1.0 Purpose

The purpose of this calculation is to determine the effect of the dissolved gas in the water on final tank pressure after the MUT is drawndown during a LOCA. This effect will be the increase in pressure resulting from the evolving of the dissolved l gas from the water space to the gas space within the MUT. This re-evolution of the gas takes place because the partial pressure of the hydrogen in the gas space is decreased as water is removed from the MUT during this event.

2.0 Design inputs:

The MUT volume is taken from Ref. 4.1.

The starting pressure / temperature for the MUT contents is obtained from Ref. 4.3 and pressure gage instrument error is obtained from Ref. 4.7 The value for Henry's constant was obtained from reference Ref. 4.2

3.0 Assumptions

l 3.1 The contents of the tank remain at a constant temperature during the entire 3 drawdown. This assumption is based on the amount of heat that would be transfer i during the event as being very small compared to the total heat contained by the r tank contents. As the level in the MUT drops to the lower region of the MUT below zero level indication, the contents of the tank will start to lose a larger percentage of u its heat but this value will still be very small compared to the total heat still contained within the MUT. '

. 3.2 The state point properties of the gas within the MUT can be determined by use e of the perfect gas law. The pressures and temperature of the gas during this event-

- are within the boundaries for application of this law. 1 4

. .y .

n 3.3 Transient is sufficiently slow that the dissolved gas in the water in the MUT can "re-evolve into the gas space. Henry's law is valid for static conditions. This transient is considered to proceed at a rate which will allow the hydrogen in the water and the gas to achieve equilibrium with each other because of the decrease in hydrogen partial pressure of the during the drawdown.

3.4 The overgas in the MUT will be considered all hydrogen. Plant records show that the gas space in the MUT will have hydrogen and nitrogen in the gas space.

However, hydrogen has greater solubility in water than nitrogen and therefore will have a greater effect on the resulting pressure increase after drawdown, i.e., more gas is available to re-evolve.

5.0 Calculations

Start with the tank level at 52.3" and the overgas pressure at 13.2 psig (Ref. 4.3, page 33 &

34 and Ref. 4.7). l The MUT tank contents are at 135 *F and remain in that condition through-out the transient, i.e., isothermal expansion (see assumption 3.1). The pipe from the tank to the MU pump suction header. is 4" and has approximately 85 feet of horizontal run. There is approximately 16 feet of vertical run. There is 14.5 feet of vertical run from the tank to the horizontal section (see Ref. 4.4).

The following are the volumes of the MUT (see Ref. 4.1):

TOP & BOTTOM HEADS, TEACH 48.234 ft' VOLUME OF SHELL 507.202 ft' TOTAL TANK VOLUME 603.669 ft The vertical 14.5 feet of 4" schedule 40 pipe has a volume of 0.088 X 14.5=1.276 ft' The horizontal 85 feet of 4" schedule 40 pipe has a volume of 0.088 X 85=7.48 ft The remaining 1.5 feet of 4" schedule 40 pipe has a volume of 0.088 X 1.5=0.132 ft (Pipe volume obtained from Ref. 4.5)

Total volume of the pipe is 8.888 ft' Because assumption 3.1 maintains the MUT temperature constant, the partial pressure of ,

the water vapor remains constant at 2.5375 psia (Ref. 4.6) during the transient. Hydrogen, H2, will be used as the cover gas ( see assumption 3.4) yielding a conservative estimate of off gassing as the total pressure decays due to drawdown.

2 see Ref. 4.2, page 1-54) for the temperature of interest. The reference has no corrections for the influence of '

pressure on this value. For this calculation, an assumption is that the influence of the gas's partial pressure on it's solubility is negligible over the range of interest and that the B&W constant will remain constant over this range.

The total pressure is 13.2 psig. Using an atmospheric pressure of 14.7 psia, the absolute l total pressure at the start of drawdown is pr = 13.2 + 14.7 = 27.9 psia Of the total pressure in the tank, the vapor pressure will remain constant at 2.5375 psia.

Therefore, at the start of the drawdown, the partial pressure of the H2 is ps = 27.9 -2.5375 = 25.3625 psia The mass of H2in the gas space at a level of 52.3" can be determined by the perfect gas law ms = pn(144)V,/(2T)

The amount of water in Kg in this water volume is M = V, p,/2.205 Where: p, = 61.46282 lbm/ft , water density at 135 F, (Ref. 4.6)

Since the total H2 contained in the MUT water at the start of drawdown can not physically be re-evolved, a better estimate of the amount of gas re-evolved is determined by the following H2 mass balance on the tank: _

m srs = ms ,, + rns , + m ai, _

C = 0.0042687/2 The ms, term can be determined from:

msw = C ps, ( V., - V.,)

where the terms are as given before and V ,is the volume of water left when drawdown is completed.

Substituting these terms into the mass balance equation yields the following:

2.709001 = ps,144 Vooo /2 T + C ps, V , + C ps, ( V. - V ,)

Collectinhierms and solving for the partial pressure of H2after water has been removed from the tank yields the following:

Substituting for Vooo 612.557 ft and for V 278.971 ft' yields:
