Abstract

The transient thermal-hydraulic problem of MNSR is represented by ten differential equations solved numerically using Runge–Kutta method.Computational results are then compared with experimental measurements. Fuel grids and cooling coil models are incorporated in the model too. Radiating energy from the clad is taken into account in the energy balance in the reactor. The pool is divided into three sections in the model. The effect of the cooling coil of the pool upper section on reactor thermal-hydraulic parameters is discussed. The only input parameter of the reactor is the power temporal distribution. Good agreement between calculated and measured data was obtained.
