HV is in J/g. Vapor Temperature Values for superheated vapor temperature as a function of pressure and enthalpy are calculated using an iterative method described by McClintock and Silvestri (1936). Estimates for T and C are computed from the expressions 2 3 2 T = Al + A 2 Hv + A3 H + A4 H, + A P + A 6P (10-14)
+ A 7P 3 + P(A8Hv + Ag9 1 + AIOHv)

+ B7 (ln P)3 + (InP)(B8 H + BH 2 + BIOH3 )
where T is in F, P is in psia, Hv is in Btu/bm, and Cp is in BtuAbm-°F. The constants An and B. depend on the range of pressure and enthalpy as shown in Table 10-4. The estimated temperature is then used to approximate the enthalpy as Hv?(P,T) = f(P,T) (10-16) where the function f(P,7) is described by Equations 10-6 through 10-13. A temperature correction is calculated as 4384-non\secl O.wpd-04203 10-5
AT = C (H, - H)(1-7 and a new estimated temperature is defined as T' = T + AT (10-18) A new enthalpy is calculated and the iteration is continued until IATI < 1.0°F or HV - HVfl < 0.5 Btullbm Vapor Density The vapor specific volume is calculated as a function of pressure and enthalpy using equations from Keenan and Keys (1936): u = = E + E 2P+ 3 + E4 H + E5 PH +E- 2 (10-19) where P is in psia, H, is in Btu/lbm, and u is in ft 3 Abm. The constants for these equations are El = -0.81735849E-03 E2 = 0.12378514E-04 E3 = -0.10339904E+04 E4 = -0.62941689E-05 E 5 = -0.872921608E-08 E6 = 0.12460225E+I01 Vapor Thermal Conductivity The thermal conductivity for superheated vapor is calculated as a function of temperature and density using equations given in the ASME Steam Tables (1968). The expression for thermal conductivity is: 4384-non\sec IO.wpd-04203 10-6
ky = k + (103.51 + 0.4198 T - 2.771(10)-5T 2 )p, + 2.1482(10)14 v (10-20) where: k = 17.6 + 5.87(10)-2T + 1.04(l0)-4 T 2 - 4.51(10)-8 T 3 (10-21) In Equations 10-20 and 10-21, T is in C, pv is in g/cm3 , and kv is in mW/m-°K. Vapor Viscosity The viscosity for superheated vapor is calculated as a function of temperature and density using equations given in the ASME Steam Tables (1968). The viscosity is given by p - p(1858 - 5.9Y) , if T <3400 C Pv l + 353p + 676.5p 2 + 102.1p 3 , if T > 3650C (1022) PI = 0.407T + 80.4 (10-23) For values of T between 340 0 C and 365°C the viscosity is interpolated between the values given by the two expressions in Equation 10-22. In Equations 10-22 and 10-23 temperature is in C, density is in g/cm3 , and viscosity is in micropoise. Values of superheated vapor enthalpy, temperature, density, thermal conductivity, and viscosity defined by the foregoing expressions are compared with the ASME tables (1968, 1983) and the National Bureau of Standards/National Research Council tables (Haar, Gallagher, and Kell, 1984) in Figures 10-12 through 10-16. Model as Coded The properties for superheated vapor represented by Equations 10-6 through 10-23 are coded as described above without modification in subroutines HGAS, TGAS, VOLVAP, and TRANSP. Properties are not calculated if P < 0.1 psia or if P > 3208.0 psia, in which cases an error message is printed and execution is terminated. 4384-non\secl O.wpd-04203 10-7
In the calculation of vapor temperature as a function of pressure and enthalpy, Equations 10-14 through 10-18 describe an iterative method. A maximum of 10 iterations are permitted. Scalin! Considerations The equations and methods used to calculate the properties for superheated vapor are independent of scale. Conclusions The WCOBRA/TRAC vessel component calculates superheated vapor enthalpy as a function of temperature and pressure, density as a function of pressure and enthalpy, and thermal conductivity as a function of temperature and density, using generalized polynomials. Temperature as a function of pressure and enthalpy is found iteratively using the enthalpy function. All of these properties agree closely with values found in standard steam tables. 10-2-1-3 Subcooled Liquid Properties Model Basis Subcooled liquid specific volume is calculated using the equation 3~ ~ ~ ~ V = exp [ ( Ccxi Pi4 H l (10-24) where H, is in Btu/Ibm, P is in psia, and the values of the coefficients Ccxij are given in Table 10-5. The liquid temperature at enthalpy (H,) is assumed to be equal to the saturation temperature at H,. The properties Cp, k, and p for subcooled liquid at temperature T are assumed to be equal to the saturated liquid properties at T. These properties are only weakly dependent on pressure in the low to moderate pressure range. The liquid Prandtl number is calculated as Pr = kP (10-25) kf 4384-non\sec1O.wpd-04203 10-8
Model as Coded The equation for subcooled liquid specific volume is programmed as shown in subroutine VOLLIQ. Other subcooled liquid properties are determined by linear interpolation of the saturation properties listed in Table 10-3. The liquid enthalpy is used as the index to determine the appropriate location in the table in which to perform the interpolation. Scalin2 Considerations The method in which subcooled liquid properties are determined is scale independent. Conclusions Subcooled liquid properties are estimated to be equal to the properties of saturated liquid corresponding to the liquid temperature. Since these properties are only weakly dependent on pressure, only a negligible error is introduced into the calculation. 10-2-2 One-Dimensional Component Water Properties The thermodynamic and transport properties used in the WCOBRATIRAC one-dimensional (D) components are based on polynomial fits to steam table data for water, and on ideal gas behavior for air.- The fits for transport properties were obtained from Coffrnan and Lynn (1966). 10-2-2-1 Saturated Fluid Properties Model Basis Saturation Temperature and Pressure Saturation temperature as a function of pressure, and saturation pressure as a function of temperature, are calculated using expressions recommended by Rivard and Torrey (1975). These are T23 - 255.2 0 (10-26) 117.8 ) and Tsa = 117.8 (10-5Psa,)223 + 255.2 (10-27) 4384-non\secl 0.wpd-04203 10-9
The derivative of saturation temperature with respect to pressure is given by 0.223 (sat - 255.2) (10-28) Psat Saturated Vapor Internal Enera and Enthalpy Two main pressure regions are used in the calculation of water vapor internal energy and enthalpy. The low pressure range is P < 2.0 x 106 Pa and the high pressure range is 2.0 x 106 Pa < P, where P is the pressure and Tsat is its corresponding saturation temperature. Low Pressure Region: The internal energy of saturated vapor and its derivative with respect to pressure are eg = AVE(1) + BVE(1)T, (10-29) deg = -BVE(1) T' (10-30) dP where: T = 1I(P + 3.403E5) (10-31) High Pressure Region: eg = AVE(2) + BVE(2) P + CVE(2) p2 (10-32) deg = BVE(2) + 2 CVE(2) P (10-33) dP 4384-non\sec10.wpd-04203 10-10
The values of the constants AVE(i), BVE(z), and CVE(i) are listed in Table 10-6. All pressures: The ratio of specific heats, saturated vapor enthalpy, and derivatives with respect to pressure are calculated from: yg = AVG(i) + BVG(z) P + CVG(z) p 2 (10-34) dy_ dPl = BVG(z) + 2 CVG(i) P (10-35) Hg = yg e (10-36) dH8 = deg (10-37) dP g dP The values of the constants AVG(i), BVG(i), and CVG(i) are listed in Table 10-7. Saturated Liquid Internal Energy and Enthalpy A series of polynomials in T is used to calculate the internal energy of saturated liquid and its derivative with respect to saturation temperature. These are given by: ef = ALE(i) + BLE(I) T + CLE(i) T + DLE(i) T + ELE(I) T (10-38) and f0 ==t BLE(i) + 2 CLE(i) Tsa, + 3 DLE(i) T + 4 ELE(t) T . (10-39) 4384-non\sec IO.wpd-04203 10-1 1
where: i =1 for Tsat < 548.15 K, i=2 for 548.15 T < 611.15 K, i=3 for 611.15 Tt Table 10-8 lists the constants ALE(i), BLE(i), CLE(i), DLE(O), and ELE(i) for the given temperature ranges. Saturated liquid enthalpy is calculated using the definition Hf = ef + P (10-40) Pf and its derivative by dHf def dTsat I P p( + P a7 t (10-41) dP dT, dP pf 2 ap T,,U taTsa)p dP J where ef and its derivative are evaluated as shown earlier, and where p = p (P, Tsa) and its derivatives are evaluated using the equations in Section 10-2-24 with T equal to 7'sa, Saturated Vapor Specific Heat Capacity The heat capacity of saturated steam at constant pressure is also calculated using a polynomial representation in Tsat. The saturated vapor specific heat and its derivative are given by CPdpg = ACP

The input variables are the pressure and the liquid- and vapor-phase temperatures. The output variables include the saturation temperature, saturated liquid, and saturated vapor enthalpies corresponding to the pressure, and their derivatives with respect to pressure. These variables also include the internal energies and densities of the liquid and vapor phases, and their partial derivatives with respect to pressure (at constant temperature) and with respect to temperature (at constant pressure). THERMO supplies thermodynamic properties valid for temperatures and pressures within the following ranges: 280 K T*s 697 K and 1000 Pa P 19.0 X 106 Pa. If THERMO is provided with a temperature outside this range, the calculation stops. Given a pressure outside this range, it adjusts the data to the corresponding limit and issues a warning message. 4384-non\secl O.wpd-04203 10-13
Subroutine RHOLIQ calculates liquid densities and density derivatives used in THERMO. Saturation pressure, and phasic densities and enthalpies as calculated are compared with NBS/NRC tables (Haar, Gallagher, and Kell, 1984) in Figures 10-17 through 10-21. Scaling Considerations Not applicable. Conclusions The saturation conditions for the WCOBRAIRAC one-dimensional components are calculated using polynomial expressions that provide a close approximation to the Steam Table values. The error introduced by the WCOBRA/TRAC routines is small and is not considered a major contributor to the overall code calculational uncertainty. 10-2-2-2 Properties of Superheated Vapor Model Basis Specific Heat at Constant Pressure The constant pressure specific heat of steam at temperature Tv is approximated as c 'm_pvideal I ____ Cpv = a( ) 8T 2 l (T2 ) ] (1044) where: [ ( 2 Cpg 1)2l (1045) pv. ideal The term Cpg is calculated as defined in Equation 10-42 and CpV, ideal is defined by ideal gas behavior, such that cpv.ideal RvYideal ideal 1 (10-46) 7 ideal 4384-non\sec I O.wpd-04203 10-14

For superheated vapor, however, minimum and maximum limits are placed on the calculated values of the density and its partial derivatives.

Conclusions The thermodynamic properties for superheated vapor in WCOBRA/TRAC one-dimensional components are calculated from thermodynamic first principles. The calculated values are in good agreement with those found in the Steam Tables. The error introduced by the WCOBRA/TRAC routines is small and thus is not considered a major contributor to the overall code calculational uncertainty. 10-2-2-3 Subcooled Vapor Properties Model Basis WCOBRA/TRAC calculates internal energy, density, and enthalpy in one-dimensional components in the following manner when the vapor is subcooled.

Scaling- Considerations Not applicable. Conclusions The thermodynamic properties for subcooled vapor in WCOBRAITRAC one-dimensional components are calculated in a manner consistent with calculations for superheated vapor, which are derived from thermodynamic first principles. Subcooled vapor occurs only infrequently during a LOCA transient. As such, the error introduced by WCOBRA/TRAC subcooled vapor property calculations is assumed minor and is not considered a contributor to the code uncertainty. 10-2-2-4 Subcooled Liquid Properties Model Basis Internal Energy For a liquid at a subcooled temperature T, and pressure P the liquid internal energy associated with that state is calculated starting with the internal energy of the saturated liquid state described by T and Psa(T,), which is the saturation pressure corresponding to T, 4384-non\secl O.wpd-04203 10-22
and adding an additional term which represents the change in internal energy from the state (Tf, Psai(Ti)) to the state (T,, P). That is, e,(T1 , P) = ef(T) + OI(P,T,) (10-78) The additional term 01, which represents the change in energy required to move along the isotherm at T between two different pressure values, namely Pat(TI) and P, is represented as 01 = (P'Psat(Ti)) ~a (10-79) where: rT - 255.2 1/0.223 Pa(T)=(10)t 117.8 J(10-80) The partial derivative with respect to pressure of the internal energy is ( =CROK + C 2 Psar (TI) (10-81) where: CKO = -8.33544 x 104 CK2 = -2.24745 x 10-17 Therefore the partial derivative with respect to T of the internal energy increment is calculated as ( aj -CKO - CK2[2 Psa,(T,)P -3 P,1at -)8 aTj ) (I117.8)(0.223) P(Ti) 0767 (10-82) lo, Lo,5 4384-non%secI0.wpd-04203 10-23

Conclusions The TRAC-PD2 subcooled water thermodynamic property routines used in WCOBRA/TRAC for one dimensional components have been compared by Rivard and Torrey (1975) with steam table data. The agreement is good in the region for 373 K < T < 523 K and 0.4178 x 106 JlKg < e < 1.0808 x 106 JlKg. Comparison with the WATER package (Coffman and Lynn, 1966) over a wider range also showed good agreement except for very extreme cases not expected in a PWR LOCA. 10-2-2-5 Transport Properties Model Basis This section describes the WCOBRA/TRAC calculations performed to obtain the specific heat, fluid viscosity, thermal conductivity, and surface tension for one-dimensional components. The equations used for these quantities are polynomial fits to data. Specific Heat The constant pressure specific heat for liquid water is given in J/kg°K as a function of enthalpy and pressure by CP1 = {H1[H1(DO +D,,P)+(COI + C1 P)1 +B 0 1+B 1IP}' (10-105) For vapor, the constant pressure specific heat is given by: Cpv = Cl,+C2 ,Tv+ C v,I 3 + C 4 vP3 (10-106) (c 5 wTi-c 6 i (c 5 T-c 6 ar where the coefficients of Equations 10-105 and 10-106 are listed in Table 10-9. 4384-non\sec IO.wpd-04203 10-28
Liquid Viscosity Calculation of liquid viscosity is divided into three different ranges based on the liquid enthalpy.

If Tv < 280.0 K, the vapor conductivity is kv = 0.0228 (10-121) 4384-non\sec O.wpd-04203 10-31
Surface Tension The surface tension is calculated in N/m as, C( = (a 2 + 1 + a3 a4 + a504 (10-122) where: 0 = 647.3 - sat (10-123) The coefficients for Equation 10-122 are given in Table 10-13. Model as Coded Subroutine FPROP is used to obtain transport properties for liquid and vapor water. The input variables for this subroutine are the saturation temperature corresponding to the total pressure, the internal energies, densities, and temperatures of the liquid and vapor phases and the total pressure. The output transport variables include the constant pressure specific heats, viscosities, and thermal conductivities of the liquid and gas phases, and the surface tension of the liquid. The transport property calls are function calls within the FPROP subroutine. Function CPLL calculates the constant pressure specific heat of the liquid, while function CPVV 1 determines the value of the constant pressure specific heat of the vapor. Function THCL evaluates the liquid thermal conductivity, and function THCV calculates the steam thermal conductivity. Similarly, functions VISCL and VISCV determine viscosity values. Finally, function SIGMA calculates the surface tension. The equations shown are coded directly. Sample curves of liquid and vapor specific heat, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and the surface tension calculated by these routines along the saturation line are shown in Figures 10-22 through 10-28. 43 84-non\sec IO.wpd-04203 10-32
In some instances, upper and lower limits are maintained on the calculated values of the transport properties. These limits are summarized as follows: Specific Heat The maximum permitted value for the liquid specific heat is C =4.Ox 104. If the calculation of C,, by Equation 10-105 performed by function CPLL yields a value greater than this, Cp, is reset to 4.0x10 4 . No limits are placed on the calculation of the vapor specific heat. Viscosity The minimum permitted value of vapor viscosity is p,= 10-7. If the calculation of p, by Equations 10-113 through 10-115 yields a value less than this in function VISCV, p, is reset to 10-7. No limits are imposed on the liquid phase viscosity. Thermal Conductivity The minimum permitted value of the liquid thermal conductivity is k,=0.09. If, in function THCL, Equation 10-116 yields a value lower than this, k is reset to 0.09. The minimum permitted value for vapor thermal conductivity is k=10-4 . If Equation 10-118 in function THCV calculates a value less than 10 4, kv is reset to 104. Surface Tension If Tsa, > 647.3, the surface tension is set to a = 0.0. Scalin2 Considerations Not applicable. Conclusions In NUREG/CR-2054, it was reported that the thermodynamic and transport property fits used in TRAC-PD2 were compared by Rivard and Torrey (1975) with steam table data over a wide range of parameters. The agreement is satisfactory in the saturation region and in the superheated steam region for 1.0 x 105 Pa < P < 100.0 x 105 Pa and 423.0 K < T, < 823.0 K. The agreement also is good in the subcooled water region for 373.0 K < T < 523.0 K and 0.417 8 x 10 6J/kg < e < 1.080 8 x 106 J/kg. Further verification was performed by comparing the TRAC-PD2 polynomial fits with the WATER package (Coffman and Lynn, 1966) over a wider range of nonequilibrium (99 K of both superheat and subcooling) for a pressure variation of 1.0 x 105 Pa to 2.0 x 107 Pa. The 4384-non\secO.wpd-04203 10-33
comparisons showed good agreement for both the thermodynamic and transport properties throughout the saturation and nonequilibrium regions except for very extreme cases, which are not expected in a PWR LOCA. The WCOBRA/TRAC property package for one-dimensional components is identical to the TRAC-PD2 package. Therefore, for most WCOBRA/TRAC applications, the thermodynamic and transport property routines will provide realistic values over a wide range. The simplified polynomial fits provide an efficient and low-cost method compared to other approaches such as steam table interpolation. 10-3 Thermophysical Properties of Air 10-3-1 Vessel Component Model Basis WCOBRA/TRAC can perform calculations for conditions in which there is air in the vessel component. This section describes the thermodynamic properties which are defined for air in the WCOBRA/TRAC vessel component. Enthalpv The enthalpy of air is calculated as Hair =prA air, rf/iT ref (10-124) where the reference values are Tref = 40.0 0 F, Hrej = 188.49 BtuAlbm, and Cpref = 0.249 Btu/ Ibm-°F. Densitv The density of air is calculated from the ideal gas law with the gas constant for air assumed to be Rair 0.37042 psi, °R (Iblft3) . Thus, the density of air is given by p Pair= R(T +4596) (10-125) 4384-non\secl O.wpd-04203 10-34
Gas Temperature The air temperature is estimated from the enthalpy using the inverse of Equation 10-124. Specific Heat The specific heat for air in BTU/lbm-°F is determined in two different temperature ranges. If T 600K, C 0.244388 +ATj +AT 3

Model as Coded The equations used to calculate the thermodynamic properties of air, Equations 10-124 through 10-127, are coded as shown without modification. No upper or lower limits are imposed on the values calculated. Calculations are performed in Subroutines HGAS and TGAS. Scaling Considerations Not Applicable Conclusions The WCOBRA/TRAC vessel component can perform calculations to estimate the thermodynamic properties of air. This option, however, is not used in a LOCA analysis. 10-3-2 One-Dimensional Components Model Basis This section describes the calculation of thermodynamic and transport properties in WCOBRA/TRAC one-dimensional components for air. 4384-non\secl O.wpd-04203 10-35

Conclusions The WCOBRA/TRAC one-dimensional components calculate thermodynamic properties for air assuming it behaves as an ideal gas. The transport properties are based on polynomial fits to data. The correlations approximately calculate properties for air at low temperatures. 10-4 Thermal Properties of Nuclear Fuel Rod Materials A typical nuclear fuel rod is composed of uranium-dioxide fuel pellets and a zirconium based clad material. The gap between the fuel pellets and the clad is filled with the initial backfill gas and fission gas. As part of the WCOBRAITRAC default nuclear fuel rod model, the material properties of uranium-dioxide, Zircaloy-4, ZIRLOm, and of gas mixtures are included. This section describes the calculation of the thermal properties for these fuel rod materials. 10-4-1 Uranium Dioxide Model Basis The material properties of uranium dioxide are based on MATPRO-9 (MacDonald et al., 1976) and on MATPRO-1 1, Rev. 1 (Hagrman, Reymann, and Mason, 1980) calculations. Density The (cold) density for uranium-dioxide is assumed to be Puo = 684.86 fD (10-140) where fD is the fraction of theoretical density and is input by the user. The density puo2 has units of Ibm/ft3 . 4384-non\seclO.wpd.04203 10-38
Thermal Conductivity The UO2 thermal conductivity is computed from the MATPRO-9 correlation instead of the more complex version in MATPRO-1 1 to reduce computer time. Both correlations have the same error band (0.2 W/m-°K) and give very nearly the same conductivity over the expected operating range of 500-3000° K. The thermal conductivity in BtuJhr-ft-°F is determined from kUo2 = [max (0.0191, ( 464)) +1.216x104exp(I.867x1l-3T]C (10-141) where T, is the temperature in Celsius and C = (0.5779)100[1.0 -(1.0 -fD)]/(l.O-.0 O 5 P) (10-142) and 3= 2.58-(5.8x10-4 )T (10-143) Specific Heat The specific heat in Btu/lbm-°F for uranium dioxide is given by K 02exp(O/TK) Fom K3ED CpU = (2.388x10 4 ) 2e12 IT +K2 TK+ 2 3 Jexp(-EDRTK) (10-144) where TK is the temperature in K and 0 = Einstein temperature(535.285°K) R = 8.3143 (Jlmol-°K) K, = 296.7(Jlkg-°K) 2 K 2 = 2.43x10-2(J/kg-'K ) K3 = 8.745x10 7 (J/kg) ED= 1.577xlO5 (J/mol) FOM = oxygenlmetal ratio(2.0) 4384-non\seclO.wpd-04203 10-39

Calculations for uranium dioxide density are performed in Subroutine SETUP, those for thermal conductivity in subroutines SSTEMP and TEMP, and those for specific heat in Subroutines TEMP and MOVE. Values of conductivity and specific heat versus temperature are shown in Figures 10-29 and 10-30. Scalin2 Considerations Not applicable. Conclusions The WCOBRA/TRAC correlations for U0 2 density, specific heat and thermal conductivity are based on MATPRO-9 and MATPRO-1 1. The models and correlations for these properties were used in simulations of NRU and LOFT. Therefore, the uncertainty and reliability of these models is accounted for in the overall code bias and uncertainty. 10-4-2 Zircaloy-4 Model Basis The material properties of Zircaloy-4 are based on MATPRO-9 and MATPRO-1 1 calculations. Density The (cold) density of Zircaloy-4 clad material is assumed to be p=409.0 Ibm/ft 3 . Thermal Conductivity The thermal conductivity in Btulhr-ft-°F for Zircaloy-4 clad is given by kz = 0.5779[7.51 +0.020 9 TK-(1.45x 10-5)T2+ (7.67xlo-90TK3] (10-145) where TK is temperature in Kelvin. Specific Heat WCOBRAITRAC calculates the specific heat for Zircaloy-4 by linearly interpolating between values from a built-in table. Table 10-1 6 lists the values used to determine the specific heat of Zircaloy4. 4384-nonsecl O.wpd-04203 10-40
Model as Coded The equations for the density, thermal conductivity and specific heat of Zircaloy4 are coded into WCOBRA/TRAC as described above without modification. Density is calculated in Subroutine SETUP and HEAT, conductivity in Subroutines STEMP, TEMP, and HEAT and specific heat in Subroutines TEMP, HEAT, and MOVE. Curves of conductivity and specific heat versus temperature are shown in Figures 10-31 and 10-32. Scaling Considerations Not applicable. Conclusions The WCOBRAITRAC correlations for the density, therrnal conductivity, and specific heat of Zircaloy-4 are based on MATPRO-9 and MATPRO-1 1. These property relations were used in simulations of NRU and LOFT. 10-4-3 ZIRLOTM Model Basis The ZIRLO' alloy developed by Westinghouse represents a modification to Zircaloy-4 which was achieved by reducing the tin and iron content, eliminating the chromium, and adding a nominal one percent niobium. Table 10-17 shows a comparison of the two alloys. Since tin is an alpha phase stabilizer and niobium is a beta phase stabilizer, the reduction in tin and the addition of niobium result in reductions in the temperatures at which the ZIRLO' alloy undergoes the alpha to beta phase change, relative to Zircaloy-4. Measurements performed by Westinghouse show that the ZIRLO alloy starts the transformation at 1023 °K and ends at 1213 OK. Since the ZIRLOTm and Zircaloy-4 alloys are both about 98 percent zirconium, it should not be expected that the material properties are significantly different, except to the extent that they are affected by the differences in the phase change temperatures. Density, thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, and specific heat of both alloys have been measured by the Properties Research Laboratory using samples cut from Westinghouse production tubing (Taylor, Groot, and Larimore, 1989). Evaluation of the test results indicated that the materials are sufficiently similar that the Zircaloy-4 material properties can be used for the ZIRLO6 alloy, with the exception of the specific heat (Davidson and Nuhfer, 1990). The specific heat of the ZIRLOM alloy is based on an adjustment to Table 10-16, which considers the difference in phase change temperatures. 4384-non\sec .wpd-04203 10-41
Density The (cold) density of the ZIRLO Zircaloy-4 (409.0 Ibm/ft 3 ). cladding material is taken to be identical to that of L." Thermal Conductivity The thermal conductivity of the ZIRLO' cladding material is taken to be identical to that of Zircaloy-4, given by Equation 10-145. Specific Heat The specific heat shown in Table 10-16 for Zircaloy-4 includes both the true specific heat and the alpha to beta phase heat of transformation. The specific heat for the ZIRLO T ' cladding material was obtained by adjusting Table 10-16 to account for the difference in phase change temperatures, assuming both the true specific heat and the heat of transformation are the same for the two alloys. The true specific heat is taken to be equal to the total specific heat in Table 10-16 for T 1090°K, 0.085 BtuAlbm-°F for T 1213°K, and[ (10-146)

WCOBRAJTRAC calculates the specific heat for the ZIRLO' cladding material using the resulting total specific heat values, shown in Table 10-18. Model as Coded The density, thermal conductivity, and specific heat of the ZIRLOQ cladding material are coded into WCOBRA/TRAC as described above, without modification. Figure 10-33 shows a comparison of specific heat for ZIRLO with that of Zircaloy-4. 4384-non\sec O.wpd-04203 10-42
Scaling Considerations Not applicable. Conclusions Comparisons of the material properties for the ZIRLO and Zircaloy-4 cladding materials have shown that the Zircaloy-4 relations for density and thermal conductivity can also be applied to the ZIRLOTI alloy. The difference in the phase change temperatures of the two alloys requires that different specific heat correlations be used. The specific heat correlation for the ZIRLO alloy is based on an adjustment to the Zircaloy-4 correlation, which accounts for the different phase change temperature range. This correlation will be used for analyses of nuclear reactors which utilize the ZIRLO cladding material. 10-4-4 Fuel Rod Gas Mixtures Model Basis For the gas mixture in the fuel-clad gap, only the thermal conductivity is calculated. The fill gas in the WCOBRA/TRAC fuel rod model assumes that the gas is a mixture composed of helium, xenon, argon, krypton, hydrogen, and nitrogen. The thermal conductivity of the gas mixture as a function of temperature is determined, as described in MATPRO- 11 Rev. 1 (Hagrman, Reymann, and Mason, 1980), from the relation N k kgas =Y- i=kI N nI_ (10-149) j=1in j*i where N = number of component gases, and where (+. -M.1M-0.142.)

10-5-2 One-Dimensional Component Structural Material Properties Model Basis A library of temperature-dependent material properties is incorporated in WCOBRAiTRAC for the one-dimensional components. There are five sets of material properties that make up the library. Each set supplies values for the density, thermal conductivity, specific heat, and spectral emissivity for use in heat transfer calculations. The material sets are for Types 304, 316, and 347 Stainless Steel, Medium Carbon Steel, and Inconel 600.

Scalin2 Considerations Not applicable. Conclusions The WCOBRAITRAC code uses built-in correlations to calculate the thermal properties of common structural materials modeled by one dimensional components. Comparisons to data show that these correlations provide a good estimate of the properties at low temperature. Since the one-dimensional components generally remain at low temperature during a LOCA transient, use of these correlations introduces only a small uncertainty into the transient calculation. 10-6 Conclusions WCOBRAITRAC routines provide appropriate means for calculation of thermodynamic and transport properties of liquid water, steam, and air for the vessel component and for one-dimensional components. Routines to calculate properties of fuel rod materials, i.e., fuel, cladding, and gap gas, are also included. Properties of structural materials in the vessel component are interpolated from user-provided tables. For one-dimensional components, routines to calculate properties of common structural materials are included. The routines generally calculate properties in the form of equations, for example as functions of temperature and pressure, or by linear interpolation in built-in tables. These property calculations have been compared with standard references and found to agree satisfactorily over the range of conditions expected for PWR LOCA calculations. No scaling uncertainty is required for the use of these models in reactor analysis. 10-7 References ASME Steam Tables, 1968, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2nd Edition.

SECTION 11 SMALL BREAK LOCA-RELATED CAPABILITIES 11-1 Introduction To enable modelling of small break LOCA events in a CSA U methodology, certainfeatures to facilitate WCOBRA/IRAC execution were added. This section describes these features, added to enable pertinentmodel sensitivity studies and to increase modellingflexibilities. In addition, the models and correlationsadded to permit accuratepredictionsof small break LOCA phenomena which have been previously describedare summarized; consult Volume 2 for validation results of the small break LOCA code version, WCOBRAITRAC-SB. 11-2 WCOBRA/TRAC-SBAdditional Features WCOBRA/TRAC Mod7A is the computer code developed by Westinghouse (Bajorek et al., 1998) for the best estimate analysis of large break LOCAs and approved by the NRC stafffor that purpose (Jones, 1996). Some extra features have been added during development of the WCOBRA/ITRAC-SB code version. 11-2-1 FeaturesPreviously Developed The following WCOBRA/ITRAC modificationpreviously introducedto enable modelling of certainAP600 components (Garneret al., 1998) has been placed into the small break code version. Check Valve Option, Type 6 The MOD7A code hasfive control optionsfor the VALVE component. These options are described in Section 9-7. Option 5 is usedfor check valve simulation. For this option, a 4384-non\secl Il.wpd-04303 11-1
specified ramp opens or closes the valve, taking several hundred timesteps. Under certain circumstances, the valve stays partiallyopen and allowsflow in both directions. A Type 6 check valve option has been added to the WCOBRA/TRAC code versionfor small break LOCA analysis. The Type 6 valve is eitherfully opened orfully closed in one timestep. The check valve opens when the pressure gradientacross the valve reaches a user-specifled value and closes when the pressuregradientis less than the specified value, or when reverseflow is detected. 11-2-2 FeaturesIntroducedto Enable ParameterRanging In order to perform response surface and/oruncertainty analyses, parametersimportant to the small break LOCA analysis must be ranged. To facilitate this, thefollowing variablesare introduced into WCOBRA/TRAC-SB; the default value for each is 1.0. 11-2-2-1 Variable "YDRAG" This modification enables the user to apply a multiplier to the vertical interfacialdrag coefficient. This multiplier is applied to the verticalflow regimes. User-suppliedinput allows specificationof multipliersforindividual channels. 11-2-2-2 Variable "XCNDSB" This modification enables the user to apply a multiplierto the interfacialcondensation heat transfercoefficient. User-suppliedinput allows specification of multipliersforindividual channels. 4384-non\sec l.wpd-04303 11-2
11-2-2-3 Variable "XSHASB This modification enables the user to apply a multiplierto the wall condensation heat transfer coefficientfor unheated conductors. User-suppliedinput allows specificationof multipliersfor individual channels. 11-2-3 Multiple Regions in VESSEL Channels As described in the simulations presented in Volumes 2 and 3 of this report, VESSEL channels are used to model almost the entireprimary coolant loop. Because their use is more widespread than in the large break LOCA WCOBRAITRAC model, moreflexibility in specifying channel input is necessary. One of the restrictionsassociatedwith the use of VESSEL channels is that one set of cell height variationsis applied to all channels in a section. To relax this restriction, an update has been implemented into WCOBRAITRAC-SB making multiple sets of cell height variationtables availablefor channels in a section. Figure11-1 shows the primary circuit of the PWR and the approximateelevation of major components, i.e., the pressure vessel, cold and hot legs, steam generator, cross-overpipe and RCP. To model a loop using VESSEL channels, the cell heights in the steam generatorplenum and tubes would previously have been restrictedto the same value as the VESSEL upperplenum nodes. Similarly, the cross-over leg [ Jac Channels are [

must match between the two connecting regions. Regions can also be connected through a gap. In this case, IL) JaC to assist debugging of input. 11-2-4 Hydraulic Cell Level TrackingforHeat Transfer Computations The WCOBRA/TRAC code does not contain an explicit mixture level tracking model. Rather, level tracking is accomplished by nodalization, andprediction of the axial void gradientbetween hydraulic cells. In most regions of the vessel and reactorcoolant system (RCS), nodalization is sufficient to track the mixture level, as the structures do not have a quench front. A detailed tracking of the mixture level is not necessary. In the reactorcore, however, an accurateassessment of the mixture level is vital in the prediction of the peak cladding temperature (PCT). Local voidfractionsfor use in heat transfer IL calculationsare typically linearly interpolatedbetween adjoiningaxial hydrauliccells. The detailed nodalization in the core [ Jac helps to resolve the axial voidfraction gradient. However, the linear interpolationof voidfraction does not allow the location of a sharp interface to be identified. Therefore, WCOBRAITRAC-SB includes logic to detect the possiblepresence of a sharp voidfraction gradientin the vicinity of a quench front. This new logic is used in conjunction with the linearinterpolation logic so that the calculation affects only the hydrauliccell in which the sharp gradientis assumed to occur; it is employed in fuel rod heat transfercomputations. Figure 11-3 shows an example of the linearinterpolationscheme. Continuity cell 'j' is at the boundary [ ac' 4384-non\sec I l.wpd-04303 11-4

If chosen by the user, the calculation of TUn previously describedherein is not performed; Tw, is always calculated to be the homogeneous nucleation temperature, which is generally regardedas the lowest value of T.jnw accordingto Equation 6-97 in this volume. Setting ITMINHN to equal 1 allows a conservative approachto be taken in PWR calculations.
11-2-6 Momentum Transfer at Pipe Elbows When WCOBRAITRA C-SB VESSEL component channels are used to model the loop piping in a PWR, pipe elbows in the hot leg and at the loop seal in the crossover leg (two elbows) are considered in which theflow turnsfrom a horizontal to a vertical direction (or vice-versa). Because the flow velocity is stopped in one direction, then restartedin anotherwith the staggeredmesh used in the WCOBRAITRAC-SB model, inappropriatepressuredrop conditions arepredicted. This situation has been corrected by introducing a VESSEL component momentum scheme for a U-bend region. Figure 11-5 presents the Momentum Cell A case, when a verticalflow turns into a horizontal channel. In this case, the momentum convection is calculatedasfollows: jac 4384-non\sec I l.wpd-04303 11-6

I jac 11-2-7 EnhancedReactivity Insertion Model In a small break LOCA event negative reactivity is introduced into the core both by voiding of thefluid and by the insertion of the control rods. WCOBRAIfRAC-SB has been programmed with the capability to use the internalreactivityfeedback models described in Section 8 together with an input reactivity table. The user can specify a negative reactivity insertion as affunction of time to model the action of the control rods. 11-3 Summary of Identified Improvements Necessary to Model Small Break LOCAs The capability of WCOBRA/TRAC MOD7A to model high ranked small break LOCA processes was assessed. Modelling of thefollowing processes wasjudged to requirenew and/or upgraded capability in the WCOBRAITRAC-SB code version used in small break LOCA analysis: a HorizontalStratifiedFlow Phenomena a Break Flow a Steam GeneratorTube Condensation a Heat Transfer to Uncovered Fuel The models/correlationsimplemented in WCOBRAITRAC-SB for each of these phenomena is identifed in preceding sections of Volume 1. Other modelfeatures which are unique to WCOBRA/ITRAC-SB are also presented. Overall, this volume presents a complete description of the models and correlationscontained in the WCOBRA/TRAC-SB code version. 4384-nonsec I l.wpd-04303 11-8

