  Correlations for some Thermal Hydraulic Parameters for a Pressurized Water Reactor

  By Beinmotei Kenoll Orumo, Abarasi Hart, Ayoade Kuye

  Abstract: Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) constitutes majority of nuclear power plants used worldwide because of its stability which enhances operability. However, the design and safe operation of the PWR is dependent on certain thermal hydraulic parameters such as friction factor and heat transfer. In this study, therefore the correlations for the calculation of the two important thermal hydraulic parameters are presented. Correlations used include: Dittus-Boelter and Chilton-Colburn for heat transfer, Blasius …
