Abstract
This paper presents an analytical model developed for investigating the stability characteristics of a low-pressure natural circulation test facility. The approach is to convert the two-phase flow system into a linear feedback system with respect to a steady-state operating point and linear theory is then applied to determine if the system would be stable around the operating point. The analysis results show that the stability of the system is sensitive to its inlet temperature and power level.