Dan Spever CORE Former Plate Region The former plate region was added since it contains a potentially significant source of water (about 25 % of that residing in the core) and has small drain holes distributed axial (and radially). The modeling of this volume, as regards the draining and refilling processes, may be of greatest (relative) importance during the period after natural circulation and prior to core recovery. UPPER HEAD Metal Heat Release & Initial Fluid Temperature The upper head metal release and initial fluid temperature were added as these effect when the upper head reaches saturation and (thus) acts as a pressurizer. This has importance in larger breaks (due to core stagnation and reverse flow as it flashes), and may also have greater impact on smaller breaks. For small breaks it can effect the system pressure and thus break flow rate, and thus time to cessation of natural circulation. The upper head temperature is established (at steady state) by the inflow (downcomer-to-upper head and peripheral upper plenum-to-upper head flows), and the outflow (central upper head-to-upper plenum flow); and this temperature in turn establishes when the region will flash. Depending on the degree of complexity/3D modeling in the WCOBRA/TRAC code and IP2 model, the upper head-upper plenum region hydraulics may establish a initial temperature between the TCOLD and THOT. The reasonableness of this temperature (compared to plant data and/or other sources) could be part of the code/model V&V and, if not reasonable, require model "adjustment." Of somewhat lesser importance, but similar in effect, is the modeling of the metal mass heat release which will tend to maintain the upper head temperature, as it flashes and cools. This is potentially effected by CRDM fans, etc. PRESSURIZER InterfacialHeat Transfer & Metal Heat Release The metal heat release and interphase heat transfer were added. Although of lesser importance than for pressurizer insurge (increasing pressure) transients, the pressurizer heat transfer model is of greater importance for the slower small break transients, than for large break LOCA in which the pressurizer steam space is essentially subject to an adiabatic expansion. This pressurizer heat transfer includes both the liquid-steam interface and metal-to-liq-uid/steam heat transfer. These will effect the RCS pressure and thus will effect the blowdown phase break flow. 4384-non\secl 1.wpd-04303 A-5
STEAM GENERATOR ADV/SRV Mass Flow & Energy Release (Equipment Available/Operator Action Considerations) The operator actions on AFW (and equipment available) were added as they can effect the small break LOCA and because the emergency operating procedures (EOPs) also include directions for operator actions on SG level. The assumptions as regards M/D and S/D (motor and steam driven) AFW pumps included the number of pumps, and presumably 2 M/D and 1 S/D pump is best estimate, and operator actions to control SG level. The other assumption on equip-ment relates to the SG relief valves, and the best estimate condition would presumably be relief valve available. The latter (SG relief valves) would have an effect on the SG pressure, and thus the RCS pressure and break flow from approximately end of blowdown to loop seal clearing. The assumptions on AFW flow also may effect the results, e.g., the effect on SG fluid temperature, etc. PUMP Pumps ON/OFFwas an area in which the post TMI Westinghouse Owners Group (WOG) analyses established (and NRC accepted), as I recall, about 2 minute operator action. These results, from the time period 1980 to 1982, may be different than current assumptions ( Is best estimate about 2 minutes?). Running the pumps longer maintains a liquid or two-phase mixture at the break, and (thus) when punps are tripped the subsequent core uncovery can be severe; but, on the other hand, other transients are significantly benefitted by RCPs ON--notably SGTR, in which RCP(s) ON allow use of normal PZR spray, which is a significant help for operators to rapidly terminate the SG filling, and lessen likelihood of filling steam lines with water. Is there a possibility that using WCOBRA/TRAC could allow loss of RCPs at longer times and still yield acceptable results? If this were the case (and credit could be taken by allowing RCPs to operate) what would be the RCP trip criteria, and would the calculation of the 95th percentile PCT value be a problem in this case, as it would also consider the mean and variance for operator action times? ACCUMULATOR InterfacialHeat Transfer & Metal Heat Release Although the accumulators are probably of lesser importance, these and other areas (such as pressurizer discussed above) are subject to essentially adiabatic expansion in large LOCAs, where the 4384-non\sccl 1.wpd-04303 A-6
transient time is small; but small LOCAs occur over considerably longer duration and heat transfer is more important. Specifically, where the two phases are a non-condensing gas and subcooled water (as in accumulators) how realistic is the code? Perhaps control model(s) are, or can, be used to describe the differential equation for gas pressure--both for the adiabatic case, and with heat transfer. (I have developed such an approach for RETRAN, but never actually implemented it!) 4384-non\secl 1.wpd-04303 A-7
Yassin Hassan CORE Heat Transfer Patterns can be organized in the order as they are experienced during the accident scenario. It should start with single-phase flow. It is followed by nucleate boiling heat transfer and so on. Then, plant responses are listed. As an example, the table can be listed in this order: Heat Transfer to covered Core. DNB Post-CHF Heat Transfer Radiation Heat Transfer Entraimnent/De-Entrainment Rwet/Tn Mixture Level (This is a plant response) Etc. STEAM GENERATOR PrimarySide Heat Transfer BLD Period During the blowdown period, the tube heat transfer from the primary to the secondary system is important and is ranked high (H). It represents the main mechanism by which the core power is removed from the core. The accurate estimation of this convection heat transfer is important. LSC Period The primary side heat transfer can be divided into two subdivisions: heat transfer and condensation heat transfer. Or, the brackets (condensation) can be omitted. Secondary Side Heat Transfer The secondary side heat transfer is ranked Medium during blowdown and natural circulation periods. The secondary side is a heat sink during these periods. The direction of heat transfer reverses (i.e., secondary-to-primary) following loop seal clearance. Consequently, low ranking is assigned for boiloff and recovery periods. PUMP Mixing Pump mixing is ranked Medium' during the blowdown period. This is due to turbulence induced by flow through reactor coolant impellers following pump coastdown. This influence is limited by the short duration of the coastdown. 4384-non\secl l.wpd-04303 A-8
BREAK Critical Flow in Complex Geometries Break mass flow is ranked High. Choking in complex geometries is also ranked High. Due to the difficulty of estimating the break flow, it is recommended to perform a sensitivity study with bounding calculations. Several parameters should be tested and varied as:
- Flow resistance - Upstream flow conditions - Break quality - Spectrum of flow locations - Various critical flow models.
The sensitivity calculations may reduce the ranking during certain phases. 4384-non\secl l.wpd-04303 A-9
Peter Griffith CORE Rewetl T, It would appear that T..,h should be added to this item. However, for the small break LOCA of concern, the process in which T,UC,-h appears is never expected to arise. For quenching a fuel rod from below the rewet temperature or T. ,D are sufficient. Inverted annular flow uses the rewet temperature while dispersed flow film boiling the TnD. T,,C is appropriate for rewetting from above. This never occurs during this transient as the core cannot overheat as long as there water in the upper plenum and there isn't any at this point in the transient. The core always rewets from below in this transient. STEAM GENERATOR Primary side two-phase P The key to allowing the liquid in the core to come to the same level as in the downcommer is to clear at least one of the loop seals. This can only happen when the pressure drop in the steam generators is small enough. A large part of this pressure drop is due to gravity so it is very important to get the pressure in the risers of the steam generators correct. For this reason primary side two phase
*P is rated High for the loop seal clearing part of the transient.
COLD LEG Water Hammer This concern is rated low for this transient because its effect on the average flows and temperatures into and out of the cold leg are low and fleeting. A condensation induced water hammer occurs over in a small fraction of a second and does not reoccur (if it ever does) for a relatively long time afterwards. To explore the possible consequences of a condensation induced water hammer would entail altering the scenario for this transient. This is beyond the scope of this review. 4384-non\secl I .wpd-04303 A-10
Tom Fernandez FUEL ROD Decay Heat refers to the decay heat model and its uncertainties (range and distribution type) used for the fuel rods. This affects the local heat generation rate for all fuel rods throughout the core, including the hot rod and PCT location. The decay heat model and associated uncertainties are well defined in the 1979 ANS Stand for Decay Heat, independent of other phenomena discussed under Local Power. Decay heat is a primary driver for fuel rod thermal response. Therefore, it is considered an important effect throughout the accident, and is assigned a high (H) ranking for all periods. Local Power (Local Peaking & Relocation) phenomena refer to the axial power shape, linear heat generation rate (especially the Peak LHGR), and potential fuel relocation after accident initiation. The modeling techniques and uncertainties are considered to be distinctly different from decay heat. The first two phenomena affect the initial power distribution in the hot assembly, hot rod, and PCT location. During the accident, the axial power shape affects the mixture level in the two-phase region, and the vapor superheat in the deficient cooling region. The PLHGR affects the magnitude of the PCT. These two phenomena are considered to have medium (M) importance during the Blowdown, Natural Circulation and Loop Seal Clearing periods when the core is generally well cooled for long periods. They are considered to have (H) importance during the Boiloff and Recovery periods when higher peak clad temperature, including the PCT occur. Relocation refers to the potential for fuel to relocate inside the cladding toward the rupture zone after accident initiation. This is considered to be unlikely for SBLOCA conditions since even if cladding rupture occurs, the local cladding strain is expected to be relatively small, asymmetrical, and localized ("warts"). CORE 3D Power Distribution referee to the combined radial and axial -power distribution in the core. First, this affects the initial stored energy in the fuel roads and core internal structures. This alone is expected to have low (L) importance during the Blowdown and Natural Circulation periods for SBLOCAs; however it is considered to have medium importance for IBLOCAs (0.1 At
- 1.0 ftZ where core recovery may occur sooner. Thus, it is ranked a L for these periods to indicate the rank (*)
depends on the scenario. Second, this increasingly affects the core internal 3D circulation, two-phase level, and vapor superheat as the accident progresses through the Loop Seal Clearing, Boiloff, and Recovery periods. Therefore, it is ranked medium (M) during the LSC and High (H) during BO and REC phases. 4384-non\secl l.wpd-04303 A-1lI
Top Nozzle/Tie Plate CCFL refers to the Counter Current Flow Limitation (Liquid down flow limited by vapor upflow) than occur at the top of the core during two-phase conditions. This affects the ability of Liquid to drain gravity back down into the core region to retain a well cooled core as RPV inventory is depleted through the break. This is considered to have low (L) importance during SBLOCA Blowdown and medium (M) importance during the subsequent SBLOCA periods as tow-phase flow conditions and core uncovery become more manifest. It is expected to become more important during the BLD, NC and LSC periods for IBLOCAs since two-phase conditions and core uncovery will occur sooner. Therefore it is ranked L and M' for BLD, NC and LSC periods. UPPER PLENlM Hot Leg-Downcomer Gaps refer to the leakage paths that exist between the hot leg nozzles and upper downcomer region during all operating modes. Physically these represent the small residual radial gaps between the core barrel hot leg nozzle tips and the reactor vessel hot leg nozzle inner surfaces. Their presence, by design, allows the upper plenum shroud/core barrel to be installed and removed. These gaps exist even after differential thermal expansion of the core barrel, relative to the RPV, has occurred at rated operating conditions. These gaps can account for on the order of 1% leakage flow directly the upper downcomer to the hot legs during normal operation. These gaps open up as the reactor is shut down and brought to cold conditions. The radial gap is on the order of 0.1 inch for cold conditions, and about 0.01 to 0.02 inches for hot operating conditions. The hot leg circumference is about 94 inches (w times 30 inches) for each leg. The leakage associated with these gaps can occur during all accident periods; the leakage direction is controlled by the pressure difference between the upper downcomer and inner region of the hot leg nozzles. These leakage paths are expected have a small affect (L) during Blowdown when the system and core flow rates are dominated by other stronger forces (RCP, SG heat sink, break). They are considered to have medium importance during the Natural Circulation periods (as small sneak circuits) that short circuit flow otherwise headed to the core region. They are expected to have High (H) importance during the Loop Seal Clearing period when they provide alternative paths from the upper plenum to the break location to vent some hot core fluid enthalpy and relive some two-phase level depression. Thereafter, they are considered to have increasingly diminished importance of medium (M) during the Boiloff and low (L) during the Recovery periods. 4384-non\secl .wpd-04303 A-12

o\4384-non\Vol2-frmLwpd:lb-04033 ii ABSTRACT The document "Code Qualification Document for Best Estimate Loss of Coolant Accident Analysis" (WCAP-12945-P-A) discussed the WCOBRA/TRAC computer code and the methodology used to determine the 95 percentile peak cladding temperature (PCT) for a large break loss of coolant accident (LOCA) scenario. Westinghouse has reviewed the large break code and methodology to determine if the same principles could be adapted to reliably predict the processes that occur in a small break LOCA lasting from several hundred to several thousand seconds. This document, "Code Qualification Document for Best Estimate Small Break LOCA Analysis," (WCAP-14936), describes the WCOBRAITRAC small break LOCA code version, the code validation performed and a methodology to determine the 95' percentile PCT for small break LOCA transients. Volume 1 describes the features, models and correlations contained in the small break LOCA version of the WCOBRAITRAC computer code. First, the small break processes considered to have the greatest effect during a small LOCA event are identified and ranked in the phenomena identification and ranking table (PIRT). The sufficiency of the large break WCOBRAITRAC models and correlations for small LOCA analysis is then evaluated. A comprehensive presentation of the WCOBRAITRAC-SB models and correlations follows. Volume 2 documents simulations of a large number of separate and integral effects tests using this small break version of the code. The simulations provide, at different scales, predicted transients in which all of the important processes are compared with experimental data. The information obtained from the simulations is used to assess errors within the code. The test simulations and subsequent comparison to experimental data determine the bias and uncertainty of major model packages as they apply to small break LOCA thermal-hydraulic conditions. Volume 3 reviews the operator actions pertinent to a small break loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) event using Indian Point Unit 2, a four-loop pressurized water reactor (PWR), as the reference. Sources of uncertainty in the plant condition and the limiting accident analysis assumptions are identified. The effects of various assumptions on small break LOCA transient behavior are investigated through numerous calculations using ECOBRAfIRAC-SB. The calculations examine the sensitivity of the results to the break size, location, orientation, and offsite power availability. o:\4384-non\vol2-frmtwpd:lb04O33 ill
I Volume 4 presents calculations that are performed to determine the sensitivity of results to the plant core power distribution, the initial and boundary conditions, and code modelling assumptions. These studies, in which parameters are varied one at a time, are performed for Indian Point Unit 2 to quantify the sensitivity of plant behavior to changes in plant initial conditions and accident modelling. An uncertainty methodology consistent with the application of the Code Scaling, Applicability, and Uncertainty (CSAU) methodology is identified to define the overall plant analysis uncertainty and is applied to determine the 95' percentile PCT for the Indian Point Unit 2 small break LOCA analysis. Volume 4 also demonstrates the compliance of the Westinghouse best estimate large break LOCA methodology with U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Regulatory Guide 1.157 and with 10CFR50.46. o\4384-non\Vol2-fmnt.wpd:lb-04033 iV

SECTION 12 CORE HEAT TRANSFER DURING A SMALL BREAK LOCA 12-1 Introduction The small break LOCA transient is characterized by the draining of the initial Reactor Coolant System (RCS) inventory to the break location. Five distinct periods have been identified during a small break LOCA event: blowdown, natural circulation, loop seal clearance, boiloff, and core recovery. The duration of each period is break-size dependent. Each small break LOCA period is described in the detailed discussion of the small break LOCA PIRT (Volume 1, Section 1-4, of this document). In Westinghouse-designed pressurized water reactors (PWRs), core uncovery and fuel rod heatup occur in the boiloff period and termiinate in the recovery period. During the boiloff period, the vessel mixture level reaches a minimum value as the liquid inventory gradually boils away. If this two-phase mixture level is low enough, core uncovery occurs. The recovery phase begins when the RCS is depressurized to the point where boiloff is exceeded by the delivery of safety injection to the vessel. The fuel rod heatup transient is terminated once the entire core is quenched and the safety injection flow from the safety injection pumps and/or accumulators exceeds the break flow. The core flowrates during the fuel rod heatup period of a small break LOCA are lower than those associated with large break LOCAs. In general, the core flowrates in all phases of the large break LOCA are large enough for the convective flow to be turbulent. This is not always the case during a small break LOCA. For example, in a 3-inch cold leg break analysis of Indian Point Unit 2, similar to the case reported in Section 27 in Volume 3 of this document, the steam flow in the hot assembly at the time of PCT is less than 1 lbm/s; the Reynolds number (Re) based on film temperature is below the value for fully developed turbulent flow (Re = 10,000) throughout virtually all of the core uncovery transient, and it falls below 3000 near the time of minimum inventory. Moreover, for such low Re steam flows, the steam velocity is not sufficient to cause significant entrainment of droplets. For the 3-inch break case at Indian Point Unit 2, the entrained field flow is nonexistent for the core uncovery transient. In general, the small break LOCA transients show steam flow only above the mixture level for the smaller break sizes. At larger break sizes (8-inch break and greater), an entrained field is predicted, but the steam Re in o.M4384-non/sec12.wpd: b-04033 12-1
I the hot assembly for a 10-inch break transient for Indian Point Unit 2 is approximately 10,000 for much of the time that the core is uncovered. 12-2 Physical Processes During the boiloff period, the fuel rods above the core mixture level are cooled by steam flowing (with or without entrained droplets) at a low rate. Review of the Indian Point Unit 2 cases emphasizes the importance of having heat transfer models that are valid for the laniinar-turbulent transition range of Re, defined as [ ]" in this work. Therefore, the important physical processes are those associated with heat transfer in the single-phase vapor (SPV) and dispersed droplet regimes. In WCOBRA/TRAC modelling in the best estimate small break LOCA version of the code, validation is needed that the code provides reasonable predictions of the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) in low Re steam flows, with and without droplets, at high pressure conditions typical of the boiloff period in a small break LOCA. The important physical processes in predicting heat transfer involving low Re flows, consisting of either SPV or a high quality [ P.C dispersed droplet flow, are as follows:
- Convective HTC in the laminar-turbulent transition range dependence on the steam Re
- Drop-wall contact heat flux in the dispersed flow film boiling (DFFB) regime dependence on Re In the large break LOCA scenario, drop-wall contact depends solely on properties, local void fraction, and wall superheat because the effectiveness of drop-wall contact is comparable regardless of the mass flux. However, the drop-wall contact heat flux decreases to zero if the flow becomes laminar.
- Wall-to-steam thermal radiation in the DFFB and the SPV regimes
- Void fraction gradient defining a mixture level The hydraulics and the fluid condition at a sharp void fraction gradient differ markedly between the mixture and vapor phases.

12-3 WCOBRA/TRAC-SB Heat Transfer Model The WCOBRA/TRAC heat transfer regime map presented as Figure 6-3 in Volume I of this document is repeated here as Figure 12-1 for ease of reference. Section 6 of this document provides the details of the models and correlations of the WCOBRAITRAC-SB heat transfer package; some of the Section 6 equations are included in the discussion that follows. 12-3-1 Convective Heat Transfer The SPV regime HTC is selected from among four correlations: Dittus-Boelter (Dittus and Boelter, 1930), Wong-Hochreiter (Wong and Hochreiter, 1981), laminar flow heat transfer (Nu = 10), and turbulent natural convection. The SPV HTC is used when the void fraction is The wall HTC h is selected according to: [a The wall HTC h,,sPv is selected according to:[ Ia.c I Ia.c In the SPV regime, liquid phase HTCs are set to zero: hWlAPV= 0 hwb,sPv 0 o:\4384-non/secl2.wpd:Ib-04033 12-3
I The selection logic ensures a smooth and continuous transition in HTC from low Re (laminar N. flow) to high Re (turbulent). In ensuring that correlations are used within the range of Re that is appropriate for each, the convective HTC for vapor is calculated as: h FC = (1 - RHTCV)hwvlow RHTCVh.,high (6-2-7) where, RHTCV acts to linearly ramp the HTC in the laminar-turbulent transition regime. This term is calculated as: [
]a,c (6-2-8)
The low and high Re convective HTCs are selected as: h Z = maximum { (if Re < []ac) (6-2-9) and hwvhigh = maximum {h (6-2-10) Thus, if Rev < [ ]", the maximum of the HTC from a constant Nusselt number (Nu = 10) and turbulent natural convection is selected. For Re [ a.c, the maximum of the Dittus-Boelter and Wong-Hochreiter correlations is used. (The Wong-Hochreiter predicts a larger value up to Re = 25,000.) o:\4384-non/secl 2.wpd: b-04033 12-4
This selection logic retains the possibility of natural convection if flows are appropriately low (Regulatory Guide 1.157, 1989) and prohibits the use of turbulent flow correlations at Re below their validity. 12-3-2 Drop-Wall Contact The direct contact heat transfer for the dispersed droplet field is calculated using a model originally proposed by Forslund and Rohsenow (Forslund and Rohsenow, 1968) with modifications suggested by Bajorek and Young (Bajorek and Young, 1998) to improve performance at low Re. The direct wall contact term hdC,h is discussed in Section 6-2-8 of this document. 12-3-3 Radiation From Wall to Vapor The SPV heat transfer includes the thermal radiation from wall to steam. Thermal radiation occurs at void fractions up to 1.0. The SPV HTC is calculated as: hwvSPv = F,y,dF wc + hrwv (6-2-11) where the radiation HTC from the wall to vapor is calculated by Equation 6-156 in Section 6 of this document. The grid enhancement term Fg,id applies only to the convective term. Likewise, the two-phase enhancement multiplier should not be applied to the thermal radiation term in the DFEB regime. Therefore, F 2, is restricted to the convective term and is not applied to the radiation term. oA\4384-nonlsecl2.wpd:Ib-04033 12-5
I The HTCs for the DFFB regime are calculated as follows: hwvDFFB = FgZi 2#h'FC + hrw (6-2-15) hw4DFFB = hwe (6-131) hwb,DFFB = hdc, (6-132)
- where, h,,,Fc is the convective HTC as described in subsection 12-3-1 h,w, is given by Equation 6-156 h.e is given by Equation 6-157 hd,, is given by Equation 6-2-14 The two-phase enhancement term (F2 ,,) is calculated by Equation 6-125 and is limited to values within the range 1.0 < F2 9,< [
]a.c 12-34 Mixture Level Sharpening In a core uncovery situation during the boiloff period of a small break LOCA event, fuel rod heat transfer is orders of magnitude less in the SPV and/or DFFB regimes which prevail above the nixture level elevation than in the nucleate boiling regime which exists in the two-phase mixture region. Thus, for the calculation of fuel rod heatup, it is imperative that the mixture level interface be accurately defined. Section 11-2-4 of this document describes in detail the WCOBRAfTRAC-SB level sharpener coding.
The level sharpening logic is applied to void fractions from COBRA channel cells; it initially assumes that no sharp level exists. The parameter ISHARP is an indicator of where the mixture level is located. The void gradient is defined as being sharp when [ Ia.c If a sharp gradient is detected in the bottom half of the cell, ISHARP is set to 1; if the sharp gradient is in the top half of the cell, the value of ISHARP is set to 2. The upper and lower lirnits of the void gradient search are [ ]ac respectively. [ Ia'c corresponds to the void fraction for transition between the oA4384non/sec2wpd:1b04033 12-6
inverted annular dispersed flow (IADF) and DFFB heat transfer regimes. Thus, when ISHARP = 1, the physical picture of the cell is one in which a transition from inverted annular film boiling (IAFB) occurs in the bottom half of the cell and the transition from IADF to DFFB is at the top edge. Likewise, [ ]6 corresponds to the transition from inverted annular film boiling (IAFB) to IADF. The coding of the level sharpener logic has been verified via a series of standalone calculations, which assume a uniform cell height. 12-4 Assessment of WCOBRAITRAC-SB Heat Transfer Model for Small Break LOCA Application A driver-plotter progran (COBRAHT), similar to that used in large break LOCA heat transfer assessment, was used to examine the performance of WCOBRAfIRAC-SB in the SPV and DFFB regimes important to small break LOCA PCT deternination and to determine the bias and uncertainty of these models. In COBRAHT, convective heat transfer correlations are selected per the Re dependence. In testing the performance, HTCs predicted from the WCOBRAflRAC heat transfer package were compared to experimental test data. The test data for comparison contained a complete set of local measurements so that the HTC could be assessed without uncertainty due to compensating error. The HTC calculation in COBRAHT can be altered to perform assessments and investigate sensitivities. Figure 12-2 provides pictorially the calculational procedure used with COBRAHT. The local conditions for each (steady-state) test-wall temperature, vapor temperature, quality, pressure, and total mass flux were used as input to the driver-plotter routine. This driver-plotter routine consisted of the WCOBRAIRAC-SB heat transfer package, property routines, and drop size correlations. The input hydraulic conditions were used to estimate the film boiling HTCs (based on XT = T,,,-T,,), which were then compared to the measured HTCs for each test. The driver-plotter routine calculates an overall HTC in terms of the local heat flux and wall superheat, defined as: h q-(T. T) o-4384-nonlsecI2.wpd:b-04033 12-7
I The SPV and/or DFFB HTCs are then compared with the HTC values reported by the experimenters to validate the performance of WCOBRAJrRAC-SB. One of the problems in quantifying the accuracy of heat transfer relations in a large thermal-hydraulic systems code such as WCOBRA/TRAC is that few experimental tests provide a sufficient amount of simultaneous local information on void fraction, phasic flowrates, and phase temperatures. While modelling an entire separate effects test facility and simulating experiments can provide useful information on overall code performance, the predicted results are subject to compensating errors. That is, inaccuracies in one model package can compensate for the inaccuracies in another package producing a fortuitously correct result. An example is an accurate prediction of wall heat flux when HTCs are underpredicted, while (TW-T,) was overpredicted because of errors in the hydraulics package. If sufficient local information is available, it is possible to separate the calculation of the HTCs from the calculation of the fluid conditions and provide an assessment of the heat transfer prediction alone. 12-4-1 ORNL-THTF DFEB Test Simulations The Oak Ridge National Laboratory Thermal Hydraulic Test Facility (ORNL-THTF) blowdown tests are one source of data for validating the heat transfer predictions of WCOBRA/TRAC-SB in the DFFB/SPV regimes of interest for small break LOCA. A series of high-pressure steady-state upward DFFB tests in a rod bundle was performed in the ORNL-THTF and is discussed by Yoder (Yoder, et al., 1982). Tests were conducted for pressures ranging from 23 bar (635 psia) to 132 bar (1908 psia) at flowrates from 226 kgm 2 -s (166,300 lbm/ft 2 -hr) to 713 kg/m2 -s (525,300 lbm/ft2 -hr). The test section was composed of 64 full-length (3.66 m) rods in an 8x8 bundle geometry typical of PWR designs. A cross section of the ORNL-THTF bundle is shown in Figure 12-3. Sixty of the rods were electrically heated fuel rod simulators (that is, heated rods) with flat axial and radial power distributions. One rod (rod 32) failed to function properly during certain tests (B, C, D, and E). Four of the other rods (rods 19, 22, 36, and 46) were inactive (unheated rods). Six spacer grids were evenly spaced along the bundle. Because the axial power shape in the bundle was uniform, critical heat flux (CHF) occurred at the bundle exit first, then moved down the bundle. There were two fluid flow and temperature measurement sites at both the bottom and top ends of the test section. The heated rod surface temperatures were measured by the thermocouples at 30 axial levels and different circumferential locations. Some of the thermocouples were installed to measure the in-bundle fluid temperature. Local information was provided at the bundle exit, oA4384-nonlsecl2.wpd:Ib-G4033 12-8
which was designated "Level G." During steady-state operation of the ORNL-THTF, the inlet flow at the bottom of the test section was established and the loop was adjusted to provide the desired inlet fluid temperature and inlet quality. The bundle power was then increased until the dryout (CHF) point was obtained. The steady-state point was assumed to be reached when both pressure and rod surface temperatures stabilized. The results of both rod surface conditions and local equilibrium fluid conditions were then reported as cross-sectional average values for each level. Table 12-1 lists the thermal-hydraulic conditions of the 10 selected ORNL-THTF steady-state film boiling tests used to evaluate the WCOBRAITRAC-SB heat transfer package. An initial assessment was performed with a version of COBRAHT that used the Forslund and Rohsenow (Forslund and Rohsenow, 1968) drop-wall DFFB contact model used in the large break LOCA version of WCOBRA/TRAC (Bajorek, et al., 1998) in place of the modified correlation of Equation 6-133. Comparisons between predicted and experimental HTC values for the ORNL-THTF simulations are shown in Table 12-2 for this version of COBRAHT. The measured local heat flux and wall surface temperature were reported for each thermocouple at different levels for individual rods and as a cross-sectional average value of all thermocouples at each level. In this validation, the HTC data at Level G are used for comparisons to determine the spread of the data relative to the prediction. This level is at 143 inches above the beginning of the heated length, and 1 inch below the top of the active bundle. Each test was screened for HTC "outliers." Figure 12-4 shows a comparison of the predicted and average measured HTCs for the ORNL-THTF DFFB tests. For each test, the COBRAHT film boiling calculation based on the large break LOCA code version underpredicted the bundle average experimental HTC. Figure 12-5 also compares the predicted and measured HTCs, but in this figure, all 235 valid thermocouples are shown. On average, the experimental HTCs are underpredicted by 21.7 percent. This bias in the predicted heat transfer led to the work performed by Bajorek and Young (Bajorek and Young, 1998). 12-4-2 INEL Single Tube Heat Transfer Experiments The COBRAHT version with Forslund and Rohsenow (Forslund and Rohsenow, 1968) driver-pIotter predictions of the ORNL-THTF film boiling data show that the heat transfer package tends to underpredict experimental data. Increasing the direct contact heat transfer improves the predictions, but simply increasing this term according to Equation 6-133 may cause the heat transfer package to overpredict the HTCs for a different range of thermal-hydraulic conditions. o.\4384-nonfsec12.wpd:1b-04033 12-9
Therefore, in validating the WCOBRA/TRAC-SB heat transfer modelling for the small break LOCA regimes of importance (SPV and DFFB), an additional experiment that provides film boiling data, the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) single tube test, was also simulated. Post-CH film boiling tests were performed at INEL and are reported by Gottula (Gottula, et al., 1985). Steady-state film boiling tests were conducted in a 15.7-mm inside diameter vertical tube for water flowing upward. The experiments included tests at pressures up to 7 Mpa at mass fluxes ranging from 12 to 70 kgm 2 -s. The test section inlet quality ranged from apprQximately 7 to 47 percent. Steam temperature, and thus the thermal nonequilibrium, was measured using differentially aspirated microthermocouple probes located at various axial positions. Data points for the COBRAHT driver-plotter were selected at four different pressures: 7.0, 3.6, 0.5, and 0.3 Mpa. Of the tests conducted, information for 198 points was available which provided local conditions for pressure, mass flow, quality, and steam temperature at the tube exit. For the INEL film boiling test simulations, a version of COBRAHT containing the WCOBRAITRAC-SB code SPV and DFFB heat transfer package with the drop-wall contact term (per Equation 6-133), was used. Figure 12-6 shows a comparison of predicted HTCs for the INEL film boiling tests using the COBRAHT version containing the heat transfer models in the small break LOCA version of WCOBRA/TRAC. In this comparison, the positive values are underpredictions of the HTC; the negative values are overpredictions. The good agreement indicates the effectiveness of the Re-dependence in the convective and drop-wall contact heat transfer terms in predicting SPV and DFFB heat transfer. Figure 12-7 shows a comparison of COBRAHT results using the WCOBRAITRAC-SB heat transfer model for both the ORNL DFFB and the INEL data. In this comparison, average bias in the HTC is small, with the predicted HTC for all data shown underpredicting the measured HTC by approximately 5 percent. The heat transfer multiplier E is defined as E. = ,, hqi e code where l o:\4384non/sec12.wpd:1b04033 12-10
q," e,p is the experimental heat flux at elevation i code is the predicted heat flux at elevation i in order to ascertain the predictive capability of the WCOBRAflRAC-SB computer code. For each of these tests, the minimum and maximum values of E for any individual data point were determined, as were the average value and the standard deviation of the distribution for the experimental facility simulation results as a whole. For the ORNL DFFB tests, the values are: E =0859, E=,,,l1.332, and Eave=1.031 with standard deviation a=0.09. For the INEL experiment, Emi,n0.571, E,,1.886, and Eave=1.065 with a0.29. 12-4-3 ORNL Uncovered Bundle Heat Transfer Test Simulators A series of experiments investigating small break LOCA phenomena were performed in the ORNL-THTF high pressure rod bundle thermal-hydraulics loop, as reported in NUREG/CR-2456 (Anklam, et al., 1982). The test facility and the WCOBRAITRAC-SB representation of it are described in more detail in subsection 15-4-2 of this report. The ORNL-THTF series of uncovered bundle heat transfer tests provide another set of heat transfer data for small break LOCA model validation. The six uncovered bundle tests (I through N) were simulated with WCOBRAfTRAC-SB. The uncovered bundle tests were steady-state experiments with electrically heated rods in which the inlet liquid mass flow was approximately equal to exiting steam mass flow. Rod temperatures and heat transfer coefficients in the stean-cooling region of the rod bundle were determined. Once the steady-state condition was established, thermal and hydrodynamic data were collected at several heights in the uncovered portion of the rod bundle. Table 12-3 summarizes the steady-state test conditions in terms of system pressure, linear rod power, and inlet mass flux. The tests were characterized by low (580-650 psia) or high (1010-1090 psia) pressure, and low (0.10 and 0.14 kW/ft), medium (0.31 and 0.33 kW/ft), or high (0.66 and 0.68 kW/ft) linear power. The WCOBRAfrRAC-SB model described in Section 15 was used for these ORNL test simulations, using an appropriate value of the interfacial drag multiplier (YDRAG). This multiplier adjusts the interfacial shear calculated between rising bubbles and liquid, and its use allows the separation of WCOBRA/RAC-SB's heat transfer and hydrodynamic packages. Values of YDRAG to alter WCOBRAITRAC-SB's two-phase level to better match the experimental two-phase level were used in the WCOBRAITRAC-SB input decks that simulated oM384-nonlsecI2.wpd:Ib-04033 12-1 1
I these tests. With this approach the difference between the predicted heat transfer and the data can be attributed to the WCOBRAITRAC-SB heat transfer models alone. Overall, rod temperatures were under-predicted for the uncovered bundle tests, while vapor temperatures were slightly over-predicted. WCOBRA/TRAC-SB vapor heat transfer coefficients were generally greater than the experimental values. With all 10 ORNL-THTF experimental levels included (the top 2' of the rod bundle), the average ratio of experimental to WCOBRA/TRAC-SB vapor heat transfer coefficients (Ei) was 0.7769, with a standard deviation of 0.18 (see Figure 12-8). The E. and En,, values are 1.314 and 0.452, respectively. The ORNL uncovered bundle data are in the same Reynolds number range and exhibit heat transfer coefficients of similar magnitude to the INEL test data. There appears to be a wide range on the WCOBRA/TRAC-SB heat transfer multipliers for these datasets, from 0.452 to 1.886, or over a factor of 4. However, this is not surprising. As noted by Anklam (Anklam et al., 1982), the flow regimes present in these tests can vary between forced, mixed and free convection. This uncertainty about flow regime means that a significant range of results may be expected to occur in the WCOBRAIRAC-SB predictions of the ORNL-THTF uncovered bundle tests. Anklam further notes that convective heat transfer under the high pressure uncovered bundle conditions can be very complex because of the number of possible flow regimes and flow transitions that may occur. 12-5 Summary and Conclusions The WCOBRAfrRAC-SB heat transfer modelling of the SPV and DFFB regimes important to small break LOCA analysis has been assessed. The effect of using the drop-wall contact expression of Bajorek and Young (Bajorek and Young, 1998) in place of that of Forslund and Rohsenow (Forslund and Rohsenow, 1968) is shown to markedly improve predictions of the ORNL film boiling tests. The implementation of the Bajorek and Young drop-wall contact term and a Re-dependent laminar/turbulent flow transition convective heat transfer term has allowed the WCOBRAITRAC-SB heat transfer package to predict the ORNL DFFB and uncovered bundle tests and INEL film boiling test data well. The statistical treatment of core heat transfer in the Westinghouse uncertainty methodology is based on these results as described in Volume 4 of this document.

SECTION 13 ASSESSMENT OF BREAK FLOW MODEL 13-1 Introduction During a small break LOCA, the break flowrate determines the depressurization rate as well as the mass inventory of the primary system of a PWR. These parameters in turn influence the timing of various engineered safeguard system responses, such as reactor trip and safety injection. Early in a small break LOCA, the fluid condition upstream of the break location is subcooled. This results in a high discharge flowrate and a fast depressurization. As the pressure drops to the saturation pressure corresponding to the coolant liquid temperature upstream of the break, the discharge becomes two-phase and a relatively low discharge rate and a slow depressurization result. As the system mass depletes and the flow in the main pipe stratifies, the break location (typically a branch pipe) begins to uncover. This results in the void fraction upstream of the break changing from 0.0 (saturated liquid) to 1.0 (saturated vapor) as the liquid level in the main pipe drops. As the stratified surface lowers in the vicinity of the break, the quality at the break is greatly influenced by the entrainment of vapor/liquid off the stratified surface upstream of the break. Although the size, location, and shape of the break are not known for the postulated small break LOCA, the best estimate code needs to predict consistent responses relative to experimental data over a range of pressure, subcooling, and upstream fluid states, as well as the break flow area variations, so that accurate sensitivity to small break LOCA responses can be obtained. In this section, an assessment is made of the break flow model in the WCOBRAJTRAC-SB version described in Section 3, Volume 1, of this document. This version was created for the small break LOCA application from the WCOBRAtRAC-MOD7A, Rev. 4. 13-2 Critical Flow in Small Break LOCA A fluid system contained in a reactor vessel with a pipe break is in communication with the containment atmosphere, which is at a lower pressure through the break flow path. Under critical flow conditions, the discharge flowrate from the high pressure system becomes independent of the containment conditions, which are at the lower pressure. o-W384-non4384-13.wpd:1b-4303 13-1
ff lI WESTINGHOUSE PROPRIETARY CLASS 2 13-2-1 Subcooled Liquid Discharge Early in a small break LOCA, the fluid condition upstream of the break is subcooled. As the fluid accelerates through the path leading to the break, the static pressure decreases and the liquid flashes at the throat as seen in Figure 13-2-1. In subcooled liquid discharge, the degree of subcooling thus greatly influences the break flowrate. At the onset of a small break LOCA, Ps: (T,) is substantially lower than the primary system pressure. This results in a relatively high break flow. As the system depressurizes, the liquid subcooling decreases and the break flow lowers accordingly. Even slightly subcooled liquid going through a sudden depressurization does not flash at P.,, (T,) due to the underpressure at flashing inception (or nucleation delay). As a result, the throat pressure is lower than P,,,, (T,) and the break flow is still higher than the two-phase break flowrate. The nucleation delay (or nonequilibrium effect) dominates the break flowrate for the subcooled liquid in a geometry in which the fluid accelerates into a short flow path to an opening. The fluid going through a rapid expansion is not able to flash instantaneously; it remains as superheated liquid until at or near the throat, where the static pressure becomes lower than the underpressure required for the nucleation and the fluid becomes two-phase. 13-2-2 Stratified Entrainment at Break As the system mass depletes, the break location becomes two-phase and eventually becomes stratified following an RCP trip. The two-phase break flowrate is a strong function of the upstream quality. Stratified flow conditions near the break may lead to vapor and liquid entrainment into the break path. The entrainment amount depends on the velocity of the fluid near the break and the height of the stratified liquid level in the pipe relative to the break elevation as seen in Figure 13-2-2. The location of the branchline leading to the break, relative to the liquid level, determines the quality of the two-phase mixture in the branchline and at the break. In these conditions, the vapor pull-through and liquid entrainment may become important as seen in Figure 13-2-3. oA4384-nonM4384-13.wpd:1Wb4303 13-2
WESTINGHOUSE PROPRIETARY CLASS 2 13-2-3 Correlation for Onset of Liquid and Vapor Entrainment A correlation for the onset of liquid and vapor entrainment to the branchline was suggested by Zuber (Zuber, 1980). This correlation is based on earlier investigations by Craya (Craya, 1949) and Lubin (Lubin, 1967). The liquid entrainment off the side orifice was derived by Craya as: Fr = C* ( h!Jt) where U (13-1) Frg= _ d g - pg Vapor pull-through off the bottom orifice was derived by Lubin as: Fr, = dC where UF (13-2) Fr, d g- AP pi where Fr. and Fr,are the Froude numbers for vapor and liquid U8 and U, are phasic velocities in the break path d is the break diameter hait is the distance between the stratified level and the break elevation at the onset of entrainment AP = P-Pg Pl, p8 are the liquid and vapor densities g is the gravitational acceleration o:W384-non\4384-13.wpd:b-4303 13-3

I WESTINGHOUSE PROPRIETARY CLASS 2 13-3 Assessment of the Horizontal Stratified Entrainment Model 13-3-1 Branchline Quality/Mainline Liquid Level Comparison Using TPFL The break flowrate is a function of the pressure and the flow quality at the break and the size of the break. For two-phase fluid conditions encountered in a small break LOCA, this quality is, in turn, a function of the stratified level in the mainline and the liquid entrainment/vapor pull-through behavior. The break flow experiment performed at the two-phase flow loop (TPFL) in INEL specifically examined a break flow from the branchline off of a simulated hot/cold leg where the two-phase flow is horizontally stratified. This experiment was motivated by the apparent inability to predict the break flow by RELAP5 and TRAC (Condie, 1980), when they were used to simulate LOFT test L3-5 (small break LOCA experiment) (Doa, 1980). The break flow predictions by the two codes were substantially higher than the experiment. The overprediction of the break flowrate and the depressurization rate was thought to be the consequence of the inability of the codes to pull through the vapor when the stratified level is above the branchline entrance. The objective of the TPFL experiment is to develop a reliable and accurate experimental data base for critical flow through small pipe breaks in which stratified two-phase flow is prevalent. Recent experiments with an air-water mixture in small pipes have indicated that liquid entrainment and vapor pull-through significantly influence discharge rates and that these phenomena are functions of stratified level and break azimuthal location. The objective of these experiments is to obtain accurate data on critical discharge rates of steam-water mixtures as a function of break orientation and stratified level. More specifically, the objectives of the experiments are to establish the following:
- An experimental data base on critical flow through small breaks for two different break orientations: bottom and side
- A data base relating discharge rates to stratified level and thermal-hydraulic conditions in the mainline
- An experimentally measured data base relating the discharge rate and level in the mainline to the conditions in the branchline oA4384-non\4384-13.wpd:1b.4303 13-10
WESTINGHOUSE PROPRIETARY CLASS 2 13-3-1-1 Description of Test Facility The tee/critical flow experiments were performed in the TPFL at the INEL Thermal Hydraulics Laboratory (Figure 13-3-1). The loop consists of 28.4-cm diameter mainline pipe which drains into a separator tank, and 3.44-cm diameter branchline which has a 1.62-cm diameter critical flow nozzle providing a known choke point. The mainline pipe is 7.9 meters long measured from the steam/water mixer to the separator. The branchline inlet tees off from the mainline pipe 2.7 meters from the separator. The branchline could be attached to the mainline either at the side (horizontal configuration) or at the bottom (vertical configuration). The schematic view of the facility is shown in Figure 13-3-2. A six-beam gamma densitometer was used 0.4 meters upstream of the branchline entrance in the mainline to determine the level in the mainline. A single-beam gamma densitometer was used to measure the density 0.3 meters upstream of the nozzle in the branchline. 13-3-1-2 Test Ranges In the experiment, for each configuration (horizontal and vertical), the mainline liquid level varied from 0 cm (all vapor) to 24 cm (85 percent of pipe diameter) at the system pressures of 900 psia, 640 psia, and 500 psia. 13-3-1-3 WCOBRA/TRAC Model The vessel component of WCOBRA[IRAC uses the COBRA-TF formulation and can model multidimensional flows, such as the flow in the vessel of the RCS. Figure 13-3-3 shows the WCOBRAITRAC noding diagram for TPFL simulation. This vessel component [ Ia,c 13-3-1-4 Comparison of WCOBRAtI'RAC Prediction to Horizontal Data Figure 13-3-4 shows the comparison of the WCOBRATRAC-SB prediction for the branchline quality as a function of the mainline liquid level for the horizontal configuration.

I WESTINGHOUSE PROPRIETARY CLASS 2 of the liquid entrainment at DH x 0.22, which also compares well with the experiment. WCOBRAITRAC slightly overpredicted the vapor pull-through. In the TPFL horizontal configuration, the prediction and the data compared well. The trend of quality variation relative to the liquid level is also correct though higher than the data when the liquid level is above the mid-elevation in the mainline pipe. 13-3-1-5 Comparison of the WCOBRAITRAC Prediction to Downward-Vertical Data Figure 13-3-5 shows the comparison of the WCOBRAIRAC-SB prediction and the experimental data of the branchline quality as a function of the mainline liquid level for the downward-vertical configuration. Predictions at 900 and 500 psia are plotted against the data taken at 900, 640, and 500 psia Both an onset of vapor pull-through and the quality as a function of liquid level are well predicted by WCOBRATRAC-SB. The prediction did not show a significant trend relative to the pressure change, which is in agreement with the data. 13-3-1-6 Comparison of the WCOBRA/TRAC Prediction to Upward-Vertical Data Figure 13-3-6 shows the comparison of the WCOBRA/TRAC-SB prediction for the branchline quality as a function of the mainline liquid level for the upward-vertical configuration. Because there. are no TPFL data for this configuration, the WCOBRAIRAC prediction for this configuration with TPFL geometry and pressure was compared against data taken at much lower pressures. This set of data was used to benchmark the correlation given by Equation 13-3, in Ardron and Bryce (Ardron and Bryce, 1990). o:\4384-non\4384-13.wpd:1b-4303 13-12

WESTINGHOUSE PROPRIETARY CLASS 2 13-4 Assessment of the WCOBRAITRAC Break Flow Model 13-4-1 Assessment Objective In this section, the break flow model in WCOBRAIRAC-SB is assessed relative to the following effects on the break flow:
- Break path length
- Break flow area variation
- Upstream pressure variation
- Variation in degree of subcooling during liquid discharge
- Upstream void fraction/quality variation
- Break entrance geometry The critical flow model's bias and uncertainty will be determined by comparing the critical flow model prediction implemented in WCOBRAflTRAC-SB with selected data from the qualified break flow dataset by V. fllic et. al. (1986), the Marviken full scale critical flow test (EPRI-NP-2370, 1982, and Amos and Schrock, 1983) and the Two Phase Flow Loop (TPFL)
(Anderson and Benedetti, 1985). 13-4-2 Assessment Test Matrix Dataset mentioned in V. Illic (1986) was further examined for selection for comparison and bias/uncertainty evaluation. Data without well defined stagnation condition or upstream condition were excluded at this time. Dataset by Cruver (1963), Fauske (1962), Henry (1990), Isbin (1957) and Zaloudek (1964) do not report stagnation pressure. Dataset by Guizovarn (1975) contains superheated liquid upstream of the nozzle, which is contrary to the description in V. Illic (1986) which states subcooled inlet condition. Dataset by Bryers and Hsieh (1966) contains highly subcooled stagnation condition contrary to the description. The dataset by Ogasawara (1969) did not contain the reservoir temperature or the quality. Datasets by Danforth (1941) and Schrock (1977) are suspect with regard to achieving the critical condition according to Illic. Dataset by Morrison (1977) was felt to be inconsistent with other similar data. The dataset mentioned above need to be further investigated for the use in the bias and uncertainty study since as-reported upstream condition is suspect. Table 134-1 is a summary of all selected dataset for this assessment. The dataset represents more than 1400 points from 40 geometries containing data from 13 to 2500 psia. The geometry ranges from 0 < L < 2300mm, 0.464 < DH< 500mm. o:\4384-non\4384-13.wpd:1b-4303 13-19

I WESTINGHOUSE PROPRIETARY CLASS 2 Boivin Boivin conducted critical flow experiments by discharging water through long, horizontal nozzles. Three nozzles were tested. Each nozzle had a rounded inlet, a long cylindrical smooth pipe, and a diffuser having a small expanding angle. In the three cases, the LID ratio is greater than 30 to minimize 2-D effects. The first nozzle had a pipe diameter of 0.012 m, 0.45 m long with a diffuser angle of 11 degrees. The second nozzle had a pipe diameter of 0.030 m, 1.6 m long with a 7 degree diffuser. The diameter of the third nozzle was 0.050 m, 1.7 m long with a diffuser of 7.7 degree. Measurements reported include inlet (stagnation) pressure and temperature, mass flux, and throat pressure. No measurement uncertainties were reported. Stagnation pressure conditions ranged from 1960 to 10100 KPa with inlet water somewhat subcooled. The upstream conditions in Pressure/Temperature and Pressure/Quality planes, along with (P, T) trajectories observed in LOFT and ROSA small break tests, are shown in Figures 13-4-2a and 13-4-2b.

The test section consisted of a smoothly convergent entrance followed by a straight cylindrical pipe 0.02013 m in diameter followed by a diverging section with a divergent angle of 7 degrees. Flow was vertically upward for all the experiments. Stagnation conditions ranged from pressures of 900 to 12000 kPa and temperatures of 148.5 to 324.6 C. The resulting critical mass fluxes ranged from 14500 to 62000 kglm-s. The throat pressure was measured along with many other pressures along the test section. In addition, for 21 of the experiments, axial and radial void fraction profiles were obtained using an X-ray densitometer. The upstream conditions in Pressure/Temperature and Pressure/Quality planes, along with (P, T) trajectories observed in LOFT and ROSA small break tests, are shown in Figures 13-4-4a and 13-4-4b.

Figure 13-4-4b Upstream Condition in Jeandey Neusen Neusen performed experiments to determine design criteria for convergent-divergent nozzles. Critical flow occurred during these experiments, and the data are included in this data base. Neusen flowed saturated water through two convergent-divergent nozzles with minimum diameters of 0.0064 and 0.011 m. Reported stagnation conditions ranged from pressures of 840 to 5540 kPa and qualities of 0.0028 and 0.228. Stagnation conditions for these experiments were determined by measuring subcooled temperature and pressure upstream of a throttling valve. The throttling process was assumed to be isentropic, and pressure was measured downstream of the throttling valve (reported uncertainty of 1%). Reported uncertainties for mass flux and calculated enthalpy were less than 2.5% and 0.5%, respectively. The upstream conditions in Pressure/Temperature and Pressure/Quality planes, along with (P, T) trajectories observed in LOFT and ROSA small breaks, are shown in Figures 13-4-5a and 13-4-5b. o:\4384-non\434-13.wpd:1b4303 13-28

The test section consisted of a straight, cylindrical section 2.335 m long and 0.020 m in diameter, followed by a divergent section 0.327 m long. Stagnation pressures ranged from 212 to 340 kPa, and stagnation temperatures ranged from 115.9 to 121.8 C. Pressure were measured along the test section at many locations, most concentrated near the choking point (at the entrance to the divergent section). The critical or throat pressures were determined from these measurements. In addition, the void fraction at the choking point was measured for most of the tests using X-ray attenuation method.

The water for each experiment was demineralized and degassed. Water from a large vessel was blown-down through test nozzles. Data from 21 different nozzle shapes and configurations have been taken with more than 650 individual data points. Stagnation pressure ranged from 3000 to 7000 kPa, and stagnation qualities ranged from approximately -0.04 to 0.007 (based on the specific volume) The upstream conditions in Pressure/ITemperature and Pressure/Quality planes, along with (P, T) trajectories observed in LOFT and ROSA small break tests, are shown in Figures 13-4-8a and 13-4-8b.

The Marviken facility was used for full-scale critical flow tests between mid-1977 and December 1979. During this time, 27 tests were conducted by a downward discharge of water and steam mixtures from a full-sized reactor vessel through a large diameter vertical discharge pipe that supplied the flow to a test nozzle. There were 9 nozzles tested; all had rounded entrances followed by a noninal 20, 30 and 50 cm constant diameter straight section. Table 134-3 below shows the characteristic dimensions for the tests. As seen in the table, tests selected for the model evaluation are datasets taken with two of the shortest nozzles in the Marviken test series. o:\4384-non\4384-13.wpd:Ib-4303 13-34

It is made up of several pieces: nozzle, permanently attached to the vessel with a 752 mm diameter, a 1980 mm long drift tube of the same diameter, a 1778 mm long global valve with a 780 mm diameter and a 1000 nun long with 752 mm diameter section to which the nozzle is attached. Besides these there were two 120 mm long instrument rings inserted on either end of the 1980 mm'drift tube. It is quite clear that with this degree of geometric complexity, the question of establishing a consistent set of complete inlet conditions is not simple. For this study, only the nozzle is modelled by the critical flow model. Thus the inlet condition to the nozzle was taken from 004M109 for pressure (0.7 m upstream) and 003M404 for temperature (2.8 m upstream). Probable error Pressure - 7 kPa, Temperature - 0.6°C. The upstream conditions in Pressure/Temperature and Pressure/Quality planes, along with (P, T) trajectories observed in LOFT and ROSA small break tests, are shown in Figures 13-4-9a and 13-4-9b. o.W384-nonN4384-13.wpd:1b-4303 13-35

WESTINGHOUSE PROPRIETARY CLASS 2 Amos and Schrock Amos and Schrock's break flow data cover a wide range of pressure from 4000 to 15500 kPa, and subcooling from 0 to 60°C which is suited for evaluating a performance of the break model for small break LOCA analyses. The configuration of the break is thin rectangular slit with the nominal width of 0.381 and 0.254 mm. These set of tests are two of larger slit size of the three of their experiments. Although the break flow area is rectangular and small (equivalent hydraulic diameter = 0.748 and 0.464 mm), the data is valuable since the phenomena which governs the critical condition appeared to be the same for breaks of all sizes. This may be why the D flow model is sufficiently accurate to describe the break flows. The upstream conditions in Pressure/Temperature and Pressure/Quality planes, along with (P, T) trajectories observed in LOFT and ROSA small break tests, are shown in Figures 13-4-10a and 134-lOb.

Two phase mixture of known phasic mass flow rate flowed through a branch line pipe of 1.63 m long, 34 mm diameter attached to a simulated cold leg pipe, to the nozzle which is 54 mm long and has a diameter of 16.2 mm. The pressure just upstream of the rounded entrance nozzle as well as the void fraction was measured by a gamma attenuation method. Their experiments are well instrumented critical flow tests with saturated upstream conditions at 900, 640 and 500 psia. The flow quality in the tests were varied from 0 to 1 at all three pressures. The upstream conditions in Pressure/Temperature and Pressure/Quality planes, along with (P, T) trajectories observed in LOFT and ROSA small break tests, are shown in Figures 134-1 la and 13-4-1 lb. o:\4384-non\4384-13.wpd:1b-4303 13-38

WESTINGHOUSE PROPRIETARY CLASS 2 13-5 Scaling Consideration An observation relative to the scalability of the model is addressed in this section. 13-5-1 Pressure, Subcooling, and Quality For the subcooled break flow model, a pressure range of 13 to 2300 psia and a quality range of -0.039 to 1.0 were examined. The results indicated that the model is scalable relative to pressure and subcooling with reasonable accuracy. The results showed that the model adequately accounts for the pressure and the quality variations. 13-5-2 Break Flow Area The break flow comparisons showed that the present model predicted both small diameter tests such as Amos and Schrock for 0.0295 inch (Amos and Schrock, 1983), and Sozzi and Sutherland for 0.5-inch (Sozzi and Sutherland, 1975), as well as the large diameter (19.7-inch) data obtained in the Marviken tests (EPRI-NP-2370, 1982) with adequate accuracy. The WCOBRA/TRAC break model was able to simulate both small and large diameter nozzles adequately. 13-5-3 Break Geometry The entrance effects, such as the roundness/sharpness of the orifice are accounted for in the present model although the flow area variation along the axis is neglected. 13-54 Pressure Effect on the Onset of Entrainment and Branchlne Quality The horizontal stratified entrainment model was validated from 500 up to 900 psia, close to the full pressure at which the entrainment is an important factor in small break LOCAs. Thus, no significant distortion in the PWR calculation is expected relative to the pressure. 13-5-5 Mainline Pipe Diameter Variation on the Onset of Entrainment and Branchline Quality This parameter may be important for stratified entrainment behavior. The correlation used in WCOBRA/TRAC is validated up to 28.4 cm. This is roughly one-third of the cold leg diameter, o:4394-non\438413.wpd:1b-4303 13-84
WESTINGHOUSE PROPRIETARY CLASS 2 where a postulated small break LOCA is assumed to occur. There may be a scale distortion at a full PWR diameter of 99 cm. However, the original correlations were derived by assuming an infinite diameter tank; it is likely that the size distortion is small. 13-6 Conclusions The break flow comparisons showed that the present model predicted both small diameter tests such as Amos and Schrock at 0.0295 inch, and Sozzi and Sutherland at 0.5-inch as well as the large diameter (19.7-inch) data obtained in the Marviken tests (EPRI-NP-2370, 1982) with acceptable accuracy. The onset of vapor pull-through and liquid entrainment, in addition to break quality, are well simulated by WCOBRA/TRAC-SB. However, it is possible that the entrainment is strongly influenced by the presence of waves and vortex; the uncertainty may be higher than estimated in this assessment in other applications. 13-7 References Alamgir, M.

SECTION 14 SAFETY INJECTION JET CONDENSATION: COSI EXPERIMENTS 14-1 Introduction The phenomenon of direct-contact condensation, the condensation of vapor by subcooled liquid, takes place in the cold leg piping during a small break LOCA transient once any voiding has occurred and the relatively cold safety injection water is being injected. Steam condensation results in volume shrinkage, and this in turn affects the pressure globally throughout the RCS, with ultimate implications for how much water the centrifugal safety injection pumps can inject against the RCS backpressure. If left within the RCS indefinitely, the injected cold water eventually mixes with the hot liquid and steam and reaches equilibrium conditions; a simple mass and energy balance should be adequate to describe and predict the process. However, because the water is injected into the cold leg piping, many more complex effects can occur from the localized condensation process. In the broken loop cold leg, the degree of condensation affects the enthalpy of fluid at the break plane. This can affect the break flowrate and thus the system pressure and mass loss. Also, the volume reduction from the steam condensed in the cold leg tends to be replaced by steam flowing from other parts of the RCS, and this generates flow pressure drops that affect coolant distribution. Finally, the degree to which complete mixing and condensation occur in the cold leg affects the water conditions in the vessel downcomer, which in turn can affect the gravity head for coolant distribution in the reactor vessel. To investigate the ability of the WCOBRA/RAC-SB code to correctly predict condensation phenomena, a model was constructed of a series of experiments which were performed in the Condensation On Safety Injection (COSI) facility. The COSI facility is an approximately 1:100 scale model of the cold leg and safety injection lines of a Westinghouse-type nuclear power plant (NPP), constructed specifically for investigating the interaction of steam and cold safety injection water in a prototypical NPP configuration and at typical NPP fluid conditions encountered during a small break LOCA. A description of the facility, the experiments, and the modelling follow. o:\4384-non\4384-14.wpd:lb-040403 14-1
I 14-2 Description of COSI "Li 14-2-1 Facility Description The COSI facility is a 1:100 scale model of the cold leg and safety injection ports of a Westinghouse-type NPP. It is capable of operating at pressures [ ]ac and at appropriately scaled flowrates to cover nearly the full range of injection conditions expected in an NPP transient, during which condensation on the safety injection water is an identified phenomenon. The main scaling philosophy followed in designing the system was [ Iax Figure 14-1 illustrates the arrangement of the main components of the test facility. The main pipe (cold leg simulator) is [ as seen in Figure 14-2. The experiments simulated herein [
]' Instrumentation in the facility was state-of-the-art in the mid-1980s, and measurement accuracies are extremely good.
Measurements are available for steam and liquid flowrates in and out of the test assembly, for temperatures of all fluid entering and exiting, for pressures, and for differential pressures. Within the test section, a series of thermocouple rakes provides information concerning stratification of the liquid. 14-2-2 Key Phenomena Information obtained from the tests provides a data base for assessing models for steam condensation on cold safety injection jets and with varying levels of water in the main pipe simulating the cold leg. Previous evaluations of the data (Shimeck, 1988 and Jonicot and Bestion, 1993) concluded that there was significant condensation for nearly all test conditions which, when measured in terms of condensation efficiency, approached values of 100 percent in some cases. Condensation efficiency is defined as the ratio of the steam mass condensation which occurs to the mass of the steam condensation that would raise the enthalpy of the injected safety injection water to saturation. There was clear evidence of stratification in the main pipe, and other evidence pointed to the conclusion that the majority of the condensation was occurring o:\4384-non\4384-14.wpd:lb-040403 14-2
directly within the relatively small jet mixing zone. The jet mixing zone is defined as encompassing the jet of water flowing out of the injection port together with the area a short distance immediately upstream and downstream of the injection point in which water in the cold leg is turbulently mixed by the impact and spreading ofthejet. Investigations were conducted for a range of pressures, injection rates, and weir heights to determine to what degree any of these affected the results. 14-2-3 Applicable Tests and Parameter Ranges A large matrix of tests was conducted over the course of the program by both Westinghouse and Framatome, and some reconfiguration of the facility test section was performed with regard to the length of the main pipe in the test assembly and the angle and size of the injection piping. The experiments of most interest and applicability to code validation for small break LOCA transients were the steady-state points with flows simulating pumped high head injection. A core series of 11 tests, with 55 individual data points, is identified in WCAP-1 1767 (Shimeck, 1988). The key parameters of interest from these tests, which are useful for sensitivity studies, are shown in Table 14-1. 14-3 Description of WCOBRA/TRAC Model Figure 14-3 shows the component layout of the WCOBRAfIRAC-SB model of the COSI facility. The main test section, which consists here of the cold leg pipe and the downcomer, is modelled [
]3$ The test points to be simulated were established to be steady-state with constant pressure and constant flowrates of steam and water. The two BREAK components on either end of the assembly allow for controlling the system at a given pressure.

The/[channel size was selected to provide a reasonable degree of detail, but without an excessive number of channel§]"T} 14-4 Simulations 14-4-1 Summary of Experimental Results A set of test points, as obtained from the experiments, corresponds to a given configuration of injection line size and weir installation (in or out). Two injection line diameters (d) were tested [ x1, Information from measurements made with the thermocouple rakes was reviewed to deduce the phenomena involved in the condensation process along the cold leg when a weir is present. Significant amounts of temperature stratification were observed, and combined with examination of the actual temperatures, the conclusion was that the overall behavior depicted in Figure 14-6 was taking place. Fluid temperatures upstream and downstream of the injection point were stable and indicated that a countercurrent flow pattern was in place on the upstream side. On the downstream side, it is not clear whether the flow pattern was cocurrent or countercurrent, but again stratification was noted. In the immediate vicinity of the injection port, the thermocouple measurements exhibited a significant standard deviation, indicating turbulent conditions. The downward impingement of the safety injection jet, combined with the significant influx of steam to this point, supported a turbulent jet mixing zone, with rather complex flow and heat transfer patterns. Any safety injection water that leaves the jet mixing zone and is not saturated will support further condensation on the pool surface both upstream and downstream. Additionally, the small waterfall that occurs in the downcomer region accentuated the condensation in this region. Although this waterfall effect may be argued to possibly be somewhat prototypical of water in an NPP falling into the downcomer from the cold leg, it was not the intent of the o:\4384-non\4384-14.wpdtlb040403 14-4
experiment to simulate this effect. Therefore, a set of experiments was conducted in the facility in which the downcomer water level was varied to obtain an adjustment to the data that removed this factor. The conclusion from analysis of the data was that there is a strong condensation mechanism in the jet mixing zone which must be modelled in a small break LOCA simulation. Any nonsaturated water that exits this zone will then simply interact in a more quiescent fashion. Condensation beyond the jet mixing zone is calculated with other models (see Section 18). The experimental results are best described in terms of the condensation efficiency, which is defined as the ratio of the mass flowrate of steam to the mass flowrate of steam that raises all of the safety injection water to saturation. The black symbols in Figures 14-7, 14-8, and 14-9 show the experimental results for various configurations. The results are presented in Tables 14-2, 14-3, and 14-4 as well. The presented condensation efficiencies were corrected so that condensation in the downcomer region is not taken into account. [ I" In general, condensation efficiencies were high for all conditions that were examined at all pressures, injection rates, and injection configurations. [

The effects of condensation in the downcomer region were not taken into account (by deactivating condensation in that region) to make the code results comparable with the corrected experimental results.

l As for the previous cases, the smallest difference is for the lowest injection water flowrates. The WCOBRA/TRAC-SB small break LOCA computer code contains a safety injection condensation model to simulate that phenomenon. The condensation in the jet mixing zone is dominant, and an increase of the condensation due to the jet presence is necessary to achieve better agreement with the experimental results, particularly at high safety injection flows. The present model does not take into account detailed effects of the entrainment, disturbance of the water surface due to the jet impingement, droplet formation, and consequently, the increase of heat transfer area with the increased jet Reynolds number. Agreement between experimental and o:\4384-non\4394-14.wpd: lb-040403 146
numerical results is closest at the lowest COSI safety injection water flowrate. This flowrate is the closest to the scaled injection rate that corresponds to the analyzed single failure condition for the PWR. For instance, [
]axc 14-5 Conclusions A WCOBRA.'RAC-SB model of the COSI safety injection condensation separate-effects experiments has been used to simulate the phenomena. The comparison with experimental results shows that the code was able to predict condensation rates within a reasonable range for the lower safety injection flowrates. In the range of the higher safety injection flowrates, the code underpredicts the condensation efficiencies. The lowest COSI injection flowrate is the most representative of the as-analyzed PWR flowrates during the pressure range of interest for small break LOCA events. Therefore, the jet condensation efficiency in the WCOBRA/FRAC-SB predictions is judged to be acceptable for integral test facility and PWR simulations.

SECTION 15 MIXTURE LEVEL SWELL 15-1 Introduction Early in a small break LOCA, voids are generated in the primary RCS by flashing and boiling in the core. Because of the small break size, flows in the RCS are primarily gravity-driven. Following the initial rapid depressurization stage of the LOCA, distinct liquid levels are formed at several locations. Below this liquid or two-phase mixture level, the fluid is a low quality two-phase mixture; while above the level, it is primarily single-phase vapor. Liquid levels initially occur in the pressurizer, in the upper head, and in the uphill and downhill steam generator tubing. Eventually, the RCS drains so that the level in the reactor vessel reaches the hot leg. At this point, the rate of system depressurization is low and vapor generation results from boiling in the core, from power produced by decay heat. Because the vapor generated by this decay heat can be high, regions in the vessel can achieve a significant void fraction. The two-phase mixture level depends on the interfacial shear exerted by the vapor on the liquid, and as a result, the mixture level can be significantly higher than the collapsed liquid level. The difference between the two-phase mixture level and the collapsed level is a measure of the "mixture level swell," which is defined as: s= Z2 (5-1) ZCLL where Zcu is the collapsed liquid level and Z.¢, is the two-phase mixture level. Prediction of the mixture level swell and tracking of the mixture level are important in the later stages of a small break LOCA. As more liquid is boiled away, the mixture level can eventually drop into the core. While good cooling can be maintained below the mixture level, dryout occurs above the mixture level. Heat transfer above the mixture level is by convection and thermal radiation to steam. These relatively poor modes of heat transfer cause the cladding temperature above the mixture level to increase rapidly. Thus, prediction of the two-phase mixture level in the active core is vital to an accurate prediction of the PCT in a small break LOCA. o:\4384-non\4384-15awpd:b-{4033 15-1
I 15-2 Physical Processes As described in Section 15-1, mixture level swell is the process that determines the vertical position of the two-phase interfaces in the system; below the interface the mixture is low quality and above the interface the mixture is essentially single-phase vapor. The mixture level swell depends on several processes: the interfacial drag between the vapor and liquid (film), wall drag, bubble rise velocity and bubble size, entrainment of droplets at the two-phase interface, and transition point between bubbly and other vertical flow regimes. In general, the liquid and vapor flowrates are low, which make wall drag due to form and friction losses negligible compared to the interfacial drag. In small break LOCA scenarios, the steam velocities are too low to entrain droplets at the two-phase interface, and thus entrainment is negligible. Therefore, mixture level swell is most directly affected by processes that deternine the interfacial shear and the relative velocity between the phases. Several experimental tests have been run under small break LOCA thermal-hydraulic conditions to measure the effects of various parameters on mixture level swell. Bundle power, or more accurately the vapor generation rate, had the most dominant effect on the measured mixture level and void fraction distributions. Transition to dryout did not occur until the void fraction exceeded a value of approximately 0.85. Based on these observations, factors considered important in the assessment of predictions of mixture level swell include:
- Mixture level as a function of bundle power and inlet flowrate
- Collapsed liquid level as a function of bundle power and inlet flowrate
- Void fraction distribution 15-3 WCOBRAITRAC Determination of the Mixture Level The models and correlations for wall and interfacial drag are described in Section 4, Volume 1, of this document. Flow regime transitions are described in Section 3 of this document. These models are used to determine the void fraction distribution within a region.
WCOBRA[TAC-SB does not include a specific model or pointer to identify the mixture level. Thus, mixture level tracking is accomplished [ aC o:\4384-non\4384-15a.wpd:lb-04033 15-2
[ Iac While the WCOBRATRAC interface logic prevents the use of an unrealistically low void fraction in a cell, it does not uniquely determiine the mixture level elevation. Therefore, the ability of WCOBRA/TRAC to track a mixture level is dependent upon the axial noding. In the core, [
]ax 15-4 Assessment of WCOBRA/TRAC Mixture Level Predictions 154-1 Introduction There are several separate effects experimental tests that provide data on the mixture level and mass inventory distribution in a rod bundle under small break LOCA thermal-hydraulic conditions. Three such experimental facilities were modelled with WCOBRAITRAC-SB, and several experimental tests were simulated to determine the predictive capability of the code.
The tests were as follows:
- The ORNL-THTF Uncovered Bundle Tests by Anklam (Anlam, et al., 1982)
- The Westinghouse G-1 Core Uncovery Tests, WCAP-9764 (WCAP-9764, 1980)
- The General Electric (GE) Vessel Blowdown Tests by Findlay and Sozzi (Findlay and Sozzi, 1981)
Each of these tests, run at pressures typical of those in a small break LOCA (1100 to 400 psia), provides information on the mass distribution in a vessel for various thermal-hydraulic conditions. The ORNL-THTF and G-1 tests provide mixture level and mass inventories for uncovered rod bundles, and the GE tests provide mass inventory in a vessel during a rapid depressurization. o:"4384-non\4384-15a.wpd:lb-04033 15-3
I The following sections discuss each test, the WCOBRAITRAC-SB simulation, and the comparisons between the measured and predicted results. 154-2 ORNL-THTF Small Break Tests 154-2-1 Introduction The ORNL-THTF performed a series of experimental tests pertinent to small break LOCA model validation. The ORNL-THTF was a high pressure rod bundle thermal-hydraulics loop. The bundle was full height and contained 64 electrically heated rods with internal dimensions typical of a 17x17 PWR fuel bundle. Figure 154-2-1 shows a cross section of the ORNL-THTF test bundle. Four of the rods were unheated to represent control rod guide tubes in a nuclear fuel assembly. Figure 154-2-2 shows an axial profile of the ORNL-THTF bundle. The bundle had a heated length of 12 feet (3.66 m) and contained six spacer grids. Thermocouples were located at 25 different axial elevations. Two types of experiments were conducted in the ORNL-THTF. One series consisted of several uncovered bundle heat transfer tests. In these tests, the experiment was continued until a steady-state condition was reached in the uncovered part of the bundle and rods were heated to a high temperature. The second type of tests did not have bundle uncovery. The bundle remained covered, and a void profile over the entire axial length was obtained. Additional information on the ORNL-THTF test bundle, and on the tests conducted in the facility, is in NUREG/CR-2456 (Anklam, et al., 1982). 154-2-2 WCOBRA/1RAC Model of the ORNL-THTF Figure 154-2-3 shows the WCOBRA/TRAC model of the ORNL-THTF. The heated length is modelled [

154-2-3 Test Matrix for ORNL-THTF Simulations Simulations of small break LOCAs in PWRs generally show that there are two periods in which the core can possibly be uncovered. The first occurs during the loop seal clearance period. During this uncovery, the primary system pressure is high (approximately 1150 psia) and the two-phased mixture level can drop below the top of the core. The second uncovery occurs if the break flow exceeds the pumped SI flow during the boil-off period. The system pressure during this uncovery is low, typically 600 to 650 psia, which is just below the accumulator gas pressure. Table 15-4-2-1 lists tests selected for simulation by WCOBRAITRAC-SB. Six of the tests are bundle uncovery tests. Three are at relatively low pressure (580 to 650 psia), and three are at high pressure (1010 to 1090 psia). All six had roughly one-half the bundle uncovered. Six other tests are from the level swell test series. Again, three were at low pressure (520 to 590 psia), and three were at high pressure (1090 to 1170 psia). These tests span the expected range of conditions for uncovery in PWR calculations leading to the most limiting PCTs. 15-4-2-4 Simulation of ORNL-THTF Tests Each test was simulated by imposing a flow and enthalpy boundary condition at the bottom of channel 1, and a constant pressure boundary condition at the top of channel 3. The simulation was continued until the calculation reached a steady-state condition. The parameter YDRAG and the tests are discussed below. Interfacial Drag Multiplier YDRAG The parameter YDRAG has been introduced to facilitate WCOBRAIRAC-SB ranging of interfacial drag. YDRAG is a multiplier on the interfacial drag value that is computed according to the vertical flow regime map. It is specified on an individual cell basis, and 1.0 is the default value. The results obtained for some of the ORNL-THTF tests with a value of 1.0 are presented in Table 154-2-2. The series of ORNL-THTF tests was executed using a variety of YDRAG values in the simulated core region. Table 15-4-2-3 contains the results obtained when a YDRAG value of 0.8 is specified. With YDRAG equal to 0.8, the amount of level swell is reduced. In order to quantify the appropriate YDRAG for each test level swell prediction to match the data, further simulations were performed at YDRAG o\4384-non\4384-15awpd:lb-4033 15-5
- l~~~~~~~~
values of 1.2, 0.65, and 0.5. Based on these results, the YDRAG value for each test that enables the prediction to match the data is shown in Table 154-2-4. The average YDRAG for the set is 0.79. Bundle Uncovery Tests (YDRAG = 0.8) Figures 154-24 to 154-2-9 show the results of WCOBRA/TRAC-SB simulations with YDRAG set to 0.8 of the bundle uncovery tests, I to N, in which one-third to one-half of the core is uncovered. Results for the bundle uncovery tests are shown in comparison with the predicted values of axial void fraction profiles; in the predictions, some variation in the void fractions was observed. In general, WCOBRA/TRAC predicts the void fraction reasonably well in the lower half of the bundle. In the upper half, the void fraction tends to be overpredicted. The cladding temperatures predicted and the heat transfer/void fraction relationship as modelled in WCOBRA/TRAC-SB are discussed in Volume 4 of this document. Level Swell Tests (YDRAG = 0.8) Figures 154-2-10 to 154.2-15 show the results of WCOBRAIRAC simulations with YDRAG set to 0.8 of the six level swell tests, AA to FF, in which the mixture level is at the top of the bundle. Because these tests had no uncovery, a cladding heatup did not occur. In general, the predicted and measured void profiles were in good agreement for this test series. As in the bundle uncovery test simulations, WCOBRA/TRAC-SB tends at times to overpredict the void fraction in the upper half of the bundle. Also, at times the void fraction profile is not smooth in the upper part of the bundle (tests AA and BB). Overall, however, agreement between the predictions and the measured profiles is reasonable. 15-4-2-5 Summary and Conclusions A WCOBRATRAC-SB mixture level was determined for each of the 12 ORNL-THTF steady-state tests simulated. The mixture level was defined as the elevation where a = 0.9 at a sharp gradient in the predicted void fractions, based on a linear interpolation between two continuity o:\4384-non\4384-15a.wpd:lb-04033 15-6
cells. Table 154-2-3 lists the mixture level and the collapsed liquid level at steady-state for each test with YDRAG = 0.8. Figure 15-4-2-16 shows a comparison of the predicted and measured mixture level at YDRAG = 0.8; Figure 154-2-17 compares the collapsed liquid level. In general, the agreement for two-phase mixture level is good. The poorest agreement is for test 3.09.1ON, which is a test at the lowest power at high pressure. Taken together, the summary figures show that WCOBRAJTRAC-SB tends to predict mass in the rod bundle (at YDRAG = 0.8) well compared with the experimental data. The average misprediction is small, and there is not a great deal of scatter. This indicates that the correlations affecting mixture level have a small bias and the uncertainty is also small. The predicted and measured void profiles are in reasonable agreement for both the uncovery test series and the level swell series. This supports the premise that the models for interfacial drag and bubble rise are well behaved. The simulation of ORNL tests at different values of YDRAG was conducted to produce a set of results that could be used to determine heated core interfacial drag multipliers for a small LOCA calculation in a PWR. The range of YDRAG values was sufficient to bound the data for low mixture level swell values. No modification to the core interfacial drag (YDRAG = 1.0) was found to overpredict the level swell; the multiplier of YDRAG = 0.8 produced improved results on average. YDRAG = 0.8 is the reference value for PWR core calculations. The set of multipliers that forces the code to match the data level swell was also identified. The minimum value for this set is YDRAG ,, = 0.503, and the maximum is YDRAG,,, = 1.169; the average value was YDRAG,,, = 0.79. Because the number of tests simulated is low (12), the multipliers in these simulations are combined with those from other level swell tests (G-1) to obtain a YDRAG distribution for application to the core region in the small break LOCA analysis of a PWR. o.4384-non\4384-15a.wpd:lb-04033 15-7

154-34 Simulation of G-1 Core Uncovery Tests Each simulation was started with the initial water level covering the top of the test bundle (i.e., the initial liquid fraction in the test section was 1.0); channels above the top elevation of the test bundle were initiated as void. The initial water temperature was based on available fluid temperature measurements and was generally a few degrees subcooled in core and downcomer channels at the start of the test. The test was started when the power to the bundle was turned on at 0.0 seconds and simulation continued for several hundred seconds, depending on the length of the experiment. The main parameters of interest in the simulations are the uncovery times of both the 10-foot and the 8-foot elevations, and the amount of water present in the bundle when the uncovery occurred. The uncovery time is readily identified in the test data as the time when the thermocouples at a particular elevation began to rapidly increase in temperature. The test report listed the average void fraction below the measurement elevation as the parameter representative of the amount of mass in the bundle. This value was deduced from DP cell measurements. o:\4384-non'4384-15b.wpd:Ib-04033 15-30

]a.c The predicted void fraction in the test bundle increased rapidly at the start of the (YDRAG = 1.0)
WCOBRA/TRAC-SB run. While the lower half of the bundle was predicted to remain at relatively low void fraction, boiloff at the top of the bundle progressively caused the void fractions to increase and eventually become single-phase vapor. Early in the simulation, the [
]a The collapsed liquid level predicted in the test section falls as indicated in Figure 154-34.
After 210 seconds, the void fraction in the channel at the 10-foot bundle elevation became single-phase vapor. The predicted cladding temperature at the 10-foot elevation for run 63, as shown in Figure 154-34, increases rapidly at this time. At the end of the simulation, the mixture level approaches the 6-foot elevation. The uncovery times at the 8- and 10-foot elevations are easily identifiable in Figure 154-34; uncovery at the 10-foot elevation occurs at 210 seconds and at the 8-foot elevation, 320 seconds. The heatup rate is greater at the 8-foot elevation because of the higher local power. The summary of results and the comparison to the data for run 63 and the other G-1 simulations are listed in Table 154-3-2. The uncovery times in the WCOBRATfRAC-SB predictions executed with YDRAG = 0.8 in the test bundle are gleaned from the review of the cladding temperature figures, as described above. Table 154-3-2 compares the predicted and measured uncovery times for the eight G-1 test simulations. The predicted uncovery time is less than that measured for some points, but the prediction is greater for others. The trend is for the low pressure cases to exhibit predicted uncovery times beyond the measured values and for the high pressure cases to underpredict the uncovery times. The table also compares the level swell predictions to the data at the time of core uncovery for the 10-foot and 8-foot elevations. Figures 154-3-5 and 154-3-6 present the data in Table 154-3-2 graphically. o.M4384-non\4384-15b.wpd:lb-04033 15-31
I The level swell is both overpredicted and underpredicted by ECOBRA/TRAC-SB with YDRAG = 0.8 specified for the test bundle. Therefore, cases with increased and reduced interfacial drag were investigated by analyzing the tests using YDRAG values of 1.0, 1.2, 0.65, 0.5, 0.4, and 0.3. WCOBRA/IRAC-SB predictions of uncovery time and level swell decrease as YDRAG is decreased. The YDRAG values at which WCOBRArfRAC-SB matches the G-1 test data level swell are shown in Table 154-3-3. Figure 15-4-3-7 compares the YDRAG values to match the measured level swell as a function of total bundle power for the tests. Consistent with the data, WCOBRATRAC-SB shows [
]ac 15-4-3-6 Summary and Conclusions In general, WCOBRA/TRAC-SB predicted the uncovery times and major trends in the G-1 Core Uncovery Test data with reasonable accuracy; predicted level swell values were both greater and less than the test data. The effect of variations in YDRAG were explored, and the set of multipliers that forces the code to match the G-1 test data level swell was identified. The minimum value for this set is YDRAG,,,, = 0.353, and the maximum is YDRAG,, = 1.121. The average value is YDRAG,,,, = 0.693.
The bias observed in the WCOBRAfIRAC-SB prediction of the G-1 tests is similar but somewhat higher than that observed in the ORNL-THTF simulations. Taken together, the ORNL-THTF and G-1 simulations provide the YDRAG distribution for the core region level swell in the small break LOCA uncertainty analysis of a PWR. o:\4384-non\4384-15b.wpd:lb-04033 15-32

15-4-4 GE Vessel Blowdown Tests 154-4-1 Introduction The GE Vessel Blowdown Facility is designed to study basic phenomena such as void fraction distribution and transient liquid-vapor level swell during blowdown. A description of all the tests performed is given in NUREG/CR-1899 (Findlay and Sozzi, 1981). The blowdown tests were performed in a cylindrical carbon steel vessel. The vessel was a two-piece unit that could be separated at a pair of flanges located near the center of the vessel. The cylindrical portion of the vessel was constructed from Schedule 80 pipe, 12 feet long with an inside diameter of 1 foot. Elliptical heads were welded onto the ends of the pipe to create the vessel. The total vessel volume was 10 cubic feet, and the total height was 14 feet. There were five calorimetric heater rods, 1 inch in diameter and 2 feet high, in the bottom of the vessel to heat the water. The steam exhaust was located at the 13-foot elevation with an orifice that was captured in a flange. The orifices used to control the tank blowdown rate were plates with the prescribed hole machined without a chamber. The orifice was located close to the vessel in a 2-inch Schedule 80 pipe. Figure 15-4-4-1 is a scaled drawing that shows the vessel, its penetrations, the blowdown line, and a suppression pool where the blowdown effluent was discharged. A 3/4-inch thick perforated plate (containing 109 holes, 9/16-inch diameter), designed to provide an internal flow restriction, was installed between the main vessel flanges at the mid-elevation during some of the tests. The resistance of the plate was varied by plugging a selected number of holes. Orifice plates with different flow areas were used in the blowdown line to limit the blowdown flowrate and vary the vessel depressurization rate. Figure 15-44-2 shows the instrumentation arrangement used to measure three basic parameters: pressures, pressure differences, and temperatures. Vessel pressure and differential pressures were measured using strain-gauge pressure transducers, and temperatures were measured using Iron-Constantan thermocouples. The transient void fraction and the mixture level were calculated from differential pressure measurements. The vessel was initially filled with demineralized water and boiled at atmospheric pressure for approximately 30 minutes to liberate any dissolved gas in the supply water. A vent at the top of the vessel was then closed, and the water was heated to establish the initial conditions (which o:\4384-non\4384-1Sb.wpd:lb-04033 15-45
I were a nominal pressure of 1000 psi and 545°F). Actual initial conditions for each test are given in the test matrix in Table 15-44-1. With the facility initially heated and pressurized, several top-break blowdown tests were conducted using different-sized orifice plates to vary the blowdown transient. The tests also varied the open area of the resistance plate at the vessel mid-plane. 15-4-4-2 WCOBRAJTRAC Model for GE Vessel Blowdown Tests The WCOBRA/TRAC model of the GE Vessel Blowdown Facility is shown in Figure 1544-3. The test vessel itself is modelled [
].C Actual dimensions of the orifice were used in the modelling of the flowpath to the break.
15-4-4-3 Test Matrix for Simulations Table 15-44-1 lists the seven tests in the small break test series. Each was simulated with WCOBRAJTRAC-SB. 1544-4 Simulation of GE Vessel Blowdown Tests The results of the WCOBRAIIRAC-SB simulations of the Vessel Blowdown Tests are compared to experimental data in Figures 1544-4 to 15-4417. For each test, a comparison between the predicted and measured vessel pressure is presented; the two-phase level predicted and measured values are also presented. For the WCOBRAITRAC-SB prediction, the two-phase -LI o:\4384-non\43S4- 1Sb.wpd:I b-04033 15-46
level was defined as the elevation where a void fraction of 0.95 defines a sharp gradient between adjacent hydraulic cells. In general, the comparison between predicted and measured vessel pressure shows the code underpredicted the measured pressures. Table 154-4-2 compares the WCOBRA/TRAC-SB model prediction of several parameters with test data. The predicted mixture levels for the tests vary from being overpredicted to being underpredicted. The variation of mixture level with time is generally well predicted. Overall, the void fraction in the two-phase mixture tends to be overpredicted by WCOBRAJTRAC-SB. 15-44-5 Effect of Interfacial Drag Multiplier The simulations of the GE Vessel Blowdown Tests were also rerun with WCOBRAIRAC-SB to investigate the impact of the interfacial drag multiplier (YDRAG) on the prediction of the two-phase level and pressure. Simulations were made with YDRAG = 0.65 to compare the effect of interfacial drag on the results using WCOBRA/TRAC-SB. The results indicate a small pressure effect of using a lower YDRAG value. Figures 15-4-4-18, -19, and -20 compare the YDRAG = 1.0 (solid curve) to YDRAG = 0.65 (dashed curve) results. In all cases, the depressurization to 400 psi is quicker with YDRAG = 0.65 because steam is passing to the exit BREAK more efficiently. These effects are expected because with a lower interfacial drag coefficient, there is less force acting to raise the two-phase level in the vessel. For void fraction predictions, the difference is again small; in some cases, the void fraction is shifted lower with a YDRAG = 0.65 at a given elevation, and in others, it shifts higher. Overall, there is little difference between the simulation results of void fraction for a given test caused by varying YDRAG. 154-4-6 Summary and Conclusions The results of the GE Vessel Blowdown Test simulations tend to confirm the results for the ORNL-THTF Uncovered Bundle Tests and the G-1 Core Uncovery Test simulations, which showed that WCOBRA/TRAC tends to underpredict the amount of mass present in a given test. The results of the GE Vessel Blowdown Tests using WCOBRA/TRAC-SB indicate that varying YDRAG appears to make little difference relative to the pressure and void fraction predicted. Therefore, the blowdown flashing behavior predicted by the code as YDRAG is varied within the core during plant sensitivity studies is judged to be minimally affected; the YDRAG values in the o:\4384-non\4384-15b.wpd:IbO4033 15-47
I core may be specified based on the effect on the fluid condition at the time of core uncovery 'Ij during the boiloff phase of a small break LOCA, in the knowledge that the blowdown phase behavior is not significantly impacted by the selection. In particular, a core YDRAG value of 0.8 is employed for both the integral test and PWR simulations. o\4384-non\4384-15b.wpd:lb-04033 15-48

15-5 Summary and Conclusions This section considers mixture level swell tests in three different facilities. The ORNL-THTF simulations showed that WCOBRATRAC-SB tends to predict both the collapsed liquid level in the test bundle and the mixture level fairly well but in general overpredicts the level swell. The G-1 Core Uncovery Tests simulations showed the WCOBRA(rRAC-SB predictions of boiloff to a given elevation ranged both earlier than and later than the data. The code predictions of bundle level swell are both less and greater than that reported in the data, but most often are overstated. Finally, the simulations of the GE Vessel Blowdown Tests showed WCOBRArfRAC-SB, in general, overpredicts the reported voiding in the test vessel. The interfacial drag model contains a bias so that the mixture level is not "frothed" to the appropriate level. The simulated test facilities, on the average, overpredicted the void fraction in the bundle during flashing and/or boiloff, suggesting that the interfacial drag is too high.
]ac The use of a nominal value for YDRAG of 0.8 in the integral test facility simulations and in PWR calculations is supported by the WCOBRA[IRAC-SB predictions of G-1 and ORNL-THTF.

o\4384-non4384-15b.wpd:lb-04033 15-72 SECTION 16 LOOP SEAL CLEARANCE 16-1 Introduction The small break LOCA PIRT in Volume 1 of this document identifies the loop seal behavior as an important process affecting the evolution of the transient. This component, and its effect on the transient, is discussed in more detail below. The following sections assess the important phenomena occurring in the loop seal, the available experiments which quantify the phenomena, and the performance of WCOBRA/TRAC-SB in predicting the phenomena. During a small break LOCA, mass is slowly depleted from the system. Early in the transient, the pumps continue to run and the flow through the pump suction piping remains single-phase. After generation of a trip signal, the reactor automatically trips and subsequently the pumps. The system then enters a natural circulation phase. Pressures have fallen sufficiently to cause boiling in the fluid entering the hot leg, but the steam generator acts as a heat sink and the fluid entering the pump suction pipe is still nearly single-phase. Any bubbles that enter the pump suction pipe are carried through by natural circulation as illustrated in Figure 16-1(a). When the primary pressure approaches the secondary pressure, voids remain in the fluid as it enters the steam generator. As the loop mass flowrate decreases further, liquid begins to drain down both the uphill and downhill sides of the steam generator tubes. Natural circulation is terminated, and mixture levels form on both the uphill and downhill sides of the tubes. The levels then move downward as liquid drains and vapor rises as shown in Figure 16-1(b). Because there is no escape path for the steam generated in the core, except for some small bypass paths such as the upper head, the pressure in the region above the core (the upper plenum, the hot legs, and the steam generator tubes) rises and depresses the level in both the core and the downhill sides of the pump suction pipe. Eventually, the downhill side level reaches the top of the horizontal portion of the pump suction pipe, as shown in Figure 16-1(c), and vapor begins to escape into the pump and flow toward the break. At the onset of clearing, the fluid pressure in the downhill leg of the loop seal is about 3 psi higher than on the uphill side, due to the column of water from the horizontal leg to the pump outlet as shown in Figure 16-1(c). Because the volume of steam at this pressure is significant - in the steam generator tubes, hot legs, vessel upper plenum, and upper head - the steam flowing o.M4384-nonW4384-16.wpd:1b-04043 16-1
I through the pump suction becomes significantly greater than the core steam generation rate for a period of time (Kukita, 1990). This causes the loop seal to clear completely, not resealing until much later in the transient. As the steam flows through the pump suction, the flow regime is first a slug regime with significant amounts of water being entrained from the pump suction pipe as seen in Figure 16-2 and described by Tuomisto and Kajanto (Tuomisto and Kajanto, 1988). Eventually, a residual level of water will remain in the pump suction pipe. As the pressure in the system is relieved, the steam flow decreases to the core steam generation level. If this steam flow is low enough, water in the cold leg may begin to drain back through the pump and begin to fill the pump suction again as shown in Figure 16-1(d). Another potential source of loop seal refilling is the draining of condensed steam from the downhill side of the steam generators. Because there is no pressure driving force, the steam flow through the loop seal is quickly terminated when the water level reaches the top of the horizontal section and plugs the loop seal. The system pressure increases, and core and loop seal levels change once again as the loop seal plugging and clearing cycle is repeated (Kukita, 1990). 16-2 Important Physical Processes and Scaling Laws The onset of loop seal clearing is a function of the pressure difference across the loop seal, which depresses the level to the bottom of the loop seal and depends on the following factors:
- Core steam generation rate
- Bypass steam flow rate through vent paths
- Rate of accumulation of water in the pump suction pipe These factors are the result of processes that occur elsewhere in the system and are accounted for in other components (for example, the core steam generation rate is accounted for by ranging core power and core mixture level).
The loop seal clearing and refilling process is a function of the interfacial drag between the vapor and the water. The initial steam flow surge and the interfacial drag determine the rate at which water is expelled. The steam flowrate, in turn, depends on the loop pressure drop, of which the loop seal is a part. This determines how quickly the venting process takes place and the final water level in the horizontal section. The residual water and degree to which water is held up by steam flowing out of the pump suction pipe determine the rate at which the pump suction refills o:\4384-non\43B4-16.wpd:Ib-04043 16-2
and replugs. Based on these considerations, the following factors are considered to be important in the assessment of predictions of loop seal behavior:
- Overall loop seal pressure drop as a function of steam flow
- Liquid distribution in the loop seal as a function of steam flow Various experiments have shown that the basic physical process is controlled by two factors: the extent to which a stratified flow regime can be maintained in the horizontal leg of the loop seal and the degree to which liquid pushed into the downstream vertical leg can be entrained out of the loop seal. Figure 16-2 illustrates these processes.
Scaled loop seal experiments are discussed in the following sections to gain a better understanding of the loop seal behavior. These tests are used to highlight important physical and scaling features and are then compared with larger scale tests to confirm the indicated scaling trends. Finally, these tests are predicted using MYCOBRAJTRAC-SB to assess the models and correlations in the code. 16-2-1 Westinghouse Loop Seal Tests Westinghouse performed scaled U-tube experiments designed to examine the hydraulic behavior of a U-tube under conditions similar to those encountered during a small break LOCA. The vapor flow required to "clear" the U-tube was a specific focus of the tests. 16-2-1-1 Test Facility Description The tests were run in a plexiglass facility with air and water at atmospheric pressure. The facility, illustrated schematically in Figure 16-3, consists of a blower, a run of horizontal piping from the blower, a U-tube, and a catch tank. The pipe diameter chosen for the facility was 25 cm or 0.82 feet. This corresponds to approximately 1/3-geometric scale compared with a PWR, which has a pipe diameter of 2.58 feet. The air and water flowrates were scaled so that approximate similitude was maintained for the Froude number, shown to define the flow regime transition from stratified to intermittent and annular flow by Taitel and Dukler (Taitel and Dukler, 1976). Figure 16-4 shows the predicted flow regime transition using the Taitel and Dukler flow regime map for atmospheric pressure, 1/3-scale geometry, compared with the transition for 1000 psia, full-scale geometry. This figure indicates that the transition occurs at a higher vapor flux in the air-water o:\4384-non\43S4-16.wpd:lb-04043 16-3
tests. While better similitude could have been obtained with a smaller pipe, the chosen diameter also assures that the vertical pipes of the U-tube are sufficiently large so that any countercurrent flow limits (CCFL) that occur will not be affected by the pipe diameter. According to Richter (Richter, 198 1), the critical vapor flux for CCFL in pipes larger than approximately 2 inches in diameter depends only on pressure, not on pipe diameter. Pressure drop across the U-tube was measured. In the horizontal and in the downstream vertical sections, several independent measurements of void fraction were made using pressure drops, optical probes, and gamma densitometers. 16-2-1-2 Test Procedures Several tests series were performed, as described below: Limit Line Tests These tests were designed to obtain the water level in the horizontal portion of the U-tube, which produces significant water entrainment for a given air flowrate. This is equivalent in some ways to the CCFL limit and is termed the U-tube limit line. The tests were performed as follows:
- 1. Begin with an empty U-tube.
- 2. Start the air flow at the desired value.
- 3. Add water at the bottom of the horizontal pipe until significant entrainment into the catch tank is observed.
- 4. Terminate the water flow, and continue the test until the entrainment becomes negligible.
- 5. Measure flows and pressure drops.
- 6. Stop the air flow and measure the quiescent water level remaining in the pipe.
o:\4384-non\4354-16.wpd:lb-04043 16-4
* . Within Limit Line Tests These tests were performed at air and water flows inside the limit line established in the first phase with little or no entrainment. The tests primarily examined the interaction, if any, between the gas and the liquid at nonlimiting flows. The tests were run as follows:
- 1. Set the desired water level in the horizontal pipe with the air flow at zero.
- 2. Incrementally increase the air flow and take measurements.
- 3. Confirm that final level is approximately the same as the initial level.
In addition to flow and delta-p measurements, the appearance of the water level was observed. At low air flows, the water was either quiescent or small ripples were observed. At higher flows, the water began to drop near the upstream side of the U-tube. Next, droplets were observed forming and reaching the downstream elbow of the U-tube. At still higher flows, droplets began to reach the top of the downstream pipe, and finally, water was observed to stream upward in the downstream pipe.
- Optical Probe Tests These tests were performed similarly to the test series at conditions inside the limit line. Optical probes were used to measure the water level. These tests confirmed the delta-p measurements, later used to derive vapor fraction.
- Complementary Tests In some of the tests with high initial water level, oscillatory flow was observed.
These oscillations consisted of movements of water back and forth between the upstream and downstream elbows. Slugs of water momentarily filled the pipe, increasing the pressure drop across the U-tube. These slugs were then ejected from the U-tube. The tests were similar to the limit line tests except that continuous readings were taken during the oscillations and until steady-state was reached. o:\43&4-non\4384 16.wpd:1b4043 16-5
I
- Gamma Densitometer Tests These tests used a gamma densitometer to measure the mixture density inside the horizontal portion of the U-tube. The tests confirmed void fraction measurements based on delta-P.
16-2-1-3 Analysis of 1/3-Scale Test Results Figure 16-5 plots the normalized residual water level in the loop seal (H/D) as a function of the vapor volumetric flux (ii). The loop seal was completely cleared when gas velocities exceeded about 70 ft/s. At low gas flows, some hysteresis was observed; i.e., the residual water level remaining after the test depended on how the test was performed. The lower levels shown in Figure 16-5 were obtained when the test was started with an initial water level above the top of the horizontal leg. This configuration introduced level oscillations between both vertical legs. These oscillations caused additional water to be entrained from the loop seal. Figure 16-6 shows the results of tests performed under the limit line. The water level in the horizontal leg was relatively unaffected by gas flow until flows near the limit line were reached. The residual water level is an indication of the overall liquid mass contained in the loop seal as a function of gas flow, but does not represent the liquid distribution within the U tube during the tests. Figure 16-7 shows the average void fraction at the midpoint of the horizontal leg and in the downstream vertical leg during the test. At low gas flowrates, there is wide scatter in the measured void fraction in the horizontal leg and indications of significant liquid content in the downstream vertical leg. The void fraction in the vertical leg was inferred from a delta-P cell spanning the vertical leg (P, 5 in Figure 16-3). The flow regime in the vertical leg is, therefore, likely to be that depicted in Figure 16-2C with a low void fraction region at the bottom of the pipe, and a high void fraction at the top of the pipe. The measured void fraction in the horizontal leg is more representative of the void fraction in the elbow and bottom of the vertical leg. Figure 16-8 compares the measured void fraction in the horizontal leg with the void fraction calculated from the residual water level. This plot shows that at higher gas flows, nearly all the water retained in the loop seal resides in the horizontal leg. At lower gas flows, the same is still generally true, although the storage in the vertical leg is more evident due to the higher measured void fraction during the test. o:\4384-non\438416.wpd:1b04043 16-6
Figure 16-9 shows the measured pressure difference between the upstream and downstream exits of the U-tube. As water collects in the downstream vertical leg, the pressure difference increases. The basic processes occurring during these tests can be explained in terms of several hydrodynamic limits applied to both the horizontal and vertical legs. Figure 16-10 shows the horizontal leg average void fraction as a function of i*, defined as: Jg = (16-1) (pj-pg)gD Pg where D is the pipe diameter. The loop seal behavior can be explained in terms of three regimes, bounded by the limit lines shown in Figure 16-10. These regimes are described in the following paragraphs. Regime III: Droplet Entrainment Ishii and Grolmes (Ishii and Grolmes, 1975) describe entrainment in horizontal cocurrent flow as the stripping of drops from the tops of waves. They describe four mechanisms: 1) the shearing off of the top of roll waves by the turbulent gas flow, 2) the undercutting of the liquid film by the gas flow, 3) the gas bubbles bursting at the liquid-vapor interface, and 4) the liquid impingement on the liquid-vapor interface. The only mechanism of the four expected to be of significance to loop seal clearing is the shearing off of the tops of the waves, which Ishii and Grolmes state is valid for liquid Reynolds numbers greater that 160 in horizontal cocurrent flow. Assuming for the moment that the WCOBRA/TRAC-SB calculations reported herein are reasonably valid, the horizontal (GAP) liquid velocities during entrainment vary from less than 1 ft/s to several ft/s. The liquid film thickness is then estimated to be from about 0.5 inch at 1000 psia to about 1 inch at 43 psia, and about 1.5 inches for air-water at atmospheric pressure. For roll wave entrainment, Ishii and Grolmes provide two correlations based on the Reynolds number. o\4384-non\4384-16.wpd:lb-04043 16-7
I For Reynolds numbers greater than [ ]a,c the following applies: ____g 0 8 fUgt, 2 N 1 for N < - Pu 15(16-2) IIUg' g Ž0.1146 for N > 1 Inequality 16-2 is valid in the rough turbulent regime. For Reynolds numbers below [ a (laminar-turbulent transition regime), Ishii suggests the following correlation: PjUg .2 Ž11.78N- Re, for N ( p1 Pi 15 (16-3) plug 2Ž1.35Re, 3 for N,> - The Reynolds number is calculated based on the liquid film thickness where ug is the minimum gas velocity for entrainment to occur. The gas velocity can be represented in terms of a more easily measured velocity, the superficial gas velocity (): ig =aU (164) As droplets are entrained into the downstream vertical leg, they are ejected out of the loop seal because the gas flow exceeds the CCFL in the vertical pipe. This limit is described further in Regime II. o:\4384-nonW384-16.wpd:1b-04163 16-8
Regime II: Wave Instability and Vertical CCFL Regime In this regime, the water level in the horizontal leg is govemed by the stability of waves on the stratified interface. If these waves grow, they could span the pipe, as illustrated in Figure 16-2(b), and cause a slug of water to be pushed into the downstream vertical leg as seen in Figure 16-2(c). The water level or void fraction at the onset of wave instability was characterized by Taitel and Dukler (Taitel and Dukler, 1976). They proposed the following criterion: 2 3
.*2 (1-h) -*2 - )a -da/dh H= (16-5)
D a = ![cos1(2A-l)-(27-1) I-(2h-1)2] where the relationship between void fraction and level is deternined by the pipe geometry. The third line of Equation 16-5 describes the relationship for a circular pipe. The limit line shown in Figure 16-10 is Equation 16-5, solved for a as a function of j. The data follow this linit in Region II. If the gas flow in the downstream vertical leg still exceeds the flooding linit, then any water pushed into the vertical leg by wave instabilities will be ejected from the loop seal. The CCFL limit line shown in Figure 16-10 is based on the critical velocity for liquid holdup (known as the Kutateladze number) developed by Pushkina and Sorokin (Pushkina and Sorokin, 1969) for large diameter pipes: UCCFL = 3.2 g (16-6) Pg Thej, versus a relationship is determined as in Equation 16-4. o:\4384-non\4384.16.wpd:1b-04043 16-9
Regime I: Slug/Oscillatory Regime When gas velocities are reduced below the CCFL, water pushed into the vertical leg collects there and can fall back. This leads to a low void fraction, chaotic regime in which there is wide scatter in measured void fraction at constant gas flow as seen in Figure 16-11. Hysteresis is also observed in this regime with variations in residual water level depending on how the tests are performed. This hysteresis is caused by U-tube oscillations, which are the result of intermittent holdup and fallback in the vertical leg as the flow regime changes from slug to chum-turbulent. 16-2-14 Effect of Scale An important question which must be answered is what distortions the scaled geometry and low pressure used in these tests has introduced relative to the PWR. Having explained the data in terms of the limit lines above, we can examine the effect of scale by seeing how these limit lines change with scale (Figure 16-12). Here, the limit lines at 1/3-scale are compared to the limit lines at full-scale at the same (atmospheric) pressure and with air-water. The wave limit line is constant with respect to . For the same , however, the entraining and CCFL limit lines move to the left, and flow regime II[ becomes more important over a wider range ofj;. Figure 16-13 shows what happens when the full-scale pressure of 1000 psia is also introduced. Although it is. expected that both the critical entrainment and critical CCFL velocities will decrease with pressure, the entrainment velocity calculated from Equation 6-2 becomes very small (less than 1 ft/s), indicating this correlation may not be valid at high pressure. In Figure 16-13, it has been assumed that the entrainment limit is the same as the CCFL limit, calculated by Equation 16-5. The limit line has moved even further to the left, and the droplet and CCFL lines have effectively merged. This would indicate that a full pressure and full-scale, the most dominant regimes are I and IIM This implies that over a fairly narrow range of steam flows, the liquid in the loop seal will be almost completely expelled, and that the wave instability limit does not play an important role in determining the amount of water contained in the loop seal. Full-scale air/water experiments were carried out at the IVO test facility simulating PWRs of Russian design (Tuomisto, 1988). These tests were performed in a manner similar to the Westinghouse tests. It was found that the Taitel-Dukler unstable wave theory predicted the onset of slugging in the U-tube (in the Westinghouse tests, this would correspond to the point at which significant water entrainment occurred; that is, at the limit line), particularly when the water level was adjusted to account for the increased level at the downstream elbow of the U-tube. o:\4384-nonW438 4 -16.wpd:Ib-04043 16-10
Figure 16-14 plots the full-scale U-Tube data against the corresponding limit lines. It can be seen that the data lies entirely to the left of the CCFL limit line. This behavior is different from the 1/3-scale test, and is believed due to the large U-tube oscillations which occurred in most of the large scale tests. These oscillations, which were attributed to undesirable air blower operating characteristics (see next section), pushed water into the downstream vertical leg, which was then ejected from the loop seal. This process continued until sufficient water was ejected to allow the gas velocity to fall below the CCFL limit, at which point the oscillations stopped and no more mass was lost out of the loop seal. These results indicate that if the loop seal behavior is oscillatory, the dominant mechanism controlling the amount of water in the loop seal is vertical leg CCFL. 16-2-1-5 Full-Scale Steam-Water Tests Tests were performed at full-scale for a typical four-loop PWR in the Upper Plenum Test Facility (UPTF) at pressures of 3 bar (43.5 psia) and 15 bar (217.5 psia). The separate effects tests (Liebert and Emmerling, 1998) were conducted by blocking three of the four loops as seen in Figure 16-15, partially filling the loop seal in the open loop, injecting steam into the reactor vessel simulator, and measuring the residual level once entrainment had completed, but before the steam flow was terminated. The published data from the two test series are shown in Figure 16-16 (Liebert and Emmerling, 1998 and Ohvo, et al., 1998). A line is drawn through the data that represents a constant average gas velocity as seen in Figure 16-16. This velocity is the best estimate of the minimum velocity at which entrainment from the liquid surface will take place within the horizontal section of the loop seal and is independent of the level in the horizontal run. Also shown is the Taitel-Dukler line for transition from slug to entrained flow. Liebert and Emmerling note that slugging was observed only at the lowest Froude number in each test series. Otherwise, the flow was observed to be stratified. The calculated critical gas velocities are 60 ft/s and 32 ft/s for the 3-bar and 15-bar test series, respectively. Using the above critical velocities and calculated viscosity numbers and the critical velocity from the Westinghouse air-water tests (Figure 16-10), the results can be compared to Ishii's correlation as shown in Figure 16-17 (Ishii and Grolmes, 1975). The UPTF and Westinghouse data lie well below the data base upon which Ishii's correlation was constructed. While the loop seal data lie close to the correlation, the data do not quite fit. If Ishii's correlation is used to deterrine the critical gas velocity, the lines of constant velocity are as shown in Figure 16-16. For this case, the lines of constant velocity collapse to what is in effect a single line and are not representative o:\43S4-non\43S4-16.wpd:lb-04163 16-1 1
- l~~~~~~~~~~
of the data. However, as shown in Figure 16-17, the UPTF data lie on approximately a line of constant Ishii parameter equal to 0.0033. The deviation in the UPTF data from the Ishii and Grolmes correlation might be explained as a scale effect that is not included in the correlation. Because the UPTF data are at full geometric scale, these data are believed to be more reliable. The viscosity number (6.3 x 10') for full pressure (about 70 bar) lies between the viscosity numbers at 3 bar and 15 bar. Therefore, the Ishii correlation is modified to become constant for viscosity numbers less than [ Using [
]a.C* The UPTF data may lie in the transition regime and not the rough turbulent regime. This may point to the reason for the wider spread in the data for the 3-bar test series as compared to the spread in the 15-bar test series.
16-3 WCOBRA/TRAC Modelling of Loop Seal Clearing Process The objective of this assessment is to confirm that the WCOBRA/TRAC-SB loop seal model adequately calculates the loop seal clearing process for a PWR. The assessment will be performed as follows: Model-scaled experiments to confirm that the interfacial drag models adequately predict the liquid distribution in the loop seal for various flowrates
- Examination of the effect of changes in scale on the predicted results 16-4 WCOBRAITRAC Simulation of the UPTF 3-Bar and 15-Bar Tests The two UPTF full-scale steam-water tests are worthy of simulation. The separate effects tests were conducted by blocking three of the four loops and injecting steam into the reactor vessel simulator as shown in Figure 16-15 (Liebert and Emmerling, 1998). The WCOBRAIIRAC model for the simulations has [
]. The noding in this model is sufficient for simulation of the UPTF tests.
o:\4384-non\4384-16.wpd:lb-04163 16-12
Initial conditions for the tests appear to have been subcooled liquid in the loop seal and a superheated steam supply (Ohvo, et al., 1998). It is expected that [ a.c Each of the test simulations is run separately, starting from the same initial conditions. The steam flowrate is increased from zero to the specified flowrate [
]ax The results of the 3-bar simulations are shown in Figure 16-19. The solid squares are the data values. At low vapor velocities, WCOBRAITRAC-SB over predicts the residual level. While there is a tendency to under predict the residual level at j* > 0.1. The calculations for the solid square cases to the left of the Ishii's entrainment limit line predict a sudden blowout of fluid from the pump suction leg as shown in Figures 16-20 and 16-21 at approximately 270 seconds. This behavior appears to result from the oscillation in the pump suction by building sufficient momentum to clear the liquid into the hot leg.
The results of the 3-bar calculations are summarized in Figure 16-22. WCOBRAfTRAC seriously over predicts the residual level for j < 0.1 and under predict the residual level for j > 0.1. The predicted behavior for the 15-bar tests compared to the data and limit line is shown in Figure 16-23. As with the 3-bar tests, WCOBRAfRAC-SB over predicts the data jg < 0.1 and under predicts the data for j > 0.1 with some variance in the transition region. However, there is less variance in the trend of both the data and calculations for 15-bar than for the 3-bar tests and calculations, as shown in both Figures 16-23 and 16-24. o:\4384-non\4384- 16.wpd:lb04163 16-13
I Although no data are known to exist for full-scale and approximately 1000 psia, WCOBRAIRAC-SB calculations were made using the UPTF model. As shown in Figure 16-24, the calculations follow the trend of the 15-bar calculations. It is reasonable to conclude that for 1000 psia WCOBRA/TRAC-SB will over predict residual level for j less than approximately 0.1 and underpredict residual levels forj >0.1. Measured pressure drops across the UPTF loop seal are shown in Figure 16-26a. The highest pressure drops occur forj <0.1 and then become approximately constant with increasing stean velocity. Also the magnitude of the observed differential pressure oscillations is significantly greater forj <0.1. The pressure drop calculated by WYCOBRAfRAC-SB is shown in-Figure 16-26b. The calculated pressure drops shown in Figure 16-26b represent averages over a 300 second slice of the transient. The calculations generally show the same trend with the pressure drops increasing below = 0.1 and approximately constant above j 0.1. However there are several significant exceptions to the general trend. The 3-bar calculations (open squares) designated 1, 2 and 3 represent cells where the liquid in the loop seal was overpredicted at low steam velocity and correspond to cases where the liquid level was underpredicted by WCOBRA/TRAC-SB. Calculations for 15-bar (solid triangles) marked 4 and 5 represent cases where significant liquid is retrained in the pump suction leg, which increases the flow resistance. Solid triangles designated 6 and 7 represent single phase steam flow. As with points 4 and 5 the calculated resistance is greater than implied by the data. The described variances in the calculations may well be attributed to [
]',. The calculations for 1000 psia (open diamonds) do not exhibit the variances noted for the 3-bar and 15-bar calculations. As shown in the data there is little effect of system pressure on the pressure drop, and that trend is observed in the calculations.
16-5 Conclusions Assessment of the experimental data indicates the following:
- Hysteresis and flow oscillations are likely to occur during the clearing process.
These oscillations will result in continued inventory loss from the loop seal until conditions fall below the CCFL in the vertical leg. Uncertainty in the remaining mass inventory of liquid in the loop seal will result in a corresponding uncertainty in the time at which the loop seal will possibly replug.
- Full-scale low pressure steam-water test data are consistent in trend with low pressure air-water test data, both for residual water level and pressure drop.

Assessment of WCOBRA/TRAC-SB relative to the experiments indicates the following:
- WCOBRA/IRAC-SB does not reproduce the observed flow oscillations or residual water level exactly. This deficiency can be accounted [

- WCOBRArIRAC-SB overpredicts the quantity of liquid cleared from the loop seal for high vapor flows. This may be attributed to [

- WCOBRArrRAC-SB adequately predicts the trend of the residual level data in full-scale tests.
- WCOBRA/TRAC-SB adequately predicts the trend of the pressure difference data.

SECTION 17 STEAM GENERATOR REGION HYDRAULICS MODELLING 17-1 Introduction Steam generator hydraulics is identified as one of the major processes affecting the small break LOCA transient (See Section 1, Volume 1, of this document). Early in a postulated small break LOCA event, the power generated in the core is removed to the secondary systems by heat transfer through the steam generator tubes. This primary to secondary heat transfer initiates several processes that occur in the steam generator and which are ranked high in the PIRT because they affect the small break LOCA transient. These important processes include steam generator primary side heat transfer; steam generator tube voiding and CCFL, which may occur in the tubes themselves andlor in the steam generator inlet plenum and hot leg piping; and primary side pressure drop associated with the two-phase mixture in the tubes. Validation of the WCOBRAI`RAC-SB computer code for the small break LOCA application should include a demonstration that the code adequately predicts steam generator hydraulic phenomena as follows:
- Flooding in the vertical tubes and horizontal tubes
- Possible flooding in the hot leg steam generator inlet plenum connection
- Condensation within the steam generator tubes for primary to secondary heat transfer
- Steam generator primary mass inventory
- Associated pressure drop as the RCS inventory decreases during a small break LOCA event Therefore, in this section, the performance of WCOBRAIRAC-SB is qualified against pertinent single-effects experimental data and analytic solutions for benchmark problems, and against the Natural Circulation (NC) test series experiments performed in the Semiscale facility.
o:\4384-non\4384-17.wpd:lb-04043 17-1
17-2 Physical Processes The natural circulation period of small break LOCA scenarios is in large measure determined by the steam generator hydraulics. The steam generator processes affect the rate of RCS depressurization, particularly for the smaller small break LOCAs, which in turn affects the break flowrate, the rate of safety injection flow into the RCS, the state of the RCS at the time of loop seal clearance, and ultimately the core mixture level depression. Condensation in the steam generator tubes not only removes the core decay power but also generates liquid mass within tubes. For the smaller small break LOCAs, an extended quasi-steady-state condition of nearly constant pressure occurs during which the core power is closely matched by the steam generator heat transfer to the secondary side. As system inventory decreases, eventually the steam generator tubes drain and the steam generator heat transfer reverses. During the natural circulation period, condensate in the uphill portion of the steam generator tubes may possibly be carried into the steam generator outlet plenum in cocurrent flow or drain countercurrently into the steam generator inlet plenum. The prediction of CCFL in the vertical steam generator tubes determines whether any liquid from the steam generator uphill can proceed to drain into the steam generator inlet plenum. Furthernore, CCFL in the hot leg connection at the steam generator inlet could potentially prevent the steam generator liquid from drawing back into the hot legs, where it may contribute to the vessel upper plenum inventory. The steam generator hydraulic behavior affects not only the pressure drop in the steam generator but also the timing and nature of the loop seal clearing. Consideration of steam generator hydraulics in the context of the overall mass distribution in the RCS is important. The Semiscale NC test series experiments are similar in design and execution to those conducted in other test facilities; they covered a range of single- and two-phase conditions with a regulated system coolant inventory. Predictions of test results from the Semiscale NC series are compared to such parameters as flow versus system mass inventory as the RCS is drained and transitions between two-phase flow and heat transfer modes. o:\4384-non\4384-17.wpd:Ib-04043 17-2
17-3 CCFL Modelling in WCOBRA/TRAC-SB 17-3-1 Introduction The CCFL is associated with the process of restricting liquid flow by counterflowing vapor due to interphasic drag forces. For example, liquid downflow in a pipe under the influence of gravity becomes unstable with increasing vapor upflow and eventually flows together with the vapor. Thus, stable countercurrent conditions can exist only within a certain range. The boundary of this range is recognized as the CCFL. This type of phenomenon can also exist in a horizontal stratified flow. CCFL can occur in several locations in the PWR during the small break LOCA. CCFL may occur in the U-tubes of a steam generator. Inside the reactor vessel, the liquid inside the upper head can be prevented from downflow by steam flow inside the guide tubes. The liquid in the upper plenum may be held up at the upper core plate or upper fuel tie plates by upflowing steam from the core. The focus of this section is the predictive capability of the multidimensional vessel hydrodynamics models for CCFL. In Section 17-3-2, the CCFL in a vertical pipe is evaluated with saturated liquid and steam at 1000 psia. In Section 17-3-3, the CCFL on a perforated plate is evaluated with saturated liquid and steam at 1000 and 35 psia. The geometry of the plate (perforation ratio and thickness) simulates, at small scale, the upper tie plates in a PWR. The computed results are compared with Northwestern test data (Hsieh, et al., 1980). In Section 17-3-4, CCFL of horizontal stratified flow is computed and the results are compared with available correlations. 17-3-2 CCFL in a Vertical Channel 17-3-2-1 Vertical WCOBRA,TRAC Channel Model Flooding in a pipe has been studied with a TRAC 1-D component (Takeuchi and Young, 1983 and Takeuchi, et al., 1992). In this section, the prediction of pipe flooding with the WCOBRArRAC 3-D vessel fluid models is assessed. The purpose is to evaluate the interphase flow model, which is applied to several locations in the vessel such as support columns and guide tubes, and to compare predictions to classical flooding relationships. o:\4384-non\4384-17.wpd:lb-04043 17-3
I Figure 17-1 illustrates the WCOBRAfIRAC model for pipe flooding computations. [
]aC All of the computations use saturated steam/water mixtures and saturated steam/subcooled water.
The computational experiment to generate the flooding curve proceeds as follows. Liquid is injected into channel 9 at a constant rate. After a steady liquid downflow into the bottom tank is established, steam is injected from channel 4 at a gradually increasing rate. At the beginning, a countercurrent condition is observed with steam flowing up through channels 4, 5, and 6, and separated via channel 7 into the pressure boundary condition in channel 8. By increasing steam flowrate and by maintaining a constant liquid injection rate, the magnitude of the liquid downflow through channels 5 and 4 is reduced. Eventually, liquid downflow is prevented by steam upflow. This experiment is repeated for several constant liquid flowrates. The cases studied included the following conditions:
- Liquid is injected from the top of the test section at constant flowrates as shown in Table 17-1.
- For each case in Table 17-1, after a steady-state was established for 80 seconds with falling water but no vapor counterflow, vapor is injected and gradually increased to maintain quasi-steady conditions. Vapor is injected from the bottom of the test section with a linearly increasing rate as shown in Table 17-2.
o:\4384-non\4384-17.wpd:lb-04043 17-4
Computed steam (g) flowrates and liquid (f) flowrates through channel 5 are plotted in a ( J)1/2 versus ( )If2 coordinate system, where the dimensionless volumetric fluxes are defined by: jg j [Pg/g Dh AP] 1 (17-1) and j; is similarly defined with subscript g replaced by f. All the calculations exhibited similar behavior. A typical calculation (Case 3 in Table 17-1) is described as follows.
]a.c Figure 17-5 shows the vapor versus liquid mass flows at several time intervals. These flows are then converted to and if, using Equation 17-1, and plotted along with the Wallis flooding curve (Wallis, 1969), Equation 17-5 in Figure 17-6. This comparison shows that the flooding limit is not violated even in the presence of flow oscillations.
The results for several cases at high pressure are shown in Figure 17-7a, which plots the square root of the fluxes. Each symbol represents a jf I jg pair taken from the WCOBRAfIRAC run. The fanily of symbols (Figure 17-7b) indicates how the liquid downflow is reduced as the vapor upflow is increased (some of the oscillatory points have been removed for clarity). A straight line drawn through the upper bound of these points is regarded as the CCFL predicted by WCOBRAJTRAC. o:\4384-non\4384-17.wpd:lb4O4043 1775
I 17-3-2-2 Predicted CCFL at High Pressure For the pipe model evaluation, the system pressure is 1000 psia, a representative pressure for the draining of steam generator tubes during a small break LOCA event. Both liquid and steam are assumed to be saturated. The countercurrent flow conditions at various points are plotted as: 1 2 Y =[jg]I (17-2) x = [*]2 / C (17-3) in Figure 17-7b. In this coordinate system, the Wallis flooding correlation (Wallis, 1969) becomes: x + y =1 (174) the straight line shown in the plots. The figures clearly indicate the existence of a flooding limit approximately defined by: (j)12 + ( )l/2 =C (17-5) with C = 1. In the case of the TRAC 1-D pipe model, which was previously studied by Takeuchi and Young (Takeuchi and Young, 1983), the predicted flooding curve was at C = 0.726. In the vessel component pipe model, the interphasic drag force is somewhat weaker and leads to a higher flooding limit. However, pipe flooding data typically lie between 0.9 < C < 1.0 (Wallis, 1969). 17-3-3 CCFL in a Perforated Plate CCFL in a perforated plate has been tested and analyzed by Hsieh (Hsieh, et al., 1980). The geometry of the perforated plates approximately simulated the geometry of a fuel assembly top nozzle (or upper tie plate). The tests were conducted with air/water and steam/water systems. The air/water experiment was designed to investigate the effects of geometric factors on CCFL. The steam/water tests investigated subcooling effects on the CCFL. Air/water test data are o:\4384-non\4384-17.wpd:lb04043 17-6
analyzed in this section with a 15-hole perforated plate that most closely simulated the upper tie plate. The analyses were performed with the WCOBRAIIRAC code for a saturated steam/ saturated water system at high pressure (1000 psia) and at low pressure (35 psia). The low pressure condition approximates the vapor density in the air/water test at atmospheric conditions so that the computed results can be compared with the test data. In Section 17-3-3-1, the CCFL at a perforated plate is described. The computed CCFL at high pressure is developed in Section 17-3-3-2. The computed CCFL at 35 psia is compared with the test data in Section 17-3-3-3. 17-3-3-1 Correlations and Scaling for CCFL in a Perforated Plate Various scaling methods and the correlations associated with them are described below: Northwestern (H) Scaling Hsieh (Hsieh, et al., 1980) developed a scaling parameter similar to the one used by Wallis (Wallis, 1969) to define a nondimensional volumetric flux, which is referred to here as Northwestern scaling: h ig[Pg / g W Ap] 1 2 (17-6) where: W8 D [aig Ap]2 (17-7) and where Dh is the hole diameter and is defined as: a - tanh{k Dh Ah /AT} (17-8) for the perforation ratio Ah IAT (hole area divided by total plate area) and a wave number defined by: k -2,t (17-9) where t is the thickness of the plate and h for the liquid phase is similarly defined. o-.14384-non\4384-17.wpd:lb-04043 17-7
With these dimensionless volumetric fluxes, the test data for CCFL in the perforated plates were correlated by Hsieh to yield: .t,, h; 1/2 + h 1/2 = C (17-10) where: C = min (2.0, 1.07 + 0.004332 LI) LI = n7r D [ gp/a]1/2 and n is the number of holes. One way to examine Northwestern scaling is to compare it to other scaling methods as discussed below. Wallis (J*) Scaling

- (D /K2)12 (17-14) where K is the critical Kutateladze number that approaches KOVbF at small diameters, and K,, at large diameters, respectively. That is:
19 - jKo as D - O (17-15)
- kg1K as D -
where Ko = 0.645 and K = 3.2. Similar relationships hold for the liquid phase. For a given plate thickness (t), the Northwestern scaling approaches the following linits:

I 17-3-3-2 WCOBRAITRAC Results A WCOBRAITRAC analysis of the test data was performed; the test case selected was the 15-hole plate with the following dimensions ffCOBRA/TRAC-SB produces approximately the same results): Dh = 0.413 in. t = 0.787 in. AT = 4.726 in2 Ah = 2.013 in2 Al/AT = 0.4260 The WCOBRA/TRAC analysis was initially performed for the large break LOCA application (Bajorek, et al., 1992). Given these dimensions, C 2.0 is used for both 1000 and 35 psia. This approximates the typical dimensions in a PWR or LOFT fuel assembly (tie plate). The WCOBRA/TRAC model used to predict the CCFL for the perforated plate is shown in Figure 17-8. Channels 1 through 3 simulate a large tank receiving falling water. Channel 4 is a large diameter pipe section where vapor is injected. Channel 5, representing the region directly above the plate holes, has the area of the holes in the plate, the hydraulic diameter of the hole, and the gap geometry obtained by assuming that the holes are projected as channels into the space above the plate. This modelling is similar to that used in the CCFL and upper plenum regions of the PWR. Channel 6 is the space above the solid portion of the plate. Channel 7 is a bridge for the countercurrent flow carried into the constant pressure boundary condition in channel 8. Cells 2 and 3 of channel 7 are isolated and inactive. Channel 9 is the top of the test section where liquid is uniformly injected. Gaps for lateral flow are also indicated with numbers enclosed by circles. The lower half of gaps 4 and 5 are blocked. The computational experiment is performed in the same manner as the previous study. The saturated liquid is injected at a constant rate over an entire transient. After 30 seconds or so, when a steady-state is reached, steam is gradually injected at a linearly increasing rate. When the steam injection rate is low, all the falling liquid passes through the perforated plate and settles in the large tank at the bottom. The injected steam flows up through the perforated plate channel 5, and then through channels 6 to 8 into the constant pressure sink. As the steam injection rate increases, the amount of falling liquid becomes less and the residual liquid accumulates in channel 6, which then overflows into channel 8. Eventually, falling liquid is shut off, and the o:4384-nonM4384-17.wpd: lb-04043 17-10
accumulated liquid flows into channel 8 together with injected steam. The computed liquid and steam flowrates are expressed in terms of the Northwestern dimensionless flowrates (h; and h and then the values are plotted in the coordinate system: g versus h C C The results are shown in Figures 17-9 and 17-10 for different liquid injection rates under a system pressure of 35 psia. Saturated steam and liquid in 35 psia simulate air/water under the atmospheric condition. For both cases, the computed flow states are bounded by the Northwestern flooding limit. For a higher system pressure, such as 1000 psia, similar results can be seen in Figure 17-11, but the flooding linit seems to be slightly more severe than lower pressure. P.c o:.4384-nonW43S4-17.wpd:Ib-04043 17-1 1
In the comparisons that follow, the results are presented in terms of the Northwestem scaling parameters. 17-3-3-3 WCOBRAJTRAC MOD7 Results The predicted countercurrent fluxes are shown in Figure 17-14 in nondimensional form for 1000 psia as calculated using WCOBRA/TRAC MOD7. Similarly, the results at 35 psia are shown in Figure 17-15. The countercurrent flow conditions at various points are plotted in an x-y coordinate system as: Y = [h;]112IC (17-18) x = [h *]" 2 /C As described previously, each point on the figure represents conditions at a point in time as steam flow is gradually increased. The CCFL predicted by WCOBRAITRAC is approximately located by the tangent drawn as the dashed line. [c 17-3-3-4 Comparison with Data The MOD7 and MOD7A results can be compared with the test data (Hsieh, et al., 1980) for air/water at 14.7 psia (Figure 17-16). The Northwestem flooding curve represents the midpoints of all the test data of all the cases. For the 17-hole case studied here (n = 15), the test data lie above the flooding curve as shown by the open squares in Figure 17-16. In conclusion, the WCOBRA/TRAC MOD7A predicted CCFL is slightly conservative relative to the test data. The WCOBRAITRAC MOD7A method is included in the WCOBRA/TRAC-SB version. 17-3-4 CCFL in a Horizontal Channel In a small break LOCA, substantial stratification of two-phase flows occurs. These and other problems in predicting two-phase flow phenomena have been summarized by Zuber (Zuber, 1980). Entrainment of liquid and/or vapor pull-through at a break located at the top, the side, or o:\4384-non\4384-17.wpd:lb-04043 17-12
the bottom of a horizontal pipe cannot be determined without a stratification model. The same problem exists in the hot leg at the pressurizer surgeline junction and at the steam generator inlet elbow, where flow stratification and CCFL in the hot leg must be predicted. In a large break LOCA, conditions in the loops are much more homogeneous due to the high fluid velocities. However, some stratification is likely in some regions of the reactor vessel, such as the upper core plate. In this section, the vessel model capability to predict liquid levels and flow transitions in horizontal flow is compared against flow regime transition correlations and weir flow models. 17-34-1 WCOBRITRAC Simulation of Horizontal Flow A horizontal 18-foot long pipe of a 3x3-foot square cross section was modelled with six horizontal channels and three cells in each channel, as illustrated in Figure 17-17. These dimensions approximate a PWR hot leg. The channels are connected laterally by gaps. Channel 10 has a dead-end at the left and a constant pressure boundary condition at the top. A pipe component is connected at the bottom of channel 9 to supply liquid. Steam is injected at the top of channel 5. The right end of channel 5, as shown in Figure 17-17, is connected to a large volume simulating a vessel region. The CCFL is obtained with saturated steam and liquid flowing initially in a countercurrent state. As steam flowrate is gradually increased, the liquid flow direction (initially from the injection point to the vessel) is eventually reversed. 17-34-2 Relation of Flooding Correlations to Slug Flow Regime Transition Models The CCFL in a horizontal pipe was originally considered by Wallis (Wallis, 1969). He defined the flooding curve as a bounding condition of Long's equation for existence of a solitary wave (Long, 1956). Using a similar basis of an instability condition of a solitary wave, Taitel and Dukler (Taitel and Dukler, 1976) and also Wallis and Dobson (Wallis and Dobson, 1973) studied the flow regime transition from a stratified flow to a slug flow. The conditions for these two events are mathematically the same, but the expressions given for the phase transition are different from those used to define the flooding curves. In this section, the two events are related and the formula for the flow regime transitions are translated to the flooding curves for the stratified flow in a circular pipe and a square channel. These translated flooding curves and the Long-Wallis flooding curve are also compared in the next section.

compared in Section 17-34-3. The predicted water levels in the channel are also compared with results from the weir flow model (Wallis and Dobson, 1973) in Section 17-3-4-4. L; Wallis derived a flooding model for a horizontal stratified flow by identifying the bounding condition of Long's equation for a stratified wave in a channel. In accommodating other correlations and theories, the more general form is assumed:
. *2 *2 if + jg = 2 (17-19)
(1 - a)' a" as the drift flux relation, where dimensionless volumetric flux for steam is defined by: ig = jg [pg/g Dh Ap]lf2 (17-20) wherejg is the volumetric flux, Dh is the hydraulic diameter, g is the acceleration of gravity, P is the steam density, and ap = pf - Pg. The dimensionless volumetric flux (f ) for liquid is similarly defined with the liquid density (pf). Equation 17-19 with c = 1 and v = 3 becomes the Long-Wallis equation which represents a family of ellipses in the ( ji;)-plane. The derivative of this equation with respect to void fraction a:
. *2 *2 if j_ = 0 (17-21)
(-a)" I1 a+ yields a family of curves tangent to the above family of ellipses. The flooding curves are obtained from these two equations by eliminating the void fraction (a). Eliminating jf from Equations 17-19 and 17-21 yields the expression: g= c (17-22) o:\4384-non\4384-17.wpd:lb-04043 17-14
The flooding curve is:
) 2 /(v+ 1) + (j)2/(v+1) = C2(v1) (17-23)
The drift flux relation for a vertical flow in the (j; j) coordinate system is a straight line for a given void fraction. Equation 17-19 gives the drift flux relation for a horizontal flow, which forms a farmily of ellipses as a is varied, as shown in Figure 17-18. The first quadrant is for the cocurrent flow, and the second quadrant, for countercurrent flow. The envelope in the first quadrant defines the flow regime transition. The flow regime outside the envelope can no longer be a horizontal stratified flow but a slug, intermittent, or annular dispersed flow. The envelope in the second quadrant is the flooding limit beyond which no countercurrent flow state exists. Both conditions for the flow regime transition and the flooding point have been derived mathematically based on the same process of wave instability. The flow regime transitions are expressed in the form of Equation 17-22. Once the flow regime transition is identified, the coefficients c and v are determined for the flooding relationship of Equation 17-21. Specific applications of the above equations are described in the following examples: Taitel-Dukler Flow Regime Transition in a Circular Pipe The Taitel-Dukler transition from horizontal stratified flow to intermittent and annular dispersed liquid flow regimes (Taitel and Dukler, 1976, Equation 23) can be expressed as: i > C2 a3 n [ 4 dAL (17-24) where C2 = 1 - hL/D and AL and hL are the liquid flow area and the liquid level, respectively. For a circular pipe, this is a complicated expression of a, which can be approximated to yield: [
]aC (17-25) o:\4384-non\4384-17.wpd:lb-04043 17-15
Therefore, in Equation 17-22, c = I and v = 5. The flooding curve of Equation 17-21 becomes: (jJ)11 + ( = 1 (17-26) Taitel-Dukler Flow Regime Transition in a Circular Pipe with C2 = 0.5 In the Taitel-Dukler transition formula, the factor C2 can be set to 0.5 as in Wallis and Dobson (Wallis and Dobson, 1973), which is discussed below. In this case, the transition condition can be approximated by: g = 0.55 a2 (17-27) therefore, c = 0.55 and v = 3, and the flooding curve of Equation 17-23 becomes: (jf)1 /2 + (j') 1 1 2 = 0.742 (17-28)
- Wallis-Dobson Transition in a Square Channel After a series of tests, Wallis and Dobson derived the flow regime transition formula in a similar expression:
jg = 0.5a 15 (17-29) In this case, therefore, c = 0.5 and v = 2 and the flooding curve of Equation 17-23 becomes: (Jj) 2 ' 3 + j) 2 '3 = 0.707 (17-30) These flooding curves are shown in Figure 17-19. The three flooding curves are approximately the same, especially at the middle point, a = 0.5. o:\4394-non\4384-17.wpd:lb-04043 17-16
The transition and the flooding curves are symmetric, consistent with the Taitel-Dukler approximation that the interfacial force is dependent only on the steam velocity, ignoring the interface velocity. The Long-Wallis flooding curve (Wallis, 1969) is shown as curve 4 in Figure 17-19. Their flooding curve is derived from Long's wave equation, which is based on the velocity potential theory for a stratified flow. The Taitel-Dukler phase transition correlations takes into account the interphasic forces as well as fluid wall forces. Therefore, the two phases are more strongly coupled in the Taitel-Dulder correlation than they are in the Long-Wallis correlation. The Wallis-Dobson correlation in curve 3 is derived from the test data, and obviously, these forces are in effect. 17-3-4-3 Predicted Horizontal CCFL at High Pressure The CCFL predicted by WCOBRA/TRAC-SB for the model shown in Figure 17-17 was obtained as follows. Initially, the entire system is filled with saturated steam at 1000 psia. A transient calculation begins with injection of saturated liquid at a constant rate. After a steady-state of liquid flowing into the container is established, saturated steam is injected. The injected steam flows out of the system at the pressure boundary. This forms a countercurrent state. The steam injection rate is gradually increased so that a quasi-steady-state is maintained throughout the computation. With a constant liquid injection rate ranging from 70 to 650 lbm/sec, the predicted countercurrent conditions are shown by circles in Figure 17-20. For a given liquid injection flowrate, the predicted conditions are linked by lines as steam flow is increased. Although the lowest point shows a fnite steam flowrate, the steam injection rate is zero; the steam flow shown is the steam in the large vessel volume displaced by the liquid flowing into the vessel. As the steam injection rate increases, the circles move upward and turn along the flooding curve. Eventually, the liquid flow direction is reversed, and both liquid and steam flow out of the system through the pressure boundary at the top of channel 10. The predicted flow states agree well with the flooding constraints defined by the transition curves. At low values ofjf (high void fraction), the flooding linit is underpredicted, possibly because the 3-cell model cannot resolve the liquid level accurately. o:\4384-non\4384-17.wpd:lb-04043 17-17
I A sensitivity study was conducted to find stability in the above results by varying the number of cells per channel, by changing the length of the pipe, and then by changing the channel length. The computed results were quite stable as long as the number of cells is greater than one and the channel length (or horizontal cell spacings) remains approximately the size of the pipe diameter. 17-3-4-4 Predicted Water Level Before steam was injected in the computational experiments described in the previous section, a steady-state liquid flow was established through the square channel into the vessel. The liquid fractions computed in each cell are shown in Table 17-3. The equivalent water levels are also shown. It is evident that realization of horizontal stratified flow is predicted. The predicted water levels are compared with the weir flow level (Shames, 1982), no, given by: qT = Dg 2 (2/3 n0 )3 /2 (17-31) for the total volumetric flowrate (qT), the width of the crest (D), and the acceleration of gravity (g). The weir flow level calculations and results for each flowrate are shown in Table 17-3. The water levels predicted with the WCOBRA/TRAC code agree reasonably well near the channel exit (channel 6) with the weir flow calculations over the entire range of flowrates considered. 17-4 CCFL in Hot Leg-to-Steam Generator Flow Path 17-4-1 Introduction During a small break LOCA, the amount of countercurrent flow in the hot legs of a PWR is important in determining the inner reactor vessel mixture level response. One factor influencing the countercurrent flow in the hot leg is the potential for countercurrent flow at the hot leg-to-steam generator inlet plenum connection. If the amount of steam generated in the core by decay heat is large enough, liquid flow from the steam generator inlet plenum to the hot leg may be inhibited. The potential for liquid holdup (flooding) in the hot leg-to-steam generator inlet plenum connection during a small break LOCA is considered in this section. o:\4384-non\4384-17.wpd:lb-04043 17-18
174-2 Physical Processes Figure 17-21 depicts the PWR geometry in the hot leg-to-steam generator inlet plenum connection region. Countercurrent flow at the steam generator tube inlet due to reflux condensation results in liquid falling from the tubes to the bottom of the steam generator inlet plenum where it will collect. The liquid then attempts to flow down the 45-degree incline which joins the steam generator inlet plenum to the horizontal section of the hot leg. Steam flow in the hot leg impinges upon the 45-degree incline and must change direction to flow into the steam generator inlet plenum. The interaction between the steam and liquid tends to restrict countercurrent flow for some steam flow conditions. The specific geometry of the hot leg and the steam generator inlet plenum can influence the countercurrent flow and flooding phenomenon. For instance, the inclination of the hot leg-to-steam generator inlet plenum connection has a complicated effect on flooding, as indicated by Tien and Liu (Tien and Liu, 1979), Hewitt (Hewitt, 1977), and Lee and Bankoff (Lee and Bankoff, 1982). Moreover, liquid entry effects described by Dukler and Smith (Dukler and Smith, 1979) in the steam generator inlet plenum may also influence the flooding phenomena in this region of a PWR. 17-4-2-1 Small-Scale Tests There have been several small-scale experiments (Wongwises, 1996; Ghiaasiaan, et al., 1994; Ohnuki, 1986; Ohnuki, et al., 1988; Wan, 1986; Siddiqui, et al., 1986; Kroleswki, 1980; and Richter, et al., 1978) that have studied countercurrent flow phenomena and flooding in geometric configurations, consisting of horizontal pipes connected to inclined (at various angles) vertical pipes or elbows as in the hot leg-to-steam generator geometry of a PWR. In these small-scale tests, the onset of flooding appears to coincide with interfacial wave instability and growth, which leads to water slug formation in the horizontal piping section, usually near the bend or elbow region. At lower liquid flowrates, the slugging occurs simultaneously with formation of a hydraulic jump near the bend or inclined region where the liquid flow transitions from super-critical to subcritical. At higher liquid flowrates, the water slug formation moves away from the bend (in the horizontal section) and the hydraulic jump is usually weaker or not present at all. This flooding pheonema has also been confirmed by Choi and No (Choi and No, 1995) in experimental studies of nearly horizontal pipes and Kawaji (Kawaji, et al., 1991) in experimental studies of flooding in vertical to inclined pipes. It was observed in these small-scale tests that the geometric configuration of the bend and vertical pipe section strongly influences the location of the hydraulic jump and the water slugging. Gas velocities associated with flooding in these o:\4384non\4384-17.wpd:b-04043 17-19
small-scale geometric configurations were also found to be well below those expected for countercurrent flow in vertical pipes alone. Based upon the small-scale test experience, a special CCFL model would seem to be needed for the hot leg-to-steam generator geometry. However, as discussed in the next section, this is not the case for the full-scale PWR geometry based upon the experimental results from full-scale (geometric) tests. 17-4-2-2 Large-Scale Tests There have been few large- or full-scale experiments for studying countercurrent flow and flooding in hot leg-to-steam generator geometries. While the experimental facility used by Richter was of a larger scale than the numerous small-scale experimental facilities, the UPTF is the only full-scale (geometric) experiment to study the countercurrent flow and flooding prototypic of the hot leg-to-steam generator geometry. The results of the full-scale UPTF test run 37, which is prototypical of PWR steam and liquid flowrates during reflux condensation during a small break LOCA, indicate that CCFL does not occur in the hot leg-to-steam generator flow path. All the water injected in the steam generator drained back into the hot leg unimpeded by the steam injected via the hot leg. Test run 38 of UPTF, which has twice the steam flowrate and three times the liquid injection rate as test run 37, also shows virtually no impedence of water drainback either because 98 percent of the water injected in the steam generator during this test run drains into the hot leg. It takes test run 39, which has nearly three times the steam and three times the liquid injection rate as test run 37, to approach the flooding limit (84 percent of the water drains into the hot leg). Analysis performed by Wang and Mayinger (Wang and Mayinger, 1995) for UPTF test results also supports that no CCFL occurs during reflux conditions in the PWR, as margin to the flooding limit is shown when data from test runs 37 and 38 are plotted against the Richter flooding correlation for the hot leg-to-steam generator geometry. Work by de Bertodano (de Bertodano, 1994), in which a flooding correlation was developed from scaled test data, further supports that flooding is precluded in the hot leg-to-steam generator flow path for a less than 4-percent decay heat power condition in a four-loop PWR. 174-3 Conclusion Based upon the full-scale UPTF test results, CCFL is not expected to occur in the hot leg-to-steam generator geometry during the reflux condensation phase of a small break LOCA, when it o\4384-non\4384-17.wpd:lb-04043 17-20
might possibly be important. Therefore, no special flooding models (beyond those discussed in this section for horizontal and vertical piping flooding) are needed to handle the hot leg-to-steam generator geometry in WCOBRAfl'RAC-SB. 17-5 WCOBRA/TRAC-SB Modelling of Wall Condensation The WCOBRATRAC-SB code calculates wall condensation heat transfer, based on the void fraction of the fluid cell in contact with the wall, as discussed in Section 4 of this document. The correlation of Shah (Shah, 1979) is applied at void fractions [ ]'. For void fractions [ ]C, the heat transfer coefficient computed using Shah is ramped into the heat transfer coefficient from the EPRI correlation (EPRI, 1988). At void fractions exceeding [ . 17-6 Steam Generator Tube Condensation During a smaller size small break LOCA event, the RCS primary depressurizes to an equilibrium pressure slightly above the steam generator secondary side pressure. The primary RCS pressure equilibrates for a time at the pressure at which the primary fluid volume swells due to decay heat and pumped safety injection equals the primary fluid volume shrinkage due to mass lost through the break and through primary to secondary heat transfer. Initially, a small cold leg break is incapable of compensating for the safety injection and decay heat induced fluid volume swell. Primary to secondary heat transfer results and the steam generator secondary side conditions determine the equilibration pressure. Three modes of primary to secondary heat transfer that occur depending on the primary fluid conditions are as follows:
- Subcooled convection heat transfer, which could be forced convection heat transfer or natural circulation convection heat transfer
- Two-phase condensation heat transfer
- Steam condensation heat transfer Condensation will occur at the steam generator tube walls when the tube walls are at a lower temperature than the primary side vapor. Condensation heat transfer as calculated by WCOBRAITRAC-SB during two-phase flow conditions has been validated by simulation of the Semiscale Mod-2A NC tests, as discussed in Section 17-7.
o\4384-non\4384-17.wpd lbO4043 17-21
I The Semiscale NC 60-kW power test is a suitable experiment to simulate to validate the performance of the WCOBRAITRAC-SB computer code in predicting condensation in the steam generator tubes over the void fraction range for small break LOCA conditions. In the high void fraction range, the EPRI correlation (EPRI, 1988) for cocurrent/countercurrent flow film condensation heat transfer is used as described in Section 6, Volume 1, of this document. At low void fractions, the Shah correlation (Shah, 1979) two-phase multiplier to liquid heat transfer coefficients is used. The mass inventory of the primary is continuously reduced during the Semiscale NC tests; therefore, the effect of steam generator tube condensation is observed over a wide range of fluid qualities. In the latter stages of the NC test simulation, a high void fraction (a>0.980) condition exists in the steam generator tube primary fluid. This provides the opportunity to assess the performance of WCOBRA/TRAC-SB in predicting condensation heat transfer coefficients in the high void fraction range. The WCOBRA/TRAC-SB predicted heat transfer coefficients for the high void fraction condition at the top of the SG tubes are found to be in the range of 2500 to 25,000 Btulhr/ft2 , which is in agreement with the values predicted by the Nusselt film condensation theory. 17-7 Simulation of Semiscale Mod-2A NC Test Series Experiments 17-7-1 Introduction The Semiscale facility is a small scale (1:1700) replica of a Westinghouse RCS including all of the major components. Figure 17-22 shows the layout of the major components, as configured for the NC tests. Although there are two loops in the facility, the one scaled as a single loop was blocked during these tests; the reactor vessel upper head was also blocked. The Mod-2A facility modifications focused on small break LOCA phenomena, and extensive instrumentation was installed to measure key phenomena. The Semiscale reactor vessel houses an electrically heated bundle consisting of 25 heater rods; the tests simulated herein are at a power of 60 kW. The overall scaling philosophy used in designing the facility is the maintenance of the power-to-volume ratio, coupled with a 1:1 elevation scaling criteria (Larson, et al., 1980 and Loomis, 1987). 17-7-1-1 Natural Circulation Phenomena The Semiscale NC test series experiments provided information concerning the overall flow and the qualitative interaction of phenomena that occur throughout the various stages of a small break LOCA in a simulated integral RCS. The NC test series consisted of three individual (30-kW, 60-kW, and 100-kW core power) experiments with multiple points each. In all, approximately o:\4384-non\4384-17.wpd:lb-04043 17-22
15 discrete data points were available at given primary system inventories that were established for a fixed core power and secondary mass by draining fluid from the reactor vessel lower plenum. Each discrete inventory was maintained until steady-state (or nearly steady-state) conditions were established. The NC tests were tabulated by Loomis and Soda (Loomis and Soda, 1982), and they provide valuable data for validating the predictive capability of WCOBRA/TRAC-SB for the single-phase, two-phase, and reflux condensation natural circulation modes. One important phenomenon that influences the severity of small break LOCA transients is steam generator tube liquid holdup. This holdup phenomenon was first identified experimentally in a Semiscale small break LOCA experiment (Leonard, 1982). It has since been duplicated in other facilities such as ROSA (Osakabe, et al., 1987) and has been discussed extensively in the open literature (Leonard, 1983 and Loomis, 1985a). Steam generator liquid holdup is the result of condensation due to natural circulation flow in the upflow side of the tubes relatively early during a small break LOCA transient. This holdup is unable to gravity-drain back through the hot leg because it is impeded by high upward steam flowrates; the pressure drop induced by this holdup affects the hydrostatic head balances throughout the RCS. Therefore, the liquid present in the steam generator tubes as a function of total system inventory is an important phenomenon in small break LOCA performance. 17-7-1-2 Applicable Tests Information from the 60-kW core power test conducted in the NC test series at the Semiscale Mod-2A configuration is available in the literature (Loomis, 1985b and Loomis, 1987). Among the NC experiments, the 60-kW experiment is chosen for simulation because its core power, corresponding to 3-percent full power, is closest to the decay power during the natural circulation period for a PWR 3-inch break event. A series of individual test points was generated at various inventories while heat generated in the core was being removed by heat transfer to the steam generator secondary side. Temperatures and pressures are typical of PWR conditions during small break LOCA events. 17-7-2 Description of WCOBRAITRAC-SB Model The WCOBRAflRAC-SB model used to simulate the Semiscale NC tests is described in detail in Section 21 of this document. The same nodalization was used in the NC test prediction with these exceptions: [ o:\4384-non43S4-17.wpd: lb-04043 17-23
I
].a c 17-7-3 Simulation Results A series of inventory points in the 60-kW NC test (at mass inventories decreasing from 100 percent of nominal until the reflux condensation heat transfer mode was established) were simulated with WCOBRAJTRAC-SB. The results are presented in several ways.
Figure 17-23 shows the system inventory percentage as a function of time to which the WCOBRA/TRAC-SB simulation was set. During the first 50 seconds of each time interval, the inventory was reset downward using a boundary condition. The code was run long enough at each inventory to reach a steady-state prediction of loop flow at that inventory condition. Figure 17-24 shows the natural circulation mass flow rate predicted as a function of system inventory by WMCOBRA/TRAC-SB compared with the data as reported by the experimenters (Loomis and Soda, 1982). The code prediction of peak flowrate agrees well with the data. However, drain of the steam generator tubes occurs earlier in the prediction than in the test. Figures 17-25 and 17-26 show the void fraction in the uppermost nodes of the steam generator tube uphill and downhill, respectively. The draining predicted by COBRA/TRAC-SB as mass inventory decreases takes place when the void fraction exceeds 0.5 in these nodes. At this point, [
]a. Figures 17-27 and 17-28 present condensation rate as a function of time in the upper nodes of the steam generator tube uphill and downhill sides. Condensation is almost constant at inventory levels approaching the draining; therefore, draining is not triggered by a lack of condensation. This is true even though the condensation is underpredicted by WCOBRAfTRAC-SB; not quite all of the steam entering the steam generator is predicted to condense in the code, as it did in the experiment.
Because the draining predicted by WCOBRAfTRAC-SB is a function of void fraction in the steam generator tubes, [ Iax o:A4384-nonW4384-17.wpd:1b-04043 17-24

]a.
Overall, the qualitative prediction of WCOBRA/TRAC-SB shows fair agreement with the Semiscale Mod-2A NC test data. The peak flowrate is matched closely, and the characteristic shape is predicted by the code. The data are similar to that observed in comparable experimental facilities. Figure 17-29 compares the 30-kW Semiscale natural circulation result with that obtained in the PKL facility at a similar power level. The PKL facility (Hein, et al., 1980) is similar to the Semiscale facility except the scaling factor is approximately 134:1 compared with the Semiscale scaling factor of 1705.5:1. As reported in Loomis and Soda (Loomis and Soda, 1982), PKL conducted natural circulation experiments similar to those in Semiscale, but at lower pressure (approximately 3 to 4 MPa versus 6.9 MPa). The results of the experiments were similar. Figure 17-29 compares the loop mass flowrate versus primary system mass inventory for the two systems, indicating similar trends. (The PKL mass flowrate shown was reduced by the ratio of the volume scaling factors used for each facility, and both experiments represent core decay powers of approximately 1.5 percent.) Not only is the overall trend between the two experiments similar, but also the peak two-phase mass flowrate agrees well quantitatively. Furthermore, Loomis and Soda state that the fact that PKL entered the reflux mode at about 80-percent system mass inventory and Semiscale, at about 70-percent inventory constitutes only a slight difference (the uncertainty is +5 percent). The variance between the WCOBRA/TRAC-SB prediction and the Semiscale Mod-2A data for natural circulation and for the time at which the reflux mode begins is similar to that observed between the two comparable test facilities and is characterized as slight by the Semiscale experimenters. Therefore, the WCOBRAfrRAC-SB prediction is judged to be acceptably accurate for small break LOCA analysis. 17-7-4 Conclusions The following conclusions about WCOBRAITRAC-SB are drawn from the Semiscale NC tests simulations:
- The peak natural circulation flowrate is well predicted.
- Draining is a function of the void fraction predicted in the steam generator tubes.
o:\4384-non\4384-17.wpd:lb-04043 17-25
- The difference between the code prediction and the Semiscale data is similar to the difference observed between the Semiscale and PKL data.
Therefore, the two-phase natural circulation and steam generator drain phenomena are adequately predicted. 17-8 References Bajorek, S.

SECTION 18 HORIZONTAL STRATIFIED FLOW BENCHMARKS 18-1 Introduction The predicted performance of a PWR during a small break LOCA transient is to a large extent determined by the two-phase flow regime present in the horizontal pipes of the RCS. The duration of the natural circulation period, the loop seal clearing process, and the break flow composition are a consequence of the flow regime(s) in the hot leg, pump suction leg, and cold leg horizontal sections, respectively. In the WCOBRAfTRAC-SB computer code, the Taitel and Dukler flow regime map (Taitel and Dukler, 1976) is used to define the horizontal pipe flow regime. At the relatively low flowrates associated with the break size range of small break LOCA, the horizontal two-phase flow is in the stratified wavy and/or stratified smooth flow regimes most of the time. Therefore, the prediction of small break LOCA phenomena in the stratified flow regimes is of central importance for the horizontal RCS piping. Within WCOBRAIIRAC-SB logic, the horizontal flow regime is identified [
]ac using the Taitel and Dukler regime map. If the path is determined to be stratified, the Jensen and Yuen model (Jensen and Yuen, 1982) is applied to calculate the interfacial drag and condensation that occurs; entrainment at the interface between gas and liquid is calculated according to the Kataoka and Ishii model (Kataoka and Ishii, 1983). Because the interfacial drag, condensation, and entrainment modelling for horizontal stratified flow are basic processes that are directly related to high-ranked items in the small break LOCA PIRT in Volume 1 of this document, individual validation of each of these models is needed to confirm their accuracy. This is accomplished using the experimental WCOBRA/TRAC-SB simulations presented in the following sections.
18-2 Physical Processes In the condition of a smooth, equilibrium-stratified flow, the wall resistance of the liquid is similar to that for open-channel flow and that of the gas is similar to closed-duct flow. Because the gas phase velocity is much larger than the velocity at the gas-liquid interface, the gas side interfacial shear stress is evaluated using the equation for gas wall shear. The interfacial drag is thus easily defined theoretically. o:\4384-non\4284-1S.wpd:lb.040403 18-l
I Entrainment from the liquid film at the stratified flow two-phase interface is important in determining the mass distribution in the RCS during a small break LOCA. This is particularly true in establishing the liquid fraction of flow through the break once the break location is uncovered. Liquid that exits the RCS through the break is no longer available to possibly contribute to core liquid inventory and to maintain the core in a covered state. Also, entrainment from the stratified two-phase interface in the hot leg affects the natural circulation period in the small break LOCA, and entrainment from the residual liquid in the horizontal leg of the pump suction leg affects the loop seal clearing. Condensation of steam by the subcooled water of the safety injection jet has been separately addressed in Section 14 in this volume. Condensation of steam in the cold leg remains important in the depressurization of the RCS to the point where safety injection exceeds break flow and the recovery period of the small break LOCA begins. 18-3 WCOBRA/TRAC-SB Horizontal Stratified Flow Models Important phenomena in the production of horizontal, stratified flow during a small break LOCA - the interfacial drag, entrainment, and condensation - are discussed in this section. 18-3-1 Interfacial Drag The models and correlations used to calculate interfacial drag in horizontal stratified flow are described in Section 4-6 in Volume 1 of this document. In particular, the work reported by Jensen and Yuen (Jensen and Yuen, 1982) is used. 18-3-2 Entrainment Section 4-6 describes the models and correlations in WCOBRAJIRAC-SB that are used to calculate the entrainment and de-entrainment processes. Entrainment is the result of interfacial shear between vapor and liquid film. In WCOBRATAC-SB, liquid is moved from the continuous liquid field to the entrained field when the interfacial shear forces acting on the liquid o4384-non\4284-1 8wpd:1b-040403 18-2
are sufficient. In de-entrainment, liquid is moved from the entrained field to the continuous liquid field. A summary of the applicable models in WCOBRAITRAC-SB is as follows:
- Entrainment in Film Flow WCOBRAITRAC determines film entrainment rates by comparing the entrainment rate based on a stable film flow to an empirical entrainment rate based on the work of Walley (Walley, et al., 1973).
- Entrainment in Bottom Reflood The model for entrainment in the core near the quench front is based on a model by Kataoka and Ishii (Kataoka and Ishii, 1983) assuming vapor bubbling through a liquid pool.
- Entrainment at a Horizontally Stratified Surface In small break LOCA events, if the vapor velocity is sufficient, entrainment can occur from a horizontal interface of vapor and liquid.
- De-entrainment in Film Flow The model to estimate the de-entrainment of entrained drops into the continuous liquid field uses an empirical model by Cousins (Cousins, et al., 1965).
- Crossflow De-entrainment Entrained liquid in the upper plenum can de-entrain on structures there as the two-phase mixture flows from the vessel into the hot legs. WCOBRAITRAC uses a model based on experiments by Dallman and Kirchner (Dalman and Kirchner, 1980) to determine the amount of de-entrainment in the upper plenum and other regions of the reactor vessel.
o:4384-non\4284-1 8.wpd:b-040403 18-3
I
- De-entrainment at Area Changes De-entrainment occurs as a two-phase mixture encounters a flow restriction such as a tie plate. WCOBRAfIRAC uses a simple area ratio to de-entrain a fraction of the droplet field where an area reduction occurs in the reactor vessel.
De-entrainment at Solid Surfaces and Liquid Pools Drops are assumed to de-entrain when the drops flow into a cell with a solid surface at the opposite face or when the drops flow into a cell which is in a bubbly flow regime. The small break LOCA PIRT presented in Volume 1 identified entrainment as a high-ranked phenomenon only during loop seal clearing. Therefore, WCOBRAiTRAC-SB simulations of loop seal clearing in small break LOCA scenarios presented in Section 16 in this volume provide the necessary validation for code prediction of the entrainment from a stratified interface. 18-3-3 Condensation Section 14 in this volume presents the validation of the model for condensation on the safety injection jet in a small break LOCA transient. When this location is not being modelled, WCOBRAJRAC-SB uses a model for interfacial heat and mass transfer similar to other best estimate codes. As described in Section 5 in Volume 1 of this document, four components are evaluated to calculate interfacial heat and mass transfer; they may be described as HASCL(T,-T) FSCL = H-H Vf

18-4 Assessment of WCOBRA/TRAC-SB Horizontal Stratified Flow Models The performance of the horizontal stratified flow models in WCOBRAJTRAC-SB must be established in predicting interfacial drag and condensation heat transfer for a pertinent single-effect test to demonstrate that the models are adequate for small break LOCA applications. The interfacial drag predictive capability is validated against relevant experimental data (Lim, et al., 1981); these data are also used to validate the interfacial condensation heat transfer. 184-1 Test Facility Description and Modelling The test facility of Lim (Lim, et al., 1981) used a rectangular channel to measure condensation of steam in cocurrent, horizontal flow. The channel was constructed of stainless steel with pyrex glass windows; its dimensions were 160.1 cm long, 6.35 cm high, and 30.48 cm wide. Data were taken in the course of 35 runs. Controlled parameters in the experiments included water and steam inlet temperatures, mass flowrates, and water layer thickness at the inlet. The range of steam (maximum velocity 18 m/s) and water (maximum velocity 41 cmls) flowrates were restricted by either the initiation of bridging phenomena or the occurrence of a hydraulic jump. Inlet steam pressure was approximately 1 atmosphere. Steam velocity, static pressure (for some experiments), and water layer thickness were measured at five locations along the channel. The water inlet temperature was also measured. Figure 18-2 is a schematic diagram of the experimental system. Figure 18-3 presents the WCOBRAfI`RAC noding of the test facility. [

laC. This was considered sufficient to provide enough resolution to compare with experimental measurements, which are available at only five axial locations. The experimental channel is divided [
]ac The experimental report (Lim, et al., 1981) offers no data on liquid level in the discharge tank during the experiments and on the tank dimensions. Because it is impractical to simulate a constant liquid level in the tank due to condensation in the channel, the liquid level in the tank was allowed to rise during the simulation, but it was always kept below the liquid level in the channel. Condensation was tumed off [ ' to minimize the effect of the discharge tank on the channel flow.
Ia,c The liquid level at the channel inlet [
]:C As shown in Figures 18-4 and 18-5, the liquid profile away from the channel inlet is determined only by the steam and water flowrates. The "line" in Figure 18-5 is a linear correlation plane oriented in parallel to the reader's line of sight.
Because essentially all of the variation in the liquid water thickness in the experimental channel can be attributed to the variations in steam and water flowrates, the effect of the initial water layer thickness on the flow pattern away from the inlet can be ignored. o:\4384-non\4284-18.wpd:lb-040403 18-7
I The experimental results used in this analysis are reported to be at steady-state. That is, the water level, pressure, temperature, and steam flow in the channel were stable and not varying significantly. The WCOBRA/TRAC-SB simulations were run [ Ia.c. 18-4-2 Calculational Results A total of 35 tests are reported in Lim (Lim, et al., 1981). Those tests in which the horizontal two-phase flow is fully within the wavy or stratified flow regimes (32 in number) were simulated. The experimental results and test conditions for the tests simulated with WCOBRAtrRAC-SB are shown in Table 18-2. Steam density and steam and water velocities were input as boundary conditions in the model's steam and liquid fill components, respectively. In Table 18-2, steam flowrate and water layer thickness data at locations 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 correspond to 6.18, 12.05, 23.08, 34.18, and 48.14 inches from the experimental channel inlet. Static pressure difference measurements at 4.88, 10.75, 21.77, 32.87, and 47.24 inches are listed as being at locations 1 through 5. Nomenclature is provided on the table. Steam density input is calculated using NISTIASME steam properties for given values of the steam inlet temperature and constant pressure of 16 psi. Due to small variations in the liquid temperature and density among the tests and along the experimental channel, a constant liquid density corresponding to the average liquid temperature of 148.6 0 F is assumed. Steam and water inlet velocities in the model fill components (Figure 18-3) are calculated using a constant flow area of 0.2083 ft2. Figures 18-6 through 18-11 provide, for a typical case (run 275), the predicted results and the comparison between experimental data and the WCOBRAtRAC-SB predictions. For calculated quantities, stable or periodic (at one or two axial locations) behavior is observed over the duration of the test (Figures 18-6, 18-8, and 18-10). There is a reasonably good agreement between the measured and predicted average values of liquid level and pressure drop' in the channel as seen in Figures 18-7 and 18-9. While the liquid level at 47.27 inches is significantly underpredicted, the observed trend of the liquid level to recover toward the channel outlet is well Note that the pressure actually increases as the steam flow proceeds through the channel. o:\4384-non\4284-18.wpd:1b-040403 18-8
reproduced by WCOBRAHrRAC-SB (Figure 18-7). WCOBRAITRAC-SB overpredicted the steam flowrate axially as seen in Figure 18- 1; underpredicting the steam condensation rate is the cause. This matter was investigated further; condensation heat transfer correlations used in WCOBRAJIRAC-SB (Jensen and Yuen, 1982), and one derived from the experimental data, were compared to each other for typical flow conditions in the channel. This comparison is presented in Figure 18-12. The altemative correlation for a smooth interface based on this test data (Lim, et al., 1981) is given by: Nu.,: =A0.631 * (Re )0 58
. (Re )009 (Pr, (18-1) where:
NUMW = is the Nusselt number (Nu), equals 1344 for case 275 The principal difference between the correlations is that the Nu value in WCOBRAIRAC-SB is [
]c The cumulative results of all tests simulated are shown in Figures 18-13 through 18-16, which show scatter plots of predicted versus measured quantities of the liquid level, steam mass flowrate, liquid temperature at the channel exit, and the pressure drop in the channel, respectively. For most of the cases, liquid level predictions are within +/- 0.2 inches of the measurements. The steam flowrate is overestimated almost everywhere in the test section, particularly near the channel exit. As a result, the liquid temperature at the channel exit is underpredicted by 20° to 40°F. The large majority (approximately 80%) of the pressure drop predictions are within + 33 percent of the experimental data, as shown in Figure 18-16.

18-5 Conclusions WCOBRAITRAC-SB predictions of two-phase flow in a horizontal channel were verified against data of steam condensation in a rectangular channel with cocurrent water flow at atmospheric pressure. A model of the experimental channel, consisting of [ Ia,c was developed. The pertinent cases among the 35 test cases reported in Lim (Lim et al., 1981) were simulated. For most of the cases, liquid level predictions are within + 0.2 inches of the measurements. Depending on the axial position, steam flowrate can be overestimated by a factor of 2 or more (near the channel exit). As a result, the liquid temperature at the channel exit is underpredicted by 20 to 40°F. To address this, values of the condensation heat transfer coefficient calculated by the code were compared with those given by the correlation used in WCOBRA/TRAC-SB and one derived from the experimental data. The difference in the condensation heat transfer coefficient is determined to be due to the correlation used in the code. Condensation heat transfer in horizontal stratified flow will be ranged in the PWR sensitivity study to address this discrepancy and considered in the uncertainty methodology. Most of the pressure drop predictions are within + 33 percent of the experimental data, and the number of points for which the pressure drop is underpredicted is approximately the same as the number for which it is overpredicted. Inasmuch as steam velocities are low when horizontal stratified flow conditions exist in PWR loop pipes during a small break LOCA event, the pressure drop prediction uncertainties of this model are judged to be unimportant relative to the total hydraulic pressure drop of the RCS. Nevertheless, interfacial drag variations in the horizontal stratified flow regime are considered in the uncertainty methodology. 18-6 References Cousins, L.

SECTION 19 ROSA TEST SIMULATIONS 19-1 Introduction The Rig-of-Safety Assessment Number 4 (ROSA-IV) program conducted a series of experiments to investigate the thermal-hydraulic behavior of a Westinghouse-designed four-loop PWR during small break LOCAs and operational transients using the Large Scale Test Facility (LSTF). The LSTF is a 1/48 volume scale representation of a Westinghouse four-loop 3423 MW PWR. Figure 19-1 is a schematic diagram of the facility. The LSTF consists of two equal volume loops, A and B, with the pressurizer attached to loop A. The elevations of the major components are full-scale to preserve natural circulation phenomena important to core cooling. The hot and cold legs, with a diameter of 8.15 inches, are sized to conserve volume scaling and the ratio of length to the square root of the pipe diameter (LIVD) of the reference PWR. Table 19-1 compares the major design characteristics of the LSTF and the PWR. The core contains 16 square 7x7 and 8 semicrescent heater rod assemblies. The heater rods are 0.374 inches in diameter and 12 feet in length. The maximum power in the facility is 10 MW, which is equivalent to 14 percent of the scaled steady-state core power of the reference PWR. The secondary coolant system consists of the steam generator, main and auxiliary feedwater pumps, and condensing system. The height of the LSTF steam generator is the same as in the reference PWR. The downcomer in the steam generators consists of four pipes located outside the steam generator vessel. The pipes are sized to give a representative volume and width. Each steam generator contains 141 U-tubes with 0.772 inches ID and 1.0 inches OD. Primary and secondary steam separators are included in each steam generator vessel. The LSTF ECCS consists of a high pressure charging system, a high pressure injection system, a low pressure injection system, an accumulator system, and a residual heat removal system. A detailed description of the facility is contained in the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) document (JAERI-M 84-237, 1985). o\4384-non\4384-19.wpd:lb-04043 19-1
I This section describes the modelling and simulation of five ROSA tests using WCOBRA/TRAC-SB. The tests simulated were the 2.5-, 5-, and 10-percent cold leg breaks, each with the break at the middle of the pipe. This group of tests provides a break size sensitivity. Two other 2.5-percent cold leg break tests were also simulated: one with the break at the top of the pipe and the other with the break at the bottom. These provide a break orientation sensitivity. Comparisons between predicted and measured results are used to validate the WCOBRAITRAC-SB code version and to identify possible compensating errors. 19-2 WCOBRA/TRAC Model of the LSTF The WCOBRA/TRAC-SB nodalization of the LSTF uses a similar amount of detail in the vessel, steam generators, and loops as used in the PWR model. Figure 19-2 shows the WCOBRA/TRAC-SB noding of the LSTF pressure vessel. Because the LSTF is a two-loop facility, the vessel is modelled [ la; The upper plenum modelling of the LSTF facility includes [

]a,c The steam generator secondary side includes sufficient detail to model recirculation in the downcomer and separation in the vapor dome region. [ ]ac During steady-state simulation, and prior to reactor trip, steam leaving the generators passes through a TEE component and VALVE component to a constant pressure BREAK. At reactor trip, the main steam isolation valve (MSIV) is closed and flow goes through a VALVE component representing the main steam safety valve (MSSV) to a second BREAK component that provides a constant pressure boundary condition at the MSSV setpoint pressure.

accumulator setpoint of 647.5 psia. The combined safety injection from the pumps and accumulators entered the cold legs through TEE components 10 and 19 to loops A and B respectively. 19-3 Steady-State Simulation Verification that the WCOBRAfTRAC model of the LSTF adequately represented the facility was accomplished through a full-power, 100-second steady-state simulation. At the end of this 100-second simulation, predicted and measured flow parameters were compared to ensure reasonably good agreement by the model. Table 19-2 summarizes initial conditions used in the steady-state comparison. Agreement was obtained between the simulated initial system pressure and initial test pressure. The comparison shows that the total core flow is underpredicted due to too high of an estimate of the core and loop flow resistance. As a result, Th,, is several degrees high. A good energy balance was achieved between the primary and secondary sides. The steady-state parameters are considered close enough for reliable transient calculations based on the WCOBRATRAC model of the facility. 194 Simulation of SB-CL-05, 5-Percent Cold Leg Break Experiments as part of ROSA-IV were conducted for several different break areas. Test SB-CL-05 simulated a 5-percent cold leg break, which corresponds to approximately a 6-inch break in a PWR. The break was located in loop B and had a horizontal orientation. Safety injection flowrates corresponding to a single failure in the safety injection system were assumed. Experimental results are discussed by Kawaji (Kawaji, et al., 1986) and Tasaka (Tasaka, et al., 1988). Operational setpoints for this test are listed in Table 19-3. The core power was scrammed once the primary pressure decreased below 1862 psia At scram, the primary coolant pumps began to coast down, the main feedwater was stopped, and the steam generator secondaries were isolated by closure of the main steam isolation valves (MSIV). In this test, the primary system rapidly depressurized to a pressure slightly higher than the secondary pressure, approximately 1150 psia, until the loop seal cleared at 140 seconds. o\4384-non\4384-19.wpd:1b-04443 19-4
After loop seal clearance, the break quality changed from a low quality mixture to primarily vapor and the primary system continued to depressurize. Test SB-CL-05 had a core depression during loop seal clearance that was considerably below the elevation of the bottom of the loop seal piping. Osakabe (Osakabe et al., 1987) attributed this to a large liquid holdup in the uphill steam generator tubes. During this core level depression, the cladding temperature increased by approximately 180°F reaching a maximum cladding temperature of approximately 830°F. After loop seal clearance, the core level recovered quickly. Accumulator injection began at 417 seconds and prevented a second core uncovery. The WCOBRA/TRAC-SB simulation of the LSTF 5-percent cold leg break was initiated by attaching a PIPE component to the middle level of the loop B cold leg. The break unit in this test was aligned horizontally. Figure 19-8 shows the nodalization for modelling the break unit in the LSTF. Table 19-4 compares the sequence of events in the simulation and the experiment. In the current modelling, the pressurizer pressure decreased more slowly than the experiment. This caused a delay in the generation of reactor trip and safety injection signal generation. As the primary system continued to drain, a manometeric balance was set up between the core and downcomer, and the uphill and downhill sides of the loop seal piping. A deep depression in the core collapsed liquid level occurred as steam slipped through the loop seal piping toward the cold leg. The core level became depressed nearly to the bottom of the core, while liquid remained in the uphill side of the loop seal. At this time, the heater rods heated up rapidly. While most liquid had drained from the steam generator tubes, a level remained in the plenum and bottom of the uphill side. After steam slipped through the loop seals, the core level recovered and most of the water was pushed out of both loop seals. In this simulation, no core uncovery occurred following the loop seal clearance period. By 420 seconds, the primary system pressure decreased below 647.5 psia and accumulator injection began. At this time, the core remained covered with a low void fraction mixture and no heatup was predicted. o:W384-nonW4384-19.wpd:1b4043 19-5
I Figures 19-9 through 19-16 compare predicted and measured results for the 5-percent cold leg break test. Figure 19-9 compares predicted and measured primary system pressure. For the first 75 seconds of the simulation, the pressurizer pressure remains higher than the measurement while the pressure in the upper head is predicted lower than the data. Overprediction of pressurizer pressure for this period causes a delay in reactor trip and safety injection signals. The system depressurization slows down briefly near the hot leg saturation pressure; it then continues until both the primary and secondary pressures equilibrate at approximately 1200 psia in both the prediction and the test data. From about 100 seconds until loop seal clearance begins at 197 seconds, the predicted pressure increases approximately 50 psi. This increase is not observed in the data. The cause of this reduction in the primary to secondary heat transfer may be due to excessive liquid holdup/fluid stagnation in the steam generator tubes. As the liquid film hangs, the convective heat transfer from the primary side water to the tube is diminished. The primary pressure increases by an amount necessary to continue heat transfer with a higher primary to secondary temperature difference. After loop seal venting, the predicted pressure remains higher than the measurement. The accumulator setpoint pressure of 646 psia was reached 417 seconds into the test. The WCOBRA/TRAC-SB simulation depressurized to this value at 420 seconds. Break flow is compared in Figure 19-10. Early in the transient, flow out of the break is subcooled, that is, single-phase liquid. During this period, with no discharge coefficient applied, WCOBRAtIRAC-SB slightly overpredicts the break flow. Between 50 and 150 seconds, the break flow is underpredicted in the simulation. During this period, break flow becomes two-phase in the calculation, some 100 seconds earlier than the test data. This mismatch is attributed partly to early overprediction of the break flow, which depleted the inventory faster, and to a higher core outlet initial temperature. Once the flow quality turns two-phase, the venturi meter used in the experiment becomes significantly unreliable and has great uncertainty at low mass flowrates. For that portion of the comparison, break mass flowrate derived from the catch-tank level is used. The derived flowrate is not responsive to the rapid changes in flow at the beginning of the transient. After 150 seconds, the break flow is slightly overpredicted compared to the data. Loop seal venting occurs at approximately 140 seconds in the test. WCOBRATRAC-SB predicts loop venting initially at 195 seconds in the intact loop and continually through both loop seals after 200 seconds, as seen in Figures 19-11 and 19-12. The data also show venting through both loop seals. This delay relative to test data is likely due to the mismatch in break flow prediction. o:\4384-non4384-19.wpd:lb-04043 19-6
As the loop seals vent, the collapsed liquid level in the core is depressed. Figure 19-13 compares the core liquid levels. During the initiation of loop seal venting, the predicted level is depressed nearly to the bottom of the core. The data also show a deep core level depression with the level decreasing well below the bottom of the loop seal piping to within 2 feet of the bottom of the core. After loop seal clearance, the core level recovers to approximately the level observed in the data. Core heatup occurs during the loop seal clearance period while the core remains uncovered. Figure 19-14 compares the PCT predicted by WCOBRAITRAC to the maximum cladding heatup observed in the data. The core uncovery period during the loop seal clearance event is overpredicted in the simulation. This results in a higher PCT compared to measured data. The core uncovery during the loop seal clearance period depends upon the manometric balance between the core and downcomer, and the sum of pressure drops through the loop and uphill side of the loop seal piping. An important static head exists on the uphill side of the steam generator tubes, where water condensed in the tubes collects because of CCFL and flooding in the steam generator up-hill tubes. Figures 19-15 and 19-16 show collapsed liquid levels in the uphill steam generator tubes. The apparent high resistance in the bypass flow modelling between the downcomer and the upper head and excessive liquid holdup in the steam generators result in extended core level depression. Following loop seal clearance, the steam generator tubes drain briefly and then retain a small collapsed level. Table 19-4 summarizes the predicted and recorded results for the 5-percent cold leg test. 19-5 Simulation of SB-CL-09, 10-Percent Cold Leg Side Break One of the integral shakedown tests performed in the LSTF was a 10-percent cold leg break, which was the maximum break size for the facility design. This is a relatively large break size, corresponding to approximately a 9-inch break in a PWR, which could be considered more of an intermediate break as opposed to a small break LOCA. This break size is relevant, however, because limiting small break sizes may shift to larger equivalent diameters in other plants. The break was located in loop B, which was the loop without the pressurizer, and was oriented horizontally from the middle of the cold leg. The operational setpoints for this 10-percent break are listed in Table 19-5. o.\4384-non\4384.19.wpd:lb-04043 19-7
I The 10-percent cold leg break test simulated using WCOBRAITRAC-SB is the ROSA-IV experiment designated as run SB-CL-09. This test uses a conservative core power transient curve, which is significantly higher than the realistic power curve for the first 300 seconds of the transient. While the same experiment with realistic power curve, SB-CL-14, showed no significant rod heatup, this case exhibits large rod heatup during the loop seal clearing (Koizumi and Tasaka, 1988). In addition, lack of high pressure charging injection and high pressure safety injection resulted in the simulation predicting a core boiloff with rod heatup after the loop clearance event. Predicted results for the 10-percent break are shown in Figures 19-17 to 19-24. Figure 19-17 depicts the primary system pressure. The prediction was found to depressurize rapidly during the first few seconds of the transient. By 30 seconds, the primary pressure equilibrates at the secondary side pressure until loop seal clearance. Accumulator injection begins at 198 seconds in the prediction. The break flow is shown in Figure 19-18. Figure 19-19 shows the predicted core collapsed liquid level. The initial rapid depressurization of the primary side in the prediction causes the core to flash quickly. This is seen in the initial deep drop in the collapsed liquid level 12 seconds following the break. The broken side loop seal begins to clear at 80 seconds, and the intact side loop seal clears at 71 seconds as seen in Figures 19-20 and 19-21. Liquid holdup on the uphill side of the steam generator tubes is shown in Figures 19-22 and 19-23. Both broken and intact side steam generators drain quickly because of the relatively large break size. The PCT prediction is shown in Figure 19-24; the calculated value does not reach the experimental value of 1135°F. Table 19-6 summarizes the predicted results for the 10-percent cold leg test. 19-6 Simulation of 2.5-Percent Cold Leg Breaks A set of three experiments - SB-CL-01, 02, and 03 - was conducted in the LSTF to investigate the effect of break orientation. All three tests simulated a 2.5-percent break in the cold leg, which approximates a 3-inch break in a PWR. In these experiments, the break was oriented at the side, bottom, and top of the loop B cold leg. Experimental results are summarized in the data report by Koizumi (Koizumi, et al., 1987). The test results showed that break orientation had only a small effect on system parameters such as pressure and core collapsed liquid level. o:4384-non\4384-19.wpd:lb-04043 19-8
Figure 19-25 provides a description of the break geometry for these tests. These tests provide a useful means of evaluating the break flow model in WCOBRAtTRAC-SB for the effects of vapor pull-through and liquid entrainment near the break orifice. Operational setpoints for the 2.5-percent cold leg break tests were the same as those shown in Table 19-3, with two exceptions. The charging and high pressure safety injection was delayed in these tests until 1200 seconds to force boiloff to occur, instead of the normal 12- and 17-second delays for these system flows. In addition, core power trip control turned the power off once the heater rod temperatures reached 1196°F in the experiment. Figure 19-8 shows the break modelling used in the 2.5-percent cold leg break simulations. Results for the 2.5 percent cold leg side break are compared to data in Figures 19-26 through 19-30. Figure 19-26 compares the predicted and measured primary system pressure. Over the first 200 seconds of the transient, WCOBRA/TRAC-SB tends to slightly underpredict the pressure. By 200 seconds, however, both the predicted and measured pressures have equilibrated with secondary side pressure at approximately 1200 psia. Between 200 and 400 seconds, WCOBRA/TRAC-SB overpredicts the system pressure. Furthermore, WCOBRA'RAC-SB predicted the pressure to slightly increase, which is not observed in the data. After loop seal clearance, the predicted and measured pressures are in good agreement. Figure 19-27 shows a comparison of predicted and measured break flows. Early in the transient, until 350 seconds, the break flow is underpredicted, after which it is overpredicted for a time. The code underprediction of the SB-CL-01 breakflow leads to an overprediction of the time to loop seal clearance. A comparison of the vessel collapsed liquid level is shown in Figure 19-28. The agreement is good when comparing the times of loop seal clearance (462 seconds in the simulation versus 380 in the test). Neither the data nor the prediction shows enough of a core level depression to cause a significant core heatup at this time, as seen in Figure 19-29; one does occur later as the boiloff period begins. The reason for the lack of a severe loop seal clearance level depression in the core can be explained by Figure 19-30. Because of the small break size, the transient proceeds at a relatively slow rate. Liquid held up in larger breaks in the uphill steam generator tubes drains, and the tubes are nearly voided by the time loop seal venting occurs. The additional static head due to liquid in the steam generator tubes is not present, and less of a core level depression is required to maintain a manometric balance with the loop seal. The characteristic deep core uncovery during loop seal clearance in other ROSA-IV tests does not occur. o:\4384-non\4384-19.wpd:lb-04043 19-9
The boiloff period is turned around with the accumulator injection. In the experiments, the core power was tripped once the heater cladding temperatures reached almost 1200°F. The core remains covered with the help of safety injection, which was manually delayed until 1200 seconds. In the simulations, the power is tripped once the PCI reached 1196°F, stopping a further increase in the cladding temperatures. The power trip also reverses the core boiloff, and the core collapsed liquid level starts to recover. The transients for the top and bottom breaks were terminated before a full level recovery was observed for these cases. The timing of key events for experiments with side, bottom, and top orientation is given by Tables 19-7 through 19-9, respectively. Test results for the three 2.5-percent breaks showed relatively little difference in break flowrate (Koizumi, et al., 1988). The experimental break flowrates are shown in Figure 19-31A. A comparison of the predicted break flowrates is shown in Figure 19-3 1B. Similar to the experimental data, the break orientation had only a small effect on the predicted break flow. The test data for all three orientation breaks show no difference in break flowrate until 100 seconds. However, the test data show that the break flows diverge from each other when the break flow quality turns two-phase. First, the top break and side break discharge becomes two-phase, and the discharge flowrate reduces abruptly. The last to become two-phase is the bottom break. Change in the break flow from single-phase subcooled discharge to high-void two-phase discharge is predicted in a consistent manner for top and bottom break orientations. The bottom break takes longer to become two-phase because the level in the cold leg needs to drop to break location. However, because most of the liquid is exhausted, the break flowrate then reduces below the top orientation flow. This detail is predicted in the simulations. The side break case did not produce a consistent prediction with the data; it exhibits an increase in break flow after the initial abrupt drop. While the test data showed that break orientation had only a minor effect on the break flowrate, the orientation did affect the timing of the loop seal clearance and core uncovery. In the test data, of Figure 19-32A, the side break orientation had the earliest loop seal clearance time, then the top break and the bottom break vented at almost the same time. Also, the bottom break produces an earlier and deeper uncovery in the boiloff period. In the simulations, as in the tests, the side break was the first one to vent; the bottom and top breaks vent later as shown in Figure 19-32B. The sequence in which loop seal clearing occurs as a function of break orientation is well predicted by WCOBRA/IRAC-SB, although the timing is delayed from the data in every case. o:.4384-non\4384-19.wpd:lb-04043 19-10
Figures 19-32A and 19-32B provide a comparison of measured and predicted core levels for the top, side, and bottom 2.5-percent breaks. In the test data, the start of the boiloff period for the bottom break occurs first, and the side break boiloff began prior to the top break. The timing of the onset of the core boiloff period in the predictions shows the top and side break begin at almost the same time, later than for the bottom break; as in the test data, the bottom break exhibits the most rapid core uncovery. Figures 19-33A and 19-33B indicate that the WCOBRAfIRAC-SB simulations show the general two-phase level characteristics of the experiments. Top and side breaks maintain a higher mixture level in the broken cold leg compared to the bottom-oriented break. The core heatup rate during the boiloff period is adequately predicted. Figure 19-34A shows the cladding temperature for an 8.67-foot rod elevation. Figure 19-34B depicts the code-predicted temperatures at the same elevation for 2.5-percent break cases. Simulations were ended at 975 seconds for the side-oriented case and 1114 seconds for the bottom-oriented case. 19-7 Summary of Results This section describes the predicted results for five different ROSA-IV/LSTF small-break tests. The simulations provide an adequate representation of the test data. The loop seal clearance behaviors are predicted with acceptable accuracy, and core uncovery predictions that closely agree in magnitude with the test data produce cladding heatup predictions comparable to those in the data. Liquid holdup in the steam generator tubes appears to be predicted with good accuracy in the SB-CL-01 simulation, although in the 5-percent cold leg break simulation, the code prediction of liquid holdup in the steam generators appears to lead to a repressurization of the primary side. WCOBRA.TIRAC-SB results for the 5-percent cold leg break case show the discharge of single-phase subcooled liquid at high pressures is overpredicted slightly in the initial 50 seconds when compared against the available data, then underpredicted. The break flowrates in the 2.5-percent series of test simulations trend well with the data with the exception of an early surge in the side orientation case (SB-CL-01) result.- In both the 5-percent and 2.5 percent break size predictions, the underprediction of break flow causes a delay in the predicted time of loop seal clearance. The timing of the initiation and the turnaround of the boiloff period in the 2.5-percent bottom and side break cases are in general well predicted, although in the top break case the boiloff is o\4384-non\4384-19.wpd:lb-04043 19-1 1
predicted to begin earlier than in the SB-CL-03 data. Because the power was tripped at a preset heater temperature, the PCTs are exactly predicted. 19-8 References JAERI-M 84-237, 1985, "ROSA-IV Large Scale Test Facility (LSTF) System Description."

SECTION 20 LOFT SIMULATIONS USING WCOBRA/TRAC-SB 20-1 Introduction Other integral-systems tests that were simulated using WCOBRA/TRAC-SB are based on experiments conducted at the Loss-of-Fluid Test (LOFT) facility. The LOFT loss-of-coolant experiments (LOCEs) have been widely used for validation of PWR computer models due to the relatively large scale of the facility (1:60 volume scaling of a commercial four-loop PWR) and the use of a nuclear core designed to have the same physical, chemical, and metallurgical properties as a PWR core (Reeder, 1978). The large scale of the facility enables multidimensional effects which allow assessment of the ability of the code to predict these effects. Also, because LOFT is the only integral facility to use a nuclear core, the experiments are considered to be an essential part of the validation package for any PWR computer model. The LOFT facility is designed to provide thermal-hydraulic data representative of a large rupture of a main coolant pipe. Consequently, the facility design and instrumentation are oriented toward fulfilling these goals. The LOFT facility contains a number of atypicalities to a large-scale PWR for large break LOCA simulations; for small break LOCAs, the facility contains even more atypicalities, some of which were not recognized until after some small break LOCEs had been completed. Nevertheless, the facility remains a valuable benchmark for model assessment, provided the atypicalities are recognized and do not overshadow the thermal-hydraulic behavior of interest. In general, LOFT fluid volumes were scaled according to the ratio of LOFT core power to PWR core power of a large plant. If practical, flow areas were scaled by the same ratio. In this section, simulations of LOFT small break LOCEs L3-l, L3-7, and L3-5 using WCOBRAtIRAC-SB are presented and compared to various data acquired during the experiments. L3-1 and L3-5 simulate a 4-inch equivalent diameter break. The L3-1 break is located at the centerline of the inactive loop cold leg. For LOCE 13-5, the break is located in the active loop cold leg. The L3-1 experiment is of interest for model validation due to the influence of accumulator injection on the primary system response during the test; by comparison, LOCE L3-5, because of its location in the active loop, is more typical of the break geometry expected for a small break LOCA in a full-scale PWR. L3-7 simulates a 1-inch equivalent diameter break also at the centerline of the inactive loop cold leg. This experiment is o:\4384-non\438420.wpd:lb440403 20-1
of interest for model validation due to the extended period of natural circulation that was established and maintained during the test. 20-2 LOFT Facility Description The following text describing the LOFT facility is summarized from NUREG CR-1 145 (Bayless, et al., 1980) with additional information from NUREG CR-0247 (Reeder, 1978) and changes for readability where necessary. Figure 20-2-1 (Bayless, et al., 1980) illustrates the layout of the LOFT facility. LOFT consists of five major components: the reactor vessel, the active loop, the inactive loop, the blowdown suppression system, and the emergency core cooling system (ECCS). A reflood assist bypass line (RABL) was also included in the inactive loop to provide additional safeguards capability in an emergency. The LOFT reactor vessel is similar to a PWR reactor vessel in that it includes a nuclear core and an integral annular downcomer. However, the LOFT downcomer contains large metal filler blocks not found in a standard PWR downcomer to maintain volume scaling. Also, the LOFT vessel does not have an upper head typical of a PWR vessel. Figure 20-2-2 based on Reeder (Reeder, 1978) illustrates the LOFT reactor vessel and shows the various flowpaths that are available for coolant that enters through the vessel inlet nozzle. The 5.5-foot LOFT nuclear core consists of nine fuel assemblies designed for a thermal output of 50 MW. As shown in Figure 20-2-3 (Bayless, et al., 1980), five assemblies have a 5xl5 square cross section and the remaining four assemblies have a triangular cross section that represents a portion of the square cross-sectional design. The square assemblies have 225 pin locations, 21 of which are occupied by guide tubes except for the center assembly; the center guide tube is not installed to allow for additional instrumentation. The triangular assemblies have 78 pin locations, 8 of which are occupied by guide tubes. In all, the 9 LOFT assemblies contain 1,300 fuel rods, 136 guide tubes, and 1 open hole for instrumentation. The LOFT active loop is similar to a PWR main coolant loop in that it includes a hot leg, an active steam generator (inverted U-tube and shell design), pump suction piping, and a cold leg. However, the LOFT active loop uses two coolant pumps in parallel, rather than a single coolant pump typical of a PWR loop, and the LOFT steam generator tubes are not full height. The LOFT o:\4384-non'4384-20.wpd:Ib-040403 20-2
secondary side steam flow is controlled on a pressure hysteresis following steam generator trip and is, therefore, also different from the PWR. The LOFI' inactive loop contains a hot leg, a steam generator simulator to represent the steam generator resistance, a reactor coolant pump (RCP) simulator to represent the pump resistance, and a cold leg. The hot and cold legs are connected on one side to the reactor vessel and on the other side to the quick-opening blowdown valves of the blowdown suppression system. The hot and cold legs are also connected by the RABL, normally closed during the LOCEs, but which provides additional safeguards capability by allowing steam generated in the core to be vented directly to the break in an emergency. The LOFT blowdown suppression system consists of header pipes from the quick-opening blowdown valves in the inactive loop, connected to a blowdown suppression tank with a spray system for steam condensation. This system provides the backpressure to the RCS for the LOCEs and, therefore, simulates the containment in a PWR. The LOFT ECCS consists of two accumulators; a high-pressure injection system (HPIS), consisting of two high-pressure injection pumps and a low-pressure injection system (LPIS), consisting of two low-pressure injection pumps. Generally, only one of each is active during a given experiment. o:\4384-non\4384-20.wpd:lb-040403 20-3

The core power as a function of time for the LOFT small break LOCEs is supplied to WCOBRATRAC-SB as a boundary condition, based on Figure 21 of NUREG CR-1 145 (Bayless, et al., 1980) for L3-1; Figure 4-2 of NUREG CR-1570 (Gillas and Carpenter, 1980) for L3-7; and Figure 2-2 of NUREG CR-1695 (Dao and Carpenter, 1980) for L3-5. Use of these best estimate curves in place of the WCOBRAiTRAC-SB kinetics and decay heat models ensures that the thermal-hydraulic predictions are not influenced by known differences in core power behavior between the code modelling and the experiments. 20-3-2 Active Loop Hot Leg, Pressurizer, and Steam Generator Inlet Piping Modelling In the LOFT large break model, the active loop hot leg and pressurizer surge line are modelled [

The LOFT pumped injection enters the cold leg at a location near the reactor vessel, while the PWR injection point is typically further upstream. This results in distortion between the flow regimes observed in the LOFT cold leg and the flow regimes observed in a PWR cold leg and must be considered before using LOFT cold leg behavior to draw conclusions regarding the PWR small break model. 20-3-6 Accumulator and ECCS Modelling In the LOFT large break model, the accumulator and ECCSs were modelled using: [

]C The RABL connecting the inactive loop hot and cold legs was designed to remain closed during the experiments. For L3-1 and L3-7, however, a nontrivial amount of leakage through the RABL affected the overall system bypass, which must be modelled in the WCOBRAJ1RAC-SB simulations. The RABL is modelled for the small break simulations, [ ]' Also for 13-5, safety and accumulator injection are moved to the downcomer.

20-4 Steady-State Simulations for LOFT Small Break LOCEs L3-1, L3-7, and L3-5 Prior to the transient simulations, a 200-second steady-state was run for each LOCE to ensure stable system behavior prior to break initiation. Parameters that are normally varied in large break LOCA test simulations to obtain satisfactory steady-state conditions are varied in these small break LOCE calculations. System coolant mass (i.e., enthalpy) is varied to obtain a primary system pressure within the stated data uncertainty. Pump speed is varied to obtain the desired primary system flow. Secondary system pressure is varied to obtain active loop hot and cold leg temperatures within specified limits. The average linear heat generation rate is varied to obtain the correct core power. Feedwater temperature is varied to obtain the appropriate secondary fluid temperature. With these parameters controlled, other parameters (such as the inactive loop hot and cold leg temperatures) may be within or outside of the limits specified by the data uncertainty. 20-4-1 Steady-State Simulation for LOFT LOCE L3-1 Table 20-4-1 compares the results of the 200-second WCOBRATRAC-SB steady-state simulation for LOCE L3-1 to the initial conditions identified in NUREG CR-1 145, pages 28 and 29 (Bayless, et al., 1980). The following summarizes the results of the steady-state simulation for L3-1:
- The calculated active loop hot leg temperature predicts hot leg streaming. The temperature at the top of the hot leg is calculated to be greater than that calculated for the cells below. The numerical average of the calculated temperatures lies within the data uncertainty, as does the mixed liquid temperature for channel 88 at the steam generator unit.
- The calculated RABL flow is 1.5 percent of total active loop flow. This is below the estimated 3-percent bypass for the RABL.
- The calculated inactive loop cold leg and hot leg temperatures lie within the data uncertainty.
- The steam generator collapsed liquid level is approximately 9.4 feet; this is approximately 0.9 feet below the data minus uncertainty.
o:\4384-non\4384-20.wpd:lb-040403 20-21
- The steam generator feedwater and steam flowrates are within the data and uncertainty. The steaming rate is approximately 1 percent higher than the feed water flowrate. This is consistent with a calculated liquid temperature at the bottom of the boiler approximately 5 °F greater than the data for the steam generator liquid temperature.
- The steam generator pressure was adjusted to give the correct primary side temperatures. [

20-4-2 Steady-State Simulation for LOFT LOCE L3-7 The results of the L3-7 steady-state calculation, as summarized in Table 204-2, are within the limits of the data and uncertainties identified in NUREG/CR-1570 (Gillas, 1980) except as noted in the following. The steady-state values outside the limits of the data and uncertainty are judged to be minor and have no significant effect on the overall transient calculation.
- The calculated active loop hot leg temperature predicts hot leg streaming. The temperature at the top of the hot leg is calculated to be greater than that calculated for the lower cells. The numerical average of the calculated temperatures lies within the data uncertainty, while the mixed fluid temperature in channel 88 is 0.1 °F below the data and uncertainty.
- The calculated RABL flow is 1.5 percent of total active loop flow; this is below the estimated 3-percent bypass for the RABL.
- The calculated inactive loop cold leg temperature lies within the data uncertainty.
Even with the lower RABL bypass flow, the inactive loop hot leg temperature is calculated to be approximately 1.3°F below the data minus uncertainty.
- The steam generator level is approximately 9.3 feet and approximately 1 foot below the data minus uncertainty.

Steam generator pressure is 29.3 psi below the data and uncertainty. As with L3-l, the secondary side pressure is adjusted to obtain desired primary side temperature. [ a.c 204-3 Steady-State Simulation for LOFT LOCE L3-5 The results of the L3-5 steady-state calculation, as summarized in Table 204-3, are within the limits of the data and uncertainties identified in NUREG/CR-1695 (Dao and Carpenter, 1980) except as noted in the following. The steady-state values outside the limits of the data and uncertainty are judged to be minor and have no significant effect on the overall transient calculation.
- The calculated active loop hot leg temperature predicts hot leg streaming. The temperature at the top of the hot leg is calculated to be greater than that calculated for the lower cells.

- The calculated RABL flow is 1.5 percent of total active loop flow; this is below the estimated 3-percent bypass for the RABL.
- The calculated inactive loop hot leg temperature is greater than the data plus uncertainty by 1.4°F. The inactive loop cold leg temperature lies within the data and uncertainty.
- The steam generator level is approximately 9.3 feet and approximately 1 foot below the data minus uncertainty.
- The pressurizer temperature is approximately 0.4 F below the data minus uncertainty, which is consistent with the calculated pressurizer pressure.
- As in the L3-1 steady-state calculation, the secondary side pressure is adjusted to obtain the desired primary side temperatures, and is 19.4 psi below the data minus uncertainty. This translates to 4 °F in secondary side saturation temperature -

20-5 Transient Simulations for LOFT Small Break LOCEs L3-1, L3-7, and L3-5 20-5-1 Transient Simulation for LOFT LOCE L3-1 The LOFT LOCE L3-1 is a 4-inch equivalent break in the inactive loop cold leg. This experiment started from initial conditions similar to L3-5 with the same break orifice as described in this section. The reactor was tripped several seconds prior to opening the blowdown valves to initiate the break. The sequence of events is listed in Table 20-5-1-1 (Bayless, et al., 1980). The RCPs were tripped shortly after the break opening, and safety injection was initiated on low primary system pressure. Safety injection was directed into the active loop cold leg. The intent is to simulate L3-1 with WCOBRAfTRAC-SB based on the initial conditions described in Section 20-4-1 and the appropriate boundary conditions. The physical arrangement of the inactive loop cold leg with the RABL connecting the inactive loop cold and hot legs coupled with the lack of a complete loop means that L3-1, like L3-7, is atypical of a full-scale PWR geometry. Leakage through the RABL equalizes pressure between the hot and cold legs and acts like loop seal clearing. While L3-1 and L3-7 may not represent typical behavior of a small break LOCA in a PWR, they remain useful in evaluating WCOBRAJIRAC-SB. A comparison of the calculated and measured temperatures upstream of the break, as seen in Figure 20-5-1-1, shows that the calculated temperature (dashed curve) initially decreases several degrees, while the measured temperature indicates an initial increase of approximately 10°F. A comparison of the measured inactive loop hot and cold leg temperatures, as seen in Figure 20-5-1-2, equalizes within approximately 30 seconds into the transient. This indicates the possibility that flow reversal through the RABL occurred by 30 seconds into the transient. The calculated time of flow reversal through the RABL is approximately 30 seconds into the transient as seen in Figure 20-5-1-3. If this is later than the actual time of flow reversal, or the calculated RABL flow is less than the actual flow, these errors allow the calculated temperature to remain low. After the calculated RABL flow reversal, the calculated cold leg temperature increases only slightly. The hot and cold leg temperatures equalize when the hot leg temperature has fallen to the cold leg temperature. Calculated saturation of the inactive loop cold leg is delayed by more than 200 seconds compared to the data as seen in Figures 20-5-1-2 and 20-5-1-4. o-\4384-non\434-20a.wpd:lb-040403 20-27
A comparison of the measured inactive loop mass flowrate and the indicator of the actual break flow, and the calculated break mass flowrate is shown in Figures 20-5-1-5a and 20-5-1-5b. The calculated mass flow is significantly greater than that indicated by the inactive loop flowrate after 200 seconds. This is consistent with the extended period of subcooled flow and lower than measured temperature. Even with an unrealistically high calculated mass ejection through the break, the calculated pressure stays higher than the data after saturation is reached as seen in Figure 20-5-1-6. This may be the result of an underprediction of the quality upstream of the break, as seen in Figure 20-5-1-7, which causes the break to remain plugged. Both the calculated break mass flowrate and system pressure remain higher than the data. The extent to which the assumed RABL leakage area is a contributor to the errors in the simulation of L3-1 is not determinable without explicit knowledge of the RABL leakage during L3-1. At best, the sensitivity of the simulation to RABL leakage could be determined by additional calculations that vary the leakage area. o:\4384-non\4384-20a.wpdlb-040403 20-28

I 20-5-2 Transient Simulation for LOFT LOCE L3-7 LOFT LOCE L3-7 is a 1-inch equivalent break (13.2 mm2 ) using the spoolpiece depicted in Figure 20-3-8. The objective of L3-7 was to establish conditions conducive to long-term natural circulation. However, a geometric distortion exists in the form of the RABL upstream of the break plane. The RABL provides a direct leakage path between the hot and cold legs that does not exist in a full-scale PWR. This may influence the calculations favorably or unfavorably as discussed later in this section. For L3-7, the facility was operated similarly to a full-scale PWR, unlike the other small break LOCEs. The reactor and RCP trips occurred on low pressure. The reactor trip occurred at 36 seconds, and the pump trip occurred at 39.3 seconds, as shown in the sequence of events in Table 20-5-2-1. A comparison of the measured and calculated inactive loop cold leg temperatures upstream of the break, as seen in Figure 20-5-2-1, indicates the code overestimates the temperature during the first 800 seconds. Overall, the WCOBRAITRAC-SB calculations follow the trend of the data, although the calculation predicts the decrease in temperature to occur approximately 200 seconds early. The final calculated temperature is under predicted by approximately 14K (25°F). As shown in Figure 20-5-2a and -2b, the break/mass flow rate predicted by WCOBRA,TRAC-SB follows the unqualified measurement. WCOBRA/TRAC-SB under predicts the unqualified measurement of break flow by approximately 0.2 kg/s by the end of the transient calculation. Since the data are unqualified only the trend can be judged, and the trend is judged to be adequate. The WCOBRAITRAC-SB prediction of inactive loop cold leg pressure adequately matches the data to 400 seconds when both the prediction and measurement are approximately 8 MPa (1100 psia). At 800 seconds the prediction and measurement are approximately the same. After 800 seconds the calculated depressurization rate increases and WCOBRA/TRAC-SB under predicts the data. By the end of the transient calculation the inactive loop cold leg pressure is under predicted by approximately 0.7 MPa (102 psia). The cause of the under prediction appears to be steam generator heat rejection. o:434-non\4384-20a.wpd:lb-040403 20-38
As shown in Figure 20-5-2-4b, natural circulation is predicted to be established between 100 and 200 seconds into the transient. The predicted natural circulation flow is predicted to be between approximately 15 and 22 kg/s. This is less than half of the unqualified measurement (Gillas and Carpenter 1980). As noted previously for unqualified data, only the trend can be judged and the trend is judged to be adequately predicted. Also, shown in Figure 20-5-2-4a and -4b, are the measured and predicted steam generator inlet and outlet temperatures. The predicted temperature difference is greater than measured. Thus the primary system average temperature is significantly under predicted starting at approximately 800 seconds. The error in calculated temperature is a result of overestimation of the auxiliary feedwater flowrate. The result of the under prediction of the loop average temperature is underprediction of the primary system pressure as shown in Figure 20-5-2-3b. Figure 20-5-2-5 compares decay heat and heat rejected to the secondary system. At approximately 700 seconds predicted heat rejection increases from approximately 200 KW to approximately 500 KW. This is consistent with the above observation on steam generator primary side temperature difference. o:\4384-non\4384-20a.wpd:lb-040403 20-39

I 20-5-3 Transient Simulation for LOFT LOCE L3-5 LOCE L3-5 is one of three tests in the LOFT facility that represent 4-inch diameter equivalent breaks in a full-scale PWR. It and the other tests, L3-1 and L3-6, all start from approximately the same boundary conditions. LOCE L3-5 was set up as a break in the active loop cold leg using the break unit depicted in Figure 20-3-9. The reactor was tripped several seconds prior to the initiation of the break as shown in the sequence of events in Table 2-5-3-1 (Dao and Carpenter, 1980). Once the break was opened, the RCPs were tripped and safety injection was initiated on low pressure directly to the downcomer. The accumulators were valved out to allow evaluation of the safety injection system. LOCE L3-5 was terminated at 2309 seconds with closure of the break and the safety injection system. LOCE L3-5 is the most typical of the three tests in its representation of a small break LOCA in a full-scale PWR. The WCOBRAflRAC-SB model used for the transient analysis is as previously described except that the break unit (PIPE 25) is connected to the center cell of channel 66. Safety injection is directed to the upper plenum bypass channel 33. In the WCOBRA/IRAC-SB LOFT model, channel 33 is in the downcomer segment opposite the active loop cold leg. This was done to best represent the injection path without increasing the number of downcomer segments.(') Initial conditions for the analysis are as stated in Section 2043. Calculated and measured hot leg pressures are depicted in Figure 20-5-3-1. At approximately 125 seconds, both the data and the calculation show an increase in primary system pressure. The calculated repressurization ends at approximately 300 seconds. At approximately 300 seconds, the calculated pressure falls below the data and starts to parallel the data at approximately 750 seconds. The calculation ended at 1600 seconds. The potential causes of the calculated behavior are examined in the following paragraphs. The repressurization probably results from a steam generator stall as the cold leg approaches saturation coupled with timing of the pump coastdown. A comparison of the calculated liquid flow at the steam generator inlet and calculated system pressure indicates that the repressurization starts when the liquid flow drops from approximately 65 lb/s to an average of
- 1. The actual injection point is midway between the active loop cold and hot legs. To connect the safety injection to the cell above the active loop cold leg will artificially inject cold water too close to the break o:A4384-non\4384-20a.wpd: lb-040403 20-46
approximately 10 lb/s as shown in Figure 20-5-3-2. Also, natural circulation appears to start at approximately 85 seconds as indicated by the increase in liquid flow. A near mirror image of this behavior is shown for the outlet of the steam generator in Figure 20-5-3-3 with liquid flow out of the steam generator ceasing at approximately 220 seconds. Thus by approximately 120 seconds, the steam generator is stalled and the active hot and cold legs are isolated from each other. The stall occurs as the last RCP reaches zero rotational speed at 120 seconds. Natural circulation decreases as the hot and cold sides of the active loop approach the same temperature as shown in Figure 20-5-3-4. Because the cold side is still calculated to be below the saturation temperature (that is, hot leg temperature), break flow remains slightly subcooled as seen in Figure 20-5-3-5. Data from the experiment show that saturated conditions at the break started at approximately 93 seconds. This limited the pressure rebound in the data. Because the break remains subcooled in the WCOBRArlRAC-SB calculation, the rate at which vapor is being generated in the core exceeds the volume flowrate out of the primary system. Primary system pressure rebounds, and the rebound is greater than the pressure rebound experienced in LOCE L3-5. The measured hot leg pressure shows a decrease in the rate of depressurization from approximately 130 seconds to 150 seconds. WCOBRAfTRAC-SB is correctly modeling the phenomena of the pressure rebound as indicated by the pressure rebound present in the data. The magnitude of the pressure rebound may primarily be the amount of RABL leakage. As shown in Figure 20-5-3-6, the measured liquid level in the steam generator side of the loop seal shows a level depression starting at approximately 400 seconds. The level depression, as measured, does not reach the horizontal pipe run, and the loop seal is not cleared. Leakage through the RABL that results in pressure equalization between the hot and cold legs prevents loop seal clearing. Also, RABL leakage will bring fluid approaching the upper plenum temperature to the cold side of the facility bypassing the active loop steam generator. The effect of the leakage is an increase in active loop cold leg temperature sufficient to cause early voiding and saturation in the active loop cold leg, which results in an early transition to saturated break flow. WCOBRAJIRAC-SB is performing well and within the uncertainties associated with RABL leakage. Because the break flow is calculated to remain subcooled during the pressure rebound, the break flow increases significantly and more mass is removed from the system than is indicated by the data as shown in Figure 20-5-3-5. Calculated break flow remains above the data until single o:\4384-non\4384-20a.wpd:lb-040403 47
phase vapor reaches the break. Because of the greater volume and mass flow out of the primary system, the primary system pressure drops below the data at approximately 400 seconds. A comparison of the calculated collapsed liquid level and the measured liquid level between the centerline of the loop seal and the steam generator inlet is shown in Figure 20-5-3-6. The WCOBRA/TRAC-SB simulation predicts the level to decrease to the top of the elbow, bottom cell of channel 58, at approximately 260 seconds; and the loop seal to pass steam at approximately 300 seconds. Because pump injection was not modeled, level recovery in the loop seal is not indicated in the WCOBRAfIRAC-SB simulation. Primary system coolant inventory decreases to a minimum of approximately 3500 lb at 1800 seconds as seen in Figure 20-5-3-7. The overall influence of pump injection on the transient simulation is minor except for loop seal and total primary inventory. o:\4384-non\4384-20a.wpd:lb-040403 20-48

20-6 Conclusions Overall, WCOBRA/TRAC-SB simulated the phenomenology of the LOFT LOCEs fairly well notwithstanding the probable influence of unknown experimental conditions important to accurate simulation of the experiments. WCOBRAfTRAC-SB simulated LOCE L3-5 well except for the transition from forced to all natural circulation flow that resulted in an extended period of subcooled break flow. The simulation of LOCE L3-1 is initially similar to LOCE 13-5 in that a distinct pressure rebound occurs following the end of forced flow. The effect of the RABL appears to have been underestimated leading to overestimation of system pressure. WCOBRAITRAC-SB well simulated the natural circulation in LOCE L3-7, but underpredicted the depressurization that occurred during the experiment, which may also have resulted from an error in modeling the RABL leakage. 20-7 References Adams, J.

SECTION 21 SIMULATION OF SEMISCALE SMALL BREAK LOCA EXPERIMENTS 21-1 Introduction The Semiscale facility is a small scale (1:1705) replica of a Westinghouse RCS which includes all of the major components. Figure 21-1 shows the layout of the major components in the Mod-2C configuration. There are two loops in the facility, with one scaled as a single loop, and the other scaled as a combined three loops. The facility evolved through several major modifications over the course of approximately a decade of testing and was used for both large and small break experiments. Later modifications to the facility focused on small break LOCA phenomena, and extensive instrumentation was installed to measure key phenomena such as liquid levels and break discharge rates. The simulated reactor vessel houses an electrically heated bundle consisting of 25 heater rods with a total power of 2 MW. The overall scaling philosophy used in designing the facility is the maintenance of the power-to-volume ratio, coupled with a 1:1 elevation scaling criteria (Larson, et al., 1980 and Loomis, 1987). The facility is capable of operating at actual nuclear power plant pressures and temperatures, and therefore, a full range of pressures and fluid states occurs during a transient. 21-2 Key Phenomena Due to the small scale, combined with 1:1 elevation scaling, the corresponding pipe and vessel sizes used to construct the facility are generally characterized as exhibiting 1-D fluid flow behaviors. Therefore, some scaling distortion is expected to be evident in comparisons with larger facilities or full-scale plants. However, the purpose of the experiments is to provide information concerning the overall flow behaviors and qualitative interaction of phenomena that occur throughout the various stages of a small break LOCA in a complete integral RCS. Comparisons of calculated results to the experiments will be focused on general phenomena such as the relative timing of events and the factors which influence fluid distributions within the RCS. One particular phenomenon that the facility can be used to address is the integral effects nature of loop seal clearing. Due to size considerations, Semiscale is argued to exhibit a strong 1-D loop seal clearing behavior with liquid in the piping being moved and expelled in a plug-like fashion. While separate effects facilities address the 3-D phenomena given fixed fluid conditions, they do o:4384non\sec21.wpd:1b-1 12000 21-1
I not provide information on the general aspects of how the loop seals behave over the course of a transient in relation to the fluid distribution in the entire RCS. The accuracy with which the code is able to calculate loop seal formation and clearing when the 3-D aspects are unimportant will be important in establishing its capability to model more complex system interactions, including phase separation and other phenomena for the nuclear power plant (NPP) calculations. Another important phenomenon that influences the severity of small break transients is steam generator tube liquid holdup. This holdup phenomenon was first identified experimentally in a Semiscale small break LOCA experiment (Leonard, 1982); it has since been duplicated in other facilities such as ROSA (Osakabe, et al., 1987) and has been discussed extensively in the open literature (Leonard, 1983 and Loomis, 1985a). Steam generator liquid holdup is the result of liquid being condensed in the upflow side of the tubes relatively early during a small break LOCA transient. This liquid is unable to gravity-drain back through the hot leg because it is impeded by high upward steam flowrates. The large pressure drops induced by this holdup, in turn, affect the hydrostatic head balances throughout the RCS. Whether the pump suction seal clearing phenomenon discussed above results in core uncovery is significantly affected by the amount of liquid holdup. 21-3 Applicable Tests Information from more than 40 small break LOCA tests, which were conducted in the various Semiscale configurations, is available in NUREGICR-4393 and NUREG/CR-4945 (Loomis, 1985b and Loomis, 1987). Because the purpose of the comparisons is to study the more general behaviors during a small break transient, the experiments used for comparison are selected based upon data quality. Given this, the experiments conducted later in the program are better choices because the instrumentation and test procedures at that point were better refined for small breaks. The following are two experiments conducted in the final Semiscale Mod-2C configuration (Loornis and Streit, 1985a): S-LH-1: A 6-inch equivalent cold leg break with downcomer-to-upper head bypass set to 0.9 percent at steady-state S-LH-2: A 6-inch equivalent cold leg break with downcomer-to-upper head bypass set to 3 percent at steady-state o:A4384-non\sec21.wpd:1b-1 12000 21-2
Both of these transients exhibited core uncoveries, which allow investigation of in-bundle mixture level swell and rod heat transfer (Loomis and Streit, 1985b and Shaw and Loomis, 1985). The purpose of varying the vessel upper head bypass was to investigate the influence of this relief path on the core liquid level depressions that occur from the manometric balances that form among the various sections of the RCS: the core/downcomer, pump suction crossover legs, and steam generator tubes. The transients exhibited a notable difference in the amount of core uncovery and rod heatup as a function of upper head bypass flow. The difference was attributed to the timing of upper head drain, which clears a relief path between the upper plenum and the downcomer/cold leg. 21-4 Facility Configuration for Tests S-LH-1 and S-LH-2 In conducting the small pipe break experiments, a tee spool piece is inserted in the loop that is scaled to represent a single NPP loop and is designated as the broken loop. The loop arrangement is shown in Figure 21-1, and a detail of the break spool is shown in Figure 21-2. The break orifice is scaled to represent 5 percent of the cold leg area of a full-size cold leg (27.5-inch inside diameter) and has a diameter of 0.1488 inches, which is equivalent to a 6.37-inch inside diameter break at fll-scale. It is positioned at the horizontal centerline of the cold leg piping, so the break flow will be susceptible to flow regimes in the piping, such as stratification. All of the break effluent is passed through a system of condensing coils and is collected in a catch tank. This arrangement not only allows for accurate measurements of the integral break flow, but also allows for measurement of instantaneous break flow, other than the delay during the initial opening of the break at the start of the experiment. The layout of the vessel upper head area is depicted in Figure 21-3. A bypass line connects the top of the downcomer to the upper head at elevations representative of the reference NPP. A replaceable orifice is inserted in the bypass line and used to adjust the bypass flow ratio to the desired value for the particular experiment. A single tube is scaled to represent the flow area and elevations for the aggregate of all the control rod guide tubes in an NPP. There are also two tubes representing upper internals support columns, which connect the upper head to the upper core plate. These were originally included for experiments modelling the internals configuration of upper head injection plants and were, therefore, plugged off for the experiments to be examined here. The core in the Semiscale facility is composed of 25 electrically heated rods, each of which are geometrically similar to nuclear fuel rods in an NPP with 0.422-inch outside diameter cladding. o:A4384-non\sec21.wpd:lb1A 12000 21-3

The rods are capable of operating at the full steady-state power of a PWR nuclear rod. The resistive element windings are sized such that a stepped cosine axial power profile results, as shown in Figure 21-4, with a peak linear power of approximately 11.2 kW/ft at full power. The steam generators are scaled to a full 1:1 elevation matching the reference NPP, and each individual steam generator tube is made from the same tube stock: 0.776-inch inside diameter, 49.5-mil thick. There are a total of six tubes in the intact loop and two tubes in the broken loop steam generator in order to conserve the scaled heat transfer areas. Elevation scaling is preserved 1:1 relative to the reference NPP. The Semiscale hot legs join together the vessel and the steam generator inlet plenums. This maintains the correct elevations relative to one another. The pump suction piping does not have a horizontal run, as in a full-size NPP, because the volume would have become excessive. In general, due to the use of standard piping sizes, the loop volumes are somewhat overscaled relative to the ideal, but this is not a significant distortion relative to the overall volume of the other major components. 21-5 Description of WCOBRAITRAC-SB Model Figure 21-5 shows the component layout of the WCOBRAITRAC-SB model of the Semiscale Mod-2C system. The reactor vessel, the primary loop piping, and the steam generators are [ The break is modelled as proceeding from the middle cell of the broken cold leg, consistent with the break assembly elevation in the test facility. The break model as described in Section 13 of this volume is used as shown in Figure 21-5 with no discharge coefficient or flow area multiplier I o:W384-non\sec21.wpdIb-1 12000 21-4
]aC The WCOBRAITRAC-SB model, therefore, represents the Semiscale Mod-2C test facility break geometry without any adjustments.
Due to the small scale of the facility, the general thermal-hydraulic behaviors are assumed to be close to 1-D. In particular, the formation and blowout of the pump suction loop seals tend to behave in a plug-like fashion. Experimental measurements in the horizontal piping, including video probe information, verified that there can be significant stratification even at this scale. Therefore, the modelling of the primary loops reflects the same approach as used on the other integral facilities. Information used to compile the facility geometries, and the like, was obtained largely through the review of an available drawing. Where feasible, some parameters were compared to the facility description and RELAP model document of Leonard (Leonard, 1981). Additionally, personnel at INEL were contacted to reconcile some of the more ambiguous items, operating conditions, and procedures. Figure 21-6 shows the nodalization of the simulated reactor vessel using the VESSEL component. The WCOBRA/IRAC-SB noding used for the Semiscale facility is consistent with the nodalizations of the other integral test facility simulations and the nodalization used in the PWR computations. The number of each section in the vessel is shown, together with the number of cells within each section, in parentheses. Figure 21-6 shows the elevation of the vessel for WCOBRAfIRAC-SB analysis. The section boundary heights are relative to the inside of the bottom of the vessel. Values within squares are channel numbers, and values within circles are gap numbers. WCOBRAfIRAC-SB assumes that a flow path exists between vertically connected channels, unless otherwise specified in the input. Transverse flow between channels in the same section only exists if the channels are specified as connected by gaps. The volume, axial flow area, and wetted perimeter of each channel is specified in the code input. There is also the capability to vary these quantities within a channel if the geometry warrants. As in the facility, the downcomer is a stand-alone pipe with a short annulus region at the top (Sections 7 and 8) where the cold leg piping is connected. The cold legs and hot legs [

I Figures 21-7 and 21-8 show the models of the two steam generators for the intact and broken loops, respectively. Because the steam generator tubes remain mostly covered throughout the transients, the amount of axial detail shown is judged to be adequate for modelling the phenomena of interest. [
.t,l ]a,c A set of reference points and four quadrant homologous curves are supplied for the primary recirculation pumps. However, in general, because the pumps are tripped relatively early in the transient, the contribution of the pumps is made during periods in which they are pumping a positive head of single-phase liquid. Because the Semiscale pumps physically do not have a scaled moment of inertia, they are controlled on a powered coastdown curve after the trip. This behavior is replicated in the input to WCOBRA/TRAC-SB.
Similarly, the electrical power to the core heater rods is controlled by a computer program to simulate a normalized decay heat curve, and this is duplicated as shown in Figure 21-10. The pumped safety injection system used in the Semiscale facility uses positive displacement pumps. The pumps are controlled by a computer which uses a pressure measurement from the RCS as input to vary the injection rate as a function of pressure to follow a prescribed curve to simulate the performance of a centrifugal pump. Figure 21-11 shows the injection rates for the intact and broken loop safety injection pumps as a function of pressure, as actually derived by oA4384-non\sec21.wpd:1b-1 12000 21-6
INEL personnel during post-experimental data reduction. The curve for the intact loop pump shows an anomalous behavior over the range of pressures from about 400 to 800 psi. Because this is the best estimate of the actual safety injection pump characteristics, it has been modelled in the WCOBRA/TRAC-SB analysis as shown. 21-6 Steady-State Simulations Steady-state operating conditions are attained in the WCOBRA/TRAC-SB model by running the code with no break in the system until conditions have stabilized. Table 21-1 compares the key parameters from test S-LH-1 to those obtained by the model; Table 21-2 provides the same information for test S-LH-2. All of the parameters are within acceptable tolerances for conducting validation simulations. The vessel upper head bypass flow ratios in the WCOBRA/ TRAC-SB steady-state simulation match the S-LH-1 and S-LH-2 experiments well. Because upper head bypass was the critical parameter varied between the two tests in the LH test series, it is important in these simulations to obtain good agreement of the bypass flow to the experimental value. The steady-state secondary masses do not agree well with the reported values from the experiment. However, this parameter has a large uncertainty associated with it; a review of related Semiscale documentation (Shimeck, 1983) shows that secondary mass has a large range of possible values. Also, in the description of the INEL simulation of the experiments with the RELAP5 code, it is stated that it was necessary to run the model with lower masses to maintain stable operation (Loomis and Streit, 1985b). The amount of secondary inventory in the WCOBRATRAC-SB model allows for substantial coverage of the tube bundles. Therefore, the effect on the transient predictions of any discrepancies in secondary mass (if in fact they exist) are judged to be insignificant. 21-7 Transient Simulations The steady-state model conditions, as described in the previous section, were used to perform simulations of tests S-LH-1 and S-LH-2. This set of 5-percent small break LOCA experiments in the Semiscale MOD-2C facility addressed the sensitivity to vessel upper head bypass. Through review of the calculational results in comparison to the test data, it was determined that the holdup of liquid in the steam generator tubes, and associated phenomena in the hot legs and loop o:\4384-non\sec21 .wpd:Ib1 12000 21-7
seal piping, was a dominant factor with regard to the ability to replicate the experimental results. The following discussion will compare the code predictions to data from tests S-LH-1 and S-LH-2. 21-7-1 S-LH-1 Simulation Results Figure 21-12 shows the pressurizer pressure transient from the WCOBRAJTRAC-SB test S-LH-l calculations (dashed line) compared to test data (solid line). At the opening of the break, the model predicts the pressure to drop to near the hot leg saturation value a bit more rapidly than the experimental data indicate. Once the calculation reaches hot leg saturation (approximately 1700 psi) agreement exists between the data and prediction as primary fluid begins to flash. Once the system depressurizes to cold leg saturation (approximately 1100 psi), the depressurization rate slows appreciably both in the experiment and the calculation. After this point, WCOBRArRAC-SB overpredicts, than underpredicts pressure. Overall, the WCOBRAITRAC-SB calculation predicts the primary pressure well versus the test data all the way through the accumulator actuation. The time of accumulator injection is predicted to occur approximately 20 seconds earlier than in the test. Figure 21-13 overlays the predicted primary pressure, as a solid line, along with the predicted steam generator secondary side pressures as dashed lines, with the intact loop steam generator - exhibiting a higher value than the broken loop value most of the time. Figure 21-14 overlays the broken and intact loop steam generator pressures against the test S-LH-1 data. In general for small break LOCAs, during the initial portion of the transient, the primary pressure hovers above the secondary pressure because the break energy removal is supplemented by continuing heat transfer to the steam generator secondary side fluid. Once the loop seals clear (approximately 190 seconds in the prediction), the break uncovers, the primary depressurizes, and the secondaries became heat sources. After loop seal clearance occurs, the steam generator secondary pressure becomes unimportant. During the early portion of the transient, the secondary pressures predicted by WCOBRA/rRAC-SB are higher than in the experiment. The first stage safety valve setpoint on the steam generator secondaries is set at 1047 psia. In the experiment, neither secondary pressure reached the setpoint, while in the calculation, the broken loop pressure is predicted to reach the setpoint. As discussed in Section 21-6 on the steady-state parameters, the amount of initial secondary inventory is suspected to be low in the calculation relative to the experimental conditions. Due to scaling distortions, the Semiscale steam generators have a large amount of structural mass relative to fluid volume, including some large "fillers" in the intact loop generator. Comparing the behavior of the predicted secondary oA434-non\sec21.wpd:1b-1 12000 21-8
pressures to the experiment, it is speculated that the misprediction is due at least in part to the liquid mass of the steam generator secondary in WCOBRAflRAC-SB being too small relative to the metal mass. Focusing on the broken loop steam generator, once the initial peak has passed, the predicted and experimental pressures agree well until beyond the time of loop seal clearance. Then, heat transfer to the cooler secondary side metal causes the pressure in WCOBRAITRAC to fall below the data. Toward the end of the transient, reverse heat transfer from the metal to the secondary side liquid holds up the predicted pressure versus the data. Figure 21-15 compares the measured (solid line) and calculated break mass flowrates. The experimental data, obtained from a catch tank system, have good accuracy for integral flow but do not always reflect sudden flowrate changes. For instance, at the opening of the break, the measured break flow may lag somewhat because of the transit time and buffering effects of the condensing coil system. In general, it is seen that the WCOBRAITRAC-SB calculation is in good agreement with the experimental measurement during the first 30 seconds of the transient. For the next 120 seconds of the transient, the predicted break flow is somewhat low (on the average by about 20 percent) as its trend follows the data. This leads to a collapsed liquid level prediction above the data in this time interval in Figure 21-16. At the time of loop seal clearance in the calculation, the predicted break flow drops suddenly. The same phenomenon occurs in the test data, but 20 seconds earlier. Following loop seal clearance, WCOBRAITRAC-SB predicts a significantly larger break flow than the data for 60 - 70 seconds. Figure 21-16 compares the collapsed liquid level predicted in the core region to the test data as provided by Loomis and Streit (Loomis and Streit, 1985b) and shown as the solid line. The notable differences between the data and the calculation are that the calculation predicts a depression and recovery of the level in the core approximately 20 seconds late during loop seal clearance and then predicts a collapsed liquid level that is approximately 2.5 ft low in the ensuing period until accumulator actuation. In the test data, the core level depression observed to bottom out at approximately 170 seconds is relieved by the intact loop pump suction seal blowout. In WCOBRAfRAC-SB a very similar loop seal behavior is predicted. This indicates that there is a similar liquid holdup in the steam generator tubes in the prediction as in the test. Later on in the transient, the predicted core level is well below the measured value because WCOBRAfTRAC-SB predicts too high a break flow post-loop seal clearing. Figures 21-17 and 21-18 show the calculated void fractions in the top two nodes in the pump suction piping for the intact and broken loops. The solid and dashed lines in the figures are the top and middle nodes, respectively. In test S-LH-1, once the intact loop seal cleared, the pressure o:\4384-non\sec21.wpd:1b-I 12000 21-9
I relief temporarily removed the driving heads for clearing the broken loop seal, which eventually blew out at approximately 270 seconds. In the simulation, as in the test, the flow through the cleared intact loop is inadequate to prevent the broken loop from clearing. After the initial clearance of each loop seal, the loop seal refills partially. The broken loop loop seal middle node does refill completely for a short time and then reclears later on. The upflow sides of each of the pump suction legs were swept out gradually, which is in good agreement with the type of behavior observed in all Semiscale small break LOCA experiments. Figure 21-19 compares the core heater rod temperature response of the lead rod in the test S-LH-1 data with the peak temperature predicted by WCOBRAITRAC-SB indicated by the dashed curve. WCOBRA/TRAC does not predict a modest heatup of the heater rods during the loop seal clearance even though the severity of the core depression is predicted well. This indicates that the two-phase mixture level is overpredicted by IYCOBRA/rRAC-SB. The code-predicted heatup above saturation temperature during the core boiloff portion of the transient is approximately 540'F, versus approximately 400°F in the test. As is evident in Figure 21-19, the predicted heater rod temperature excursion is of longer duration than in the test. This is a consequence of the code underprediction of collapsed level. Figure 21-19 also indicates that there may be another overprediction of nixture level swell in the Semiscale heated rod bundle; the collapsed level at which the core boiloff excursion in clad temperature begins is about 0.2 feet lower than in the experiment. The heat transfer prediction in the uncovered core situation, as shown in Section 12 of this document, is close to the data. The WCOBRA/TRAC-SB underprediction of collapsed liquid level and overprediction of level swell in the core region compensate somewhat but produce a PCT value above the data. Figure 21-20 provides a comparison of the integrated break mass flow between experiment and prediction. For the transient overall, the agreement is within 1 percent; the low break flow that occurs in WCOBRAJIRAC-SB at low subcoolinglsaturated liquid conditions before the clearance of the intact loop loop seal at 190 seconds, defines the largest point of departure in the WCOBRA/TRAC prediction from the data. The excessive break flow predicted by WCOBRA/TRAC-SB for two-phase flow after loop seal clearance brings the code's integrated total back to the data, and by the time the pressure decreases to the accumulator setpoint (630 psi), the integrated break flows are a close match. The error in overpredicting the two-phase flow compensates for the previous underprediction of the break flow. o:\4384-non\sec21 .wpd:1b- 112000 21-10
21-7-2 S-LH-2 Simulation Results Figure 21-21 shows that the integrated break mass flow comparison for the test S-LH-2 prediction and data follows the same trend as the test S-LH-1 result. Figure 21-22 shows the pressurizer pressure transient from the WCOBRATRAC-SB test S-LH-2 calculations (dashed line) compared to test data (solid line). As was the case for S-LH-1 at the opening of the break, the model over-predicts the pressure drop to near the hot leg saturation value. The initial depressurization of the system is totally dependent upon the draining of the pressurizer, which is restricted by the surge line to the hot leg. Once the calculation reaches hot leg saturation (approximately 1700 psi), agreement exists between the data and prediction as primary fluid begins to flash. Once the system depressurizes to cold leg saturation (approximately 1100 psi), the depressurization rate slows appreciably both in the experiment and the calculation. Then, the WCOBRArRAC-SB calculation over-predicts the primary pressure versus the test data for a time, but the predicted value decreases so that the predicted accumulator actuation time is approximately on the mark. Figure 21-23 overlays the predicted primary pressure (solid line) along with the predicted steam generator secondary side pressures (dashed lines) with the intact loop steam generator - exhibiting a higher value than the broken loop unit most of the time. Figure 21-24 overlays the broken and intact loop steam generator pressures against the test S-LH-2 data. In general for small break LOCAs, during the initial portion of the transient, the primary pressure hovers above the secondary pressure because the break energy removal is supplemented by continuing heat transfer to the secondaries. Once the intact loop loop seal clears (approximately 200 seconds), the break uncovers and the primary side can depressurize below the secondaries. During the early portion of the transient, the secondary pressures are predicted to be higher than in the experiment. The first stage safety setpoint on the steam generator secondaries is set at 1047 psi. Contrary to the experiment, where neither secondary reached the setpoint, WCOBRAfIRAC-SB predicts the broken loop steam generator secondary pressure to reach the setpoint for a few seconds. As discussed in Section 21-7-1, the amount of initial secondary inventory is suspected to be low in the calculation relative to the experimental conditions and to the steam generator metal mass. The WCOBRATRAC predicted steam generator secondary pressures exceed the test values during the transient until after loop seal clearance occurs. Figure 21-25 compares the measured (solid line) and calculated break mass flowrates. The experimental data, obtained from a catch tank system, have good accuracy for integral flow, but do not always reflect sudden flowrate changes. In general, it is seen that the o:4384-non\sec21 .wpd:Ib-1 12000 21-1 1
I WCOBRArIRAC-SB calculation is in good agreement with the experimental measurement during the first 25 seconds of the transient. For the next 90 seconds of the transient, the predicted break flow is somewhat low (about 35-40 percent) in the low subcooling/saturated liquid region. Clearing of the intact loop seal in the prediction (within a few seconds of the time that it cleared in the experiment) affects the break mass flow comparison thereafter, in the same way as in S-LH-1. The overprediction of two-phase break flow compensate for the previous underprediction of the break flow. Figure 21-26 compares the collapsed liquid level predicted in the core region to the test data. The notable difference between the data and the calculation is the greater decrease in the predicted level after 350 seconds, before which the agreement is good. The calculation predicts a depression and recovery of the level in the core, and, consistent with the data, the pump suction seal depression and blowout causes no core uncovery. Not until the longer term boiloff begins at approximately 300 seconds into the experiment, causing a depletion of inventory, does any core heatup occur in test S-LH-2. The S-LH-2 prediction shows an increase in core collapsed level in the time interval between 485-510 seconds. This is caused by the sudden draining of liquid that has been held up in the intact loop hot leg back into the reactor vessel upper plenum. Once this draining is complete, the core region collapsed liquid level of WCOBRAfIRAC-SB agrees very < well with the test value. The error in predicting the core collapsed level is compensated for by the draining of liquid that WCOBRA/TRAC-SB has held up in the hot leg due to its overprediction of CCFL. Figure 21-27 shows the predicted void fractions in the intact loop pump suction piping middle and top nodes. Figure 21-28 provides void fractions in nodes in the pump suction piping for the broken loop as predicted by WCOBRA/TRAC-SB. The solid and dashed lines are the top and middle nodes, respectively, in these two figures. The WCOBRAiTRAC-SB model predicts no clearing of the broken loop loop seal, which is consistent with the test result. The steam relief flow path through the vessel upper head is sufficient, together with the cleared intact loop, to vent steam to the break. Figure 21-27 shows the middle node in the intact loop pipe tends to replug after clearing. Figure 21-29 compares the core heater rod temperature response of the lead rod in the test S-LH-2 data with the peak temperature predicted by WCOBRATRAC-SB. In contrast to the test, WCOBRAITRAC-SB predicts two periods of heatup of the heater rods during the transient. The mass addition from draining of the intact hot leg causes the code-predicted initial heatup l above saturation temperature during the core boiloff portion of the transient to terminate. In o:\4384-non\sec2I.wpd:Ib-I 12000 21-12
Figure 21-29, the second predicted heater rod temperature excursion begins at about the same time as the test excursion, but at a collapsed liquid level about 0.4 lower than in the test. This behavior is consistent with that previously noted in the test S-LH-1 discussion. 21-8 Conclusions The S-LH-1 and S-LH-2 experiments of the Semiscale Mod-2C configuration have been simulated with the WCOBRAIRAC-SB model using the boundary conditions from these small break LOCA experiments. A comparison of calculated steady-state conditions from the model to experimental data is generally in good agreement, and all parameters were within acceptable tolerances for performing transient simulations to ascertain the general ability of the code to predict the major thermal-hydraulic phenomena. A review of the calculation results indicates that the code is generally doing a good job of predicting the key small break LOCA parameters. Notably, the expected top-down drain of the system and the formation of quasi-equilibrium hydrostatic balances associated with liquid inventories in the vertical components, particularly the core/downcomer and pump suction loop piping, are reasonable. Key transient parameters of depressurization rate and break mass discharge are predicted adequately. The predicted heater rod temperature excursions differ somewhat from the data; the lower collapsed liquid level in the core region in the S-LH-1 simulation leads to a higher PCT than was observed in the test, while a delayed hot leg draining leads to a dual temperature excursion in the test S-LH-2 simulation. Consistent with the findings reported in Chapter 13, in the Semiscale simulations WCOBRA/TRAC-SB underpredicts the critical mass flux for saturated liquid, then overpredicts critical flow for two-phase conditions. 21-9 References Larson, T.

SECTION 22 NUCLEAR ROD AND COMPONENT MODEL ASSESSMENT 22-1 Nuclear Fuel Rod Model 22-1-1 Introduction The fuel rod model in WCOBRAfLRAC is used to predict the following quantities: a) Fuel Initial Stored Energy During normal operation, the fuel average temperature in the high power rod is approximately 2000°F, controlled primarily by the relatively low conductivity of the fuel and the thermal resistance of the gap between the fuel and the cladding. During the LOCA, this stored energy is conducted to the cladding and is the primary contributor to the degree to which the cladding heats up early in the LOCA transient. b) Fuel Rod Thermal Conduction During the LOCA, residual power and stored energy accumulates in or is removed from the fuel. The change in fuel and cladding temperature is controlled primarily by the fuel conductivity and specific heat and by the changing thermal resistance in the fuel-clad gap. c) Cladding Swelling and Burst During the LOCA, internal pressure and high cladding temperature may cause the cladding to deform. This deformation is controlled primarily by the predicted cladding temperature and the burst and strain rate models used. d) Cladding Rewet Rewet may occur during the LOCA. This process may involve the rewetting of large areas of cladding surface as a result of the cladding cooling to temperatures o:4384-non\4384-22.wpd:lb-04043 22-1
I below the minimum film boiling temperature, or the slower quenching process during reflood resulting from axial conduction in the fuel rod. e) Cladding Reaction Reaction between the zirconium in the cladding and the steam environment during the LOCA deposits additional energy into the cladding which must be removed. The reaction rate is controlled primarily by the cladding temperature and by the cladding surface area presented to the steam. f) Residual Fission and Decay Heat Throughout the LOCA, additional energy is deposited into the fuel. The rate of energy generation is controlled early in the transient by the rate of void generation in the core, which is the primary cause of shutdown of the fission process during the LOCA, and later in the transient by the assumed composition of the fuel as fission product decay continues. The models used in WCOBRA/TRAC-SB to predict the above quantities are described in Volume 1, Sections 7 and 8, of this document. In the following sections, the ability of WCOBRAlIRAC-SB to predict the above quantities is assessed. Uncertainties in these models are considered in Section 25 of WCAP-12945-P-A (Bajorek, et al., 1998). 22-1-2 Fuel Rod Model Assessment The following paragraphs discuss the fuel rod model: a) Fuel Initial Stored Energy The fuel temperature during normal operation depends, in complex ways, on fuel pellet condition and its properties. One of the most complex processes that affects this parameter is the relocation of the fuel pellet within the cladding and the resulting asymmetric fuel-clad gap. Complex fuel rod computer models have been developed to predict the fuel temperature as a function of power and burnup. For Westinghouse fuel, the fuel performance code PAD (Weiner, et al., 1985) is used. Incorporating all the detailed models necessary into WCOBRAflRAC is not o:\4384-non\4384-22Zwpd:lb-04043 22-2
practical. The predicted WCOBRAIIRAC fuel temperature, during normal operation, is compared with values predicted from the PAD code for the fuel design being considered. Agreement between PAD and WCOBRAfIRAC predicted fuel temperature is obtained by adjusting the fuel-cladding gap width, which is an input quantity in WCOBRAITRAC. In predicting the LOFT experiments, as described in Section 14-1 of WCAP-12945-P-A (Bajorek, et al., 1998a), the initial fuel temperature for the LOFT core was obtained by using the PAD information for fuel of similar design and composition and using the same approach as in the PWR. No further adjustments were made. This, therefore, amounts to a "blind" prediction of the initial fuel temperature for LOFT. The reasonable agreement between the predicted and measured cladding temperatures for LOFT is evidence that the method for predicting this quantity in WCOBRAJTRAC is also reasonable. b) Fuel Rod Thermal Conduction Two experiments were used to assess the ability of WCOBRAfrRAC to predict the transient temperature of a fuel rod. The LOFT tests include comparisons with cladding and fuel temperatures. The composition of the gas in the LOFT fuel rods is similar to that of a PWR fuel rod; consequently, these comparisons provide evidence that the gap conductivity model is working properly. The LOFT fuel rods were not highly pressurized. Therefore, the cladding did not deform significantly. Two National Research Universal (NRU) reflood tests were simulated to examine the gap conductance predictive capability of the code with deformed cladding. NRU test MT-3.06 used pressurized nuclear fuel rods, while test PTH-1 10 used unpressurized rods. These simulations are described in Sections 22-1-3 through 22-1-7 of WCAP-12945-P-A (Bajorek, et al., 1998). c) Cladding Swelling and Burst NRU test MT-3.06 is used to assess the models in WCOBRAIRAC for cladding swell and burst. This test and the WCOBRA1 TRAC simulation are described in Sections 22-1-3 through 22-1-6 of WCAP-12945-P-A. o:\4384-non\4384-22.wpd:lb-04043 22-3
d) Cladding Rewet The cladding rewet model in WCOBRA/TRAC consists of two parts: the heat transfer coefficient model, described in Section 6-2-6 of this document, and the axial conduction model, described in Section 7-3-1 of this document. These combined models are extensively assessed in WCAP-12945-P-A, Volume II (Bajorek, et al., 1998b), and in the integral tests in Section 14 (Bajorek, et al., 1998a). e) Cladding Reaction The cladding reaction model in WCOBRA/TRAC is described in Section 7-5 of this document. Few tests other than those laboratory experiments used to derive the reaction rate formula are available for verification of this quantity. A few tests early in the FLECHT program were performed with zircaloy cladding. However, the contribution to cladding heatup resulting from the reaction could not be identified. The NRU tests did not reach cladding temperature high enough to cause the reaction rate to become significant. Therefore, the reaction rate equations are based directly on the oxidation test results reported in ORNLINUREG-17 (Cathcart, et al., 1977) and WCAP-12610 (Burman, 1990). f) Residual Fission and Decay Heat The reactor kinetics and decay heat model are described in Section 8 of this document. This model was used in a manner analogous to the approach in the PWR, using values of the moderator temperature coefficient and initial boron concentration existing in the LOFT facility at the time of the experiment. The resulting predicted core power is compared with measured values in Section 14-1 of WCAP-12945-P-A and shows that the model adequately predicts residual power. 22-1-3 NRU Test Description The NRU reactor at the Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories in Canada was used to conduct a series of experimental tests to investigate the therrmal-hydraulic and mechanical deformation behavior of nuclear rods in a LOCA. The test bundles were made of full-length, 3-percent enriched, 17x17 fuel rods powered by low level nuclear fission to simulate decay heat. Two NRU tests o:4384-non\4384-22 wpd:Ib44043 22-4
were modelled and simulated with WCOBRA/TRAC: test PTH-110, which was primarily a thermal-hydraulic test, and test MT-3.06, which was a mechanical deformation test. The PTH-1 10 test is described in NUREG/CR-1882 (Mohr, et al., 1981) and the MT-3.06 test in NUREG/CR-2528 (Mohr, et al., 1983). 22-14 NRU Test Bundle Description The NRU test train was approximately 30 feet long and consisted of six major sections: the inlet region, the test bundle, the shroud, the outlet region, the hanger, and the closure head. The entire test train was inside a pressure tube inside the NRU reactor. The closure region provided the pressure boundary between the test train and the NRU pressure tube. Figure 22-1-1 shows a configuration of the NRU test train and the NRU pressure tube. The hanger tube suspended the test bundle and shroud from the closure head. The 14-foot stainless steel shroud, constructed from two halves clamped together at 7-inch intervals, supported the test bundle. The PTH-1 10 fuel bundle consisted of a 6x6 segment of a 17x17 PWR assembly with the four corner rods removed for easier insertion in the shroud. Figure 22-1-2 shows a cross section of the PTH-1 10 test section. The outer ring of 16 rods plus the corner rods of the next inner ring served as guard rod heaters during the tests. The central 11 rods with the instrument thimble (inside the dotted line in Figure 22-1-2), arranged in a cruciform pattern, were the test rods of interest. The nuclear fuel rods had a cladding outside diameter of 0.379 inches and a pellet diameter of 0.325 inches. The rod-to-rod pitch was 0.502 inches, and the chopped cosine power profile had a peak power of 0.55 kW/ft at the 6-foot elevation. None of the rods in test PTH-1 10 were prepressurized. The MT-3.06 fuel bundle also consisted of a 6x6 segment of a 17x17 assembly with the four corner rods removed. In MT-3.06, however, the instrument tube was replaced by a fuel rod. Thus, the cross section of the MT-3.06 test section is the same as that shown in Figure 22-1-2 with a fuel rod in place of the instrument tube. In addition, the 12 central rods in the MT-3.06 bundle (inside the dotted line in Figure 22-1-2) were pressurized to 550 psia. All 12 of these rods ruptured during test MT-3.06. Horizontal movement and/or bowing was restricted by seven typical PWR grid spacers at 21-inch intervals, starting at the beginning of the heated length. The shroud was insulated on the outer surface to reduce the amount of heat loss to the environment. o:\4384-non\4384-22.wpd:lb-04043 22-5
The experimental test conditions were obtained in two steps: a steady-state phase and a transient phase. During the steady-state phase, the rod power was slowly increased to the desired value for the particular test while the dry steam coolant flowrate was decreased to produce a peak cladding temperature of 800°F. The steady-state conditions were maintained at these values until the thermocouple readings stabilized. The transient phase was then initiated. The steam coolant flow was stopped as quickly as possible; then reflood was started at the desired flowrate. The time period between steam shutoff and reflood initiation was an adiabatic heatup period, which continued until the specified maximum peak cladding temperature was reached. 22-1-5 WCOBRA/TRAC Model of NRU The NRU rod bundle is modelled using the VESSEL component. Boundary conditions are applied to the top and bottom VESSEL cells. The PIPE and zero-velocity FILL components are attached to the VESSEL solely to fulfill the requirement that the model contain at least one one-dimensional component. Figure 22-1-3 shows the WCOBRAITRAC noding diagram of NRU which was used for the MOD7A analysis. The VESSEL component is composed of four channels. Two channels are used to model the rod bundle section: channel 2 for the inner region of the bundle, with a cross-sectional flow area of 1.67 square inches, and channel 3 for the outer region, which includes the shroud wall with a cross-sectional flow area of 3.912 square inches. Channels 1 and 4 are used to represent entrance and exit regions, respectively. The axial lengths are shown in Figure 22-1-3 and are typically 10.5 inches. For the simulation of test MT-3.06, the inner region modelled by channel 2 contains 11 test rods and an instrument tube. The test rods are represented by rod 1. For the simulation of test PTH-1 0, rod 1 represents the 12 interior test rods. The 20 guard rods in the outer region are modelled by rod 2 for both test simulations. Both rods are given the WCOBRAITRAC default material properties of U0 2 fuel and Zircaloy-4 cladding. The shroud wall is modelled as an unpowered conductor with a tube geometry connected to channel 3. The initial temperatures for the rods and the shroud were determined from the thermocouple measurements for each test. The cold gap size between the fuel pellet and the cladding was based on the initial undeformed dimensions. In the initialization and during the transient simulations, the WCOBRAITRAC dynamic gap conductance model was used to predict the effective heat transfer coefficient across the fuel pellet-clad gap. o:\4384-non\4384-22.wpd:lb-04043 22-6
22-1-6 Simulation of NRU Test MT-3.06 Test MT-3.06 was simulated for the first 310 seconds of the transient using WCOBRA/TRAC-MOD7A. The flowrate into the bundle and the fluid temperature are shown in Figure 22-1-4. The initial flowrate was approximately 0.42 bm/s, which decreased steadily after 50 seconds to a rate of just less than 0.1 bm/s for the remainder of the transient. The predicted and measured inner cladding temperatures at NRU level 15 are compared in Figure 22-1-5 for the inner rods (rod 1) and in Figure 22-1-6 for the guard rods (rod 2). This elevation was 97.3 inches from the bottom of the active fuel. The predicted temperatures for the inner rods track the data for about the first 40 seconds of the transient; then they drop below the data. This point in time corresponds to the first sharp reduction in flooding rate (Figure 22-1-4) and reflects the resulting increase in entrainment. The predicted temperatures for the outer guard rods, which are at a higher average power, track the data for about 120 seconds before dropping below the data as the flooding rate is reduced to the minimum. At NRU level 17, the predicted inner cladding temperatures exceed the data after about 140 seconds for the inner rods and after about 80 seconds for the guard rods. These comparisons are shown in Figures 22-1-7 and 22-1-8, respectively. At NRU level 18, which was located near the bundle exit (139.3 inches above the bottom of the active fuel), the predicted inner cladding temperature for the guard rods exceeds the data after about 50 seconds, as shown in Figure 22-1-9. Comparisons of predicted and measured pellet centerline temperatures are shown in Figure 22-1-10 for the guard rod at level 15 and in Figure 22-1-11 for the inner rod at Level 17. These comparisons show the same general trends as the corresponding inner cladding temperatures, indicating that the gap conductance and fuel conductivity are reasonably predicted.

Cladding deformation and burst information predicted by WCOBRAITRAC are compared with the experimental data in Table 22-1-1. The information provided under the "Data" column is the averages of the data provided in Tables 6 and 7 of NUREG/CR-2528 (Mohr, et al., 1983). The burst times, temperatures, and strains predicted by MOD7A are in good agreement. The burst elevations require some additional discussion, which follows. WCOBRA/TRAC predicts rupture of Zircaloy-4 cladding as a function of heatup rate and engineering hoop stress, as described in Section 7-4-1 of this document. This typically results in the burst elevation coinciding with the heat transfer node with the highest temperature at the time of rupture. This was true in the NRU MT-3.06 simulation. [
]a.c Figure 22-1-13 shows a comparison of the predicted rod 1 internal pressure to the measured plenum pressure of rod 2C. [ ]axc The pressure increase at 110 seconds in Figure 22-1-13 is due to heatup of the fuel above the quench front and dryout of the cladding at the top of the fuel rod. The MT-3.06 test used a variable (decreasing) flooding rate, which resulted in stagnation of the quench front. The resulting heatup of the gas in the pellet-cladding gap, the fuel stack, and the plenum lead to the calculated pressure increase.
The early underprediction of the rod pressure transient in Figure 22-1-13 raised questions whether a tendency exists to not calculate burst and blockage in a PWR transient, when burst realistically should occur. To resolve this issue, Westinghouse committed to increasing the hot assembly rod initial pressure until burst and blockage are achieved if the nominal calculation results in a hot assembly rod reflood PCT greater than 1600°F without burst. In these unlikely cases, the most limiting of the burst and nonburst cases will be used as input to the uncertainty evaluation. o:\4384-non\4384-22.wpd:b-04043 22-8
22-1-7 Simulation of NRU Test PTH-110 Test PTH-1 10 was simulated using WCOBRAIIRAC-MOD7A. The inlet temperature transient used in the simulation was taken from the data report and is shown in Figure 22-1-14. The inlet flowrate was set to the nominal value of 1.9 in/s, based on Table 2 of NUREG/CR-1882 (Mohr, et al., 1981). Initial rod temperature data were reported at levels 13, 15, and 17 only for PTH-1 10. The initial temperature distribution in the lower regions of the bundle were, therefore, estimated using the more detailed initial distributions measured in the MT-3.06 tests. Figures 22-1-15 through 22-1-17 compare the predicted and measured inner cladding temperatures at levels 17 and 18. Figures 22-1-18 and 22-1-19 compare the predicted and measured pellet centerline temperatures for the inner and guard rods, respectively. Each of these comparisons shows reasonable agreement with the data. 22-1-8 Summary and Conclusions Simulations of LOFT and NRU were made using WCOBRAfrRAC to validate the nuclear rod models. Predictions of cladding temperatures in LOFT were in good agreement with the data as were the predictions of cladding and pellet temperatures in NRU test PTH-1 10. The simulation of NRU test MT-3.06 showed a tendency to [
] Even so, the simulation showed reasonable agreement with the test data for rupture and blockage. The underprediction of the measured rod pressure transient early in MT-3.06 raised questions regarding whether a tendency exists to not calculate burst and blockage in a PWR transient when burst realistically should occur. To resolve this issue, Westinghouse committed to increasing the hot assembly rod initial pressure until burst and blockage are achieved if a WCOBRAIRAC calculation results in a hot assembly rod reflood PCT greater than 1600°F without burst. In these unlikely cases, the most limiting of the burst and nonburst cases will be used as input to the uncertainty evaluation.

22-2 Accumulator Component 22-2-1 Introduction The accumulator component model is described in Volume 1, Section 9-8, of this document. Section 9-8 also describes the phases of accumulator water injection, emptying, and accumulator nitrogen discharge. In verifying the application of the model to the PWR, WCOBRAJTRAC calculations were perforned and the results were compared to available separate effects accumulator test data. In addition, nitrogen discharge effects were assessed. 22-2-2 Indian Point Unit 2 Accumulator Test An accumulator blowdown test was performed at Indian Point Unit 2 in 1971 during startup testing. The initial gas pressure in the accumulator was about 100 psig, the gas volume was about 400 cubic feet, and the water volume was 700 cubic feet. Test runs were performed at ambient temperature (80°F) with an RCS back pressure of 0 psig. The cold legs were empty, and the water level in the vessel was well below the cold leg nozzle elevation. The control valves used to initiate the test runs were set to open from 0 to 100 percent in 10 seconds. Test runs were performed for the four accumulators that had various accumulator line lengths. The test runs would terminate when the pressure in the accumulator reached approximately 20 psig while the accumulator line was still in single-phase liquid flow. The measured pressure responses of the four accumulators were all similar. Pressure response for one of the accumulators was selected for WCOBRAIRAC model verification. Figure 22-2-1 shows the layout of the accumulator piping. 22-2-3 WCOBRAflRAC Model A WCOBRA/TRAC model was constructed to simulate the accumulator test. A typical PWR model of the accumulator and its piping consists of up to four WCOBRAfTRAC model components: an accumulator, one or two valves, and a pipe, as shown in Figure 22-2-2. In this model, the RCS is simulated by a BREAK component, supplying a constant back pressure. The volume, height, length, and hydraulic diameter for the accumulator and the accumulator line are all preserved. The various levels and elevation changes in the actual line are simplified to some extent as shown by the dotted lines in Figure 22-2-1. The line resistance in the accumulator line is simulated in two ways: using the WCOBRA/TRAC built-in friction model (NFF = 4) and using the hydraulic resistance (fLlD) value obtained from measurement and uniformly o:\434-non\4384-22-2wpd.b-O4043 22-25
distributed over the pipe length. Little difference is observed in the two approaches. The initial and boundary conditions are the same as those used in the 1971 Indian Point Unit 2 test. A L, steady-state run of 20 seconds was first performed, followed by a blowdown run initiated by opening a control valve in the accumulator line. The valve reached 100-percent opening within the first 10 seconds of the blowdown run. The accumulator pressure predicted by WCOBRA/TRAC is compared to measured test data (the only data available) in Figure 22-2-3. WCOBRA/TRAC predicts a [

22-3 Pump Component Model The pump component model is described in Volume 1, Section 94, of this document. It is an empirical model in which the pressure differential generated by the pump, and the corresponding torque applied to the pump during single- and two-phase flow, is derived from single- and two-phase flow data in scaled pumps. In particular, the pump head and torque during two-phase flow is assumed to vary as a function of void fraction from the single-phase value to a "fully degraded" or minimum value which occurs at intermediate void fractions. For the pump head: H = H, + M(i') * (H 2 - H,) (22-3-1) where: H = pump head H, = single-phase pump head H2 = fully degraded pump head M(a) = two-phase multiplier A similar equation is used for the pump torque (Equation 9-8 from Section 94) with the multiplier defined as N(a). This is clearly an approximate description of the actual variation of the pump head. As described in NUREGICR-5249 (Rohatgi, et al., 1989), the uncertainty associated with such a model is relatively large and needs to be considered in the code uncertainty. This section describes the basis for the empirical model used in the LOCA analysis of the PWR, establishes the basis for its uncertainty, and relates it to the pump model used in LOFT. Comparisons with LOFT data of the predicted pump head then serve as validation that the empirical model adequately predicts pump head for both LOFT and a PWR. 22-3-1 Westinghouse Pump Data The Westinghouse pump model is based on the air and water data obtained from a scale model of a 93A model pump, designed to operate at a pump head of 92.6 feet, a flow of 7420 gpm, and an impeller speed of 1799 rpm. Figure 22-3-1 shows a scale model used to obtain single- and two-o:4384-non\4384-22-3.wpd.lblO4043 22-37
phase data. The model is designed to be geometrically similar to a full-scale Westinghouse model 93A pump with an equivalent specific speed. The specific speed of a centrifugal pump is defined as: N = N Q"21113 4 (22-3-2) where: N is in rpm Q is in gpm H is in feet of water Specific speed is a convenient parameter in distinguishing the performance characteristics of different pumps. The specific speeds of Westinghouse pumps range from 5000 to 7000 rpm. In contrast, the specific speed of the LOFT pumps is 3300 rpm. 23-3-1-1 Single-Phase Data Figures 22-3-2 and 22-3-3 show some of the test data used to determine the single-phase homologous curves for forward and reverse flow through the pump. The data consist of water data from the scale model of the 93A pump, as well as air data from the same scale model and test facility where two-phase data were obtained (Howland and Lamers, 1973). The air and water data agree well, indicating that the change in test fluid and test facility had little effect on the test results. The uncertainty of the single-phase data was determined by evaluating two data sources. The first source was from the Westinghouse single-phase data cited above. A band can be drawn about the data in Figure 22-3-3 (the normalized head data are plotted against the inverse of the normalized flow in this figure). [
]ax The second source examined was from data developed by Cudlin (Cudlin, 1977). The normalized head in the forward flow, dissipative quadrant for a 1/3-scale model pump is shown in Figure 22-3-4. [ Iac o:\4384-non\4384-22-3.wpd:lb/04043 22-38
23-3-1-2 Two-Phase Data The two-phase data were obtained by running air-water mixtures through the pump (Howland and Muench, 1975). The test facility is illustrated in Figure 22-3-5. Water was drawn from a large basin using a diesel-powered pump, mixed with air in a mixing chamber, and pushed through the scale model pump. Inlet line venturi meters and orifices were used to measure inlet flowrates. Pump pressure differential, impeller speed, and impeller torque were also measured. The inlet void fraction was not measured but was inferred from the flowrates. A correlation was used to estimate the void fraction from the flowrates. In addition, a homogeneous void fraction was used. The basic nature of the data was not affected by the choice of void fraction. In the following discussion, the homogeneous (zero slip) void fraction is used. Typically, homologous head data are plotted using two x-axes: normalized flow divided by normalized speed (Figure 22-3-2), and normalized speed divided by normalized flow (Figure 22-3-3). An altemative way to plot the head data is as a function of normalized head divided by normalized speed squared, versus normalized flow divided by normalized speed, for all forward flow conditions. This results in the data in Figure 22-3-6, which more clearly shows the transition, as flow increases from a positive head or pumping mode, to a negative head or energy dissipation mode. As seen in Section 25-3 of WCAP-12945-P-A (Bajorek, et al., 1998), the intact loop pumps are operating in the pumping mode during the initial stages of a cold leg break LOCA, while the broken loop pump is operating in an energy dissipation mode during the entire transient. The two-phase data are also shown on this figure and indicate that the pumping mode data shows relatively little scatter, while the dissipation mode data show more scatter. The increased scatter may be due to the fact that when the downstream pressure is lower, the upstream conditions are no longer as accurate a representation of conditions within the pump. Also plotted on this figure are the single-phase head curve and a fully degraded head curve drawn through the lower bound data. The method for determining the two-phase multiplier M(a) and N(a) in Equations 9-7 and 9-8 (in Section 9 of this document) from the pump data is as follows:
- 1. Determine single-phase homologous head and torque. The pressure difference across the pump and the torque applied to the pump impeller are measured under a variety of flow conditions. Homologous head and torque curves are derived by dividing these data by the appropriate quantities (rated flow, rated speed, and the like). Each pump model (designated 93, 93A, 100, and so on) designed by o:\4384-non\4384-22-3.wpd:lbl04043 22-39
Westinghouse has a set of homologous curves derived from scale model single- I> phase tests using both air and water.
- 2. Measure the pump pressure difference and torque under two-phase conditions over a range of void fractions. The lower boundary of the data, when converted to homologous form, is defined as the "fully degraded" homologous head and torque.
These data were obtained from a 1/3-scale model pump with the same specific speed as the model 93A pump. The pump head data are shown in Figure 22-3-7, and the pump torque data in Figure 22-3-8. The single-phase and "fully degraded" curves constructed from these data are also shown in Figure 22-3-8 and Figures 9-4 to 9-7 in Volume 1, Section 9, of this document. The fully degraded curves are always drawn below the single-phase curves and bound nearly all the data. The two-phase data indicate that the amount of full degradation in head or torque is approximately a constant. That is, the fully degraded curve is offset from the single-phase curve by a constant. This is more easily seen in Figure 22-3-6. This observation allows the fully degraded curve to be extended into areas where data are sparse or lacking.
- 3. Assume that the homologous head and torque go from single-phase to fully degraded, back to single-phase values, as the pump inlet void fraction ranges from 0 to 1.0. Use Equation 22-3-1 in the following form to calculate M(a;) for each pump head data point:
H(a,) - H(single-phase) H(degraded) - H(single-phase) Use the M(a;) data to define the appropriate shape of the M(a) function, as in Figures 22-3-9 and 22-3-10. Figure 22-3-9 includes only the pumping mode data, while Figure 22-3-10 includes all the data. Perform a similar exercise for the pump torque (Figure 22-3-11). Data are lacking for void fractions greater than 70 percent. [
]ac This assumption is supported by test data from other design pumps, for example, Figure 2.1 on page L-9 of the code scaling, applicability, and uncertainty (CSAU) report (Boyack, et al., 1989).
o:\4384-non\438422-3.wpd:1b/04043 22-40
The simple form of the M(a) function results in considerable scatter in the data in the dissipative, or turbine mode of pump operation. The effect of this uncertainty was examined in the PWR scoping studies by defining a new multiplier drawn through the lower bound of the data. The multiplier resulted in a relatively small effect due to the relatively short time that the pump is in the fully degraded, low void fraction two-phase regime. This result is consistent with results obtained in the CSAU report. Most studies of pump model uncertainties focus only on the two-phase characteristics. The Westinghouse methodology examines and accounts for the uncertainty present in the single-phase head curves as well as discussed in Section 25-3-2 of WCAP-12945-P-A (Bajorek, et al., 1998).

]axc 22-3-2 Pump Model Comparison to Data The only test that contains a powered pump is the LOFT test. Although the pumps in LOFT are of a different design than PWR pumps, they exhibit similar overall performance as can be seen from Figure 22-3-12. The pump model used in the LOFT simulations, described in Section 14-1 of WCAP-12945-P-A (Bajorek, et al., 1998a), is the same as that used in the PWR, except that the homologous curves and the two-phase multiplier used were the LOFT specific curves obtained from tests on the Semiscale pump (Reeder, 1978). Another difference was that the pump speed was input from the LOFT data, rather than calculated. This was done to specifically examine the pump head prediction. The resulting prediction for LOFT test L2-5 is shown in Figure 14-1-38 (Bajorek, et al., 1998a). These comparisons show that the predicted pressure difference across the pumps in the intact loops compares well with the measured pressure difference during blowdown.
The comparisons indicate that the relatively simple pump model in WCOBRAiTRAC adequately predicts pump behavior during a LOCA. Because pump performance is not of high importance in a small break LOCA, and the pumps are tripped early in the event, uncertainty is not considered. o:\4384-non\4384-22-3.wpd:lb/04043 22-42

SECTION 23 CODE ASSESSMENT
SUMMARY
AND CONCLUSIONS 23-1 Introduction Sections 12 through 22 in this volume provide comparisons of WCOBRA/TRAC-SB predictions to experimental test results involving small break LOCA processes. This section summarizes the code performance in simulating the separate and integral effects tests necessary to demonstrate that WCOBRAIRAC-SB produces satisfactory results for small break LOCA processes. These simulations provide a consistent set of information that can be used to determine the bias and uncertainty for the WCOBRA1tRAC-SB computer code. These test simulations also provide a comprehensive validation of the code capability. A wide range of test facilities and conditions was selected for simulation, not only to establish code applicability, but also to provide a means of isolating and assessing individual model and correlation packages. Tests in the assessment matrix were selected to validate the ability of the code to model the important phenomena that occur during a small break LOCA in a PWR. At the beginning of the development effort, Westinghouse generated a small break LOCA PIRT (Section 1-4, Volume 1, of this document). To a great extent, the important processes identified by an independent expert panel were in agreement with the Westinghouse table. In fact, Westinghouse technical experts revised their original ranking process to coincide with the rankings assigned by the independent panel (Attachment A, Volume 1, of this document). This final PIRT will be used as a checklist to demonstrate that WCOBRAJTRAC-SB is capable of performing best-estimate small break LOCA analysis. 23-2 Separate Effects Test Simulations The separate effects tests simulated provide insight into the capability of WCOBRATRAC-SB to predict high-ranked PIRT phenomena as discussed below. Section 12 presents simulations of heat transfer experiments relevant to post-CHF core uncovery conditions using the WCOBRArFRAC-SB heat transfer package. During small break LOCA events, this process is ranked high in the PIRT. A comparison between measured and predicted heat transfer coefficients is available in the Reynolds number regime of interest from the ORNL o:"4384-nonN4384-23.wpd:b/414103 23-1
and INEL experiments. The minimum and maximum values of the multiplier to adjust the code-predicted coefficient to match the test value [
]ac Section 13 compares the WCOBRA,TRAC-SB break model predictions against data for a wide range of experimental critical flow geometries and conditions to validate the code for this highly ranked process. Uncertainty in the break flow model is accommodated in the uncertainty methodology by varying the break size to identify the limiting size in the plant break spectrum.
[
]axc Section 14 describes the implementation of the safety injection jet heat transfer correlation from the COSI experiment into WCOBRAJIRAC-SB. The agreement of the code prediction for this low-ranked process with COSI data is adequate.
In Section 15, the mixture level swell in the core (a high ranked PIRT item) is examined for the ORNL and G-1 facilities, with heater rod bundles, and the GE facility test vessel. The interfacial drag multiplier is adjusted to enable the predicted WCOBRA/TRAC-SB level swell to match the ORNL and G-1 experimental data, and the median YDRAG value to match the experimental data from both facilities is 0.78. This supports the use of YDRAG = 0.8 in the core in integral test simulations and the reference PWR studies. [
]axC For the loop seal clearing period of the small break LOCA transient, the PIRT identifies a number of high-ranked processes. The capability of WCOBRAJFRAC-SB to predict loop seal clearance phenomena is established by simulating the full-scale UPTF test facility in Section 16.
Overall, the code predicts the trends in behavior observed in the UPTF experiment. Section 17 considers a number of phenomena pertinent to upper plenum/hot leg/steam generator region hydraulics during a small break LOCA event. The CCFL prediction of WCOBRAfRAC-SB in the relevant flow situations matches the data well. The condensation o:\4384non\4384-23.wpd:lb/414/03 23-2
heat transfer modeling of the code has been examined by simulating the NC test series 60-kW core power test in the Semiscale Mod-2A facility. The agreement in these natural circulation two-phase flow and heat transfer predictions is judged to be adequate based on commentary from the experimenters. Chapter 18 validates the WCOBRAfTRAC-SB computer code for the prediction of horizontal stratified flow phenomena in the PWR loop piping; horizontal flow is a high-ranked process in the PIRT. WCOBRA/TRAC-SB was used to simulate a test facility that used a rectangular channel to measure condensation of steam in concurrent, horizontal flow. The channel is constructed of stainless steel with Pyrex glass windows. The 32 experiments simulated with WCOBRA/TRAC-SB included a range of steam and water flowrates and temperatures, and water layer thickness at the inlet. Inlet steam pressure was approximately 1 atmosphere. Steam velocity, static pressure, and water layer thickness as measured at five locations along the channel were compared with the WCOBRA/TRAC-SB predictions. The code was shown to predict pressure variation reasonably well and to underpredict condensation occurring at the interface. [
]a,c 23-3 Integral Test Facility Simulations Facilities of varying scales and characteristics were simulated using consistent nodalization to evaluate the capability of WCOBRAfRAC-SB to predict experimental small break LOCA transients. The small scale Semiscale Mod-2C facility provides single-effect sensitivity tests (S-LH-l and S-LH-2) which assess the impact of upper head flow bypass on the scaled equivalent of a 6-inch diameter cold leg break. The depressurization rate is predicted well for these tests. The break flow is underpredicted and then overpredicted at different times, and the S-LH-2 core heater rod temperature transient is influenced by compensating errors in the mass inventory and hot leg draining predictions. The predictions mirror the test results in identifying the significant impact of the upper head bypass flow on transient behavior.
The LOFT breaks simulated with WCOBRA/IRAC-SB range from a small break size (13-7, the scaled equivalent of a 1-inch break) to the 4-inch equivalent diameter break series of cases: 3-1 in the broken loop, and L3-5 in the intact loop cold leg. The L3-7 predictions are adequate, demonstrating the capabilities of the code for small break LOCA cases. The set of 4-inch equivalent break cases reinforces the importance of the high-ranked PIRT item regarding o:\4384-non\4384-23.wpd:lb/4/4103 23-3
conditions upstream of the break; the code performance is judged based on detailed evaluation to be adequate when the atypicalities of the LOFT facility are taken into account. The ROSA tests analyzed provide a set of 2.5-percent break size cases that examine the impact of break orientation (top, side, and bottom locations). WCOBRA/TRAC-SB predicts the general trends observed in the different results for the three orientations. The 5-percent ROSA test is the larger scale equivalent of the Semiscale cases in break size, and it illustrates the effect of scale on the adequacy of code predictions to be minor. The 10-percent break ROSA test provides an intermediate size small break LOCA to illustrate WCOBRA/TRAC-SB capabilities for the larger breaks in the small break LOCA spectrum. Among the 6-inch equivalent diameter break simulations, both of the Semiscale cases and the ROSA-IV SB-CL-05 break flowrate predictions exhibit flowrates less than the data values in the saturated liquid flow regime prior to loop seal clearance. This is followed by critical flowrate predictions that exceed the data once two-phase flow is established after loop seal clearance. The global model sensitivity cases performed as part of the PWR uncertainty methodology consider this variability by ranging the two-phase break flow discharge coefficient after loop seal clearance. 23-4 Nodalization Consistency The performance of the code in the ROSA, LOFT, and Semiscale simulations supports its use in PWR calculations in a best estimate methodology for small break LOCAs. The PWR nodalization scheme is consistent with the schemes used in the integral test facility simulations. The nodalizations used in the integral test facility simulations and the PWR calculation are reviewed by region or component. Hot Leg and Cold Leg

23-5 Conclusions Based on the separate effects test and integral test simulations, Westinghouse has made the following conclusions about the performance of WCOBRA/TRAC-SB for small break LOCA processes:
- 1. The model for critical break flow was validated in separate effects test simulations. It provides acceptable results for a wide range of break sizes, geometries, and inlet conditions. The code-predicted break flow shows reasonable agreement with the data in the integral effects tests over a range of scales.
- 2. The WCOBRA/TRAC-SB correlations for heat transfer in highly voided conditions show good agreement with ORNL and INEL data. The application of the WCOBRAJIRAC-SB heat transfer package to integral effects tests simulations was successful.
- 3. The models affecting mixture level swell provide agreement with a bias and a range of uncertainty for mixture level swell tests over a series of tests conducted under small break LOCA conditions. Interfacial drag in the core will be ranged according to these results in PWR global model sensitivity studies.
- 4. Mass retention in the loop seal during loop seal clearance is adequately predicted, and the loop seal clearing predictions of integral effects test simulations were found to agree well with the data.

- 5. The horizontal stratified flow model was incorporated [
]C The option to cause the code to identify the horizontal flow regimes was used in both separate and integral effects test simulations successfully.
- 6. The COSI model for condensation in the cold leg on the jet of safety injection water in WCOBRA/TRAC-SB shows suitable agreement with the test data.
- 7. Simulations of various facilities were performed to assess the WCOBRAIRAC-SB prediction of upper plenum/hot leg/steam generator hydraulic phenomena. The code performance is shown to be adequate for important small break LOCA processes.
- 8. The integral test facility simulations investigated and affirmed the capability of WCOBRAIrRAC-SB to predict experimental small break LOCA transients at different scales:
- The code exhibited the capability to predict the trends associated with the different upper head bypass configurations of Semiscale tests S-LH-1 and S-LH-2. Predicted results were consistent with the code biases observed in the separate effects tests.
- WCOBRAITRAC-SB predictions of the suite of LOFT small break LOCA tests exhibit agreement ranging from good to marginal with the data. Specific reasons for misprediction have been discussed.
- The ROSA series of 2.5-percent break test simulations shows the general ability of the code to distinguish between top, bottom, and side break locations. The code is also used to predict larger small break LOCA tests (5-percent and 10-percent breaks). As is true for the Semiscale predictions, the predicted core behavior during the loop seal clearance and boiloff periods is satisfactory.
