Abstract
The paper after a brief review of the literature about the available correlations for the definition of two-phase flow heat transfer, void fraction and pressure drop in connection with the operation of steam generators, focuses attention on a comparison of the results obtained using several different models resulting by different combination of correlations. The influence on the analysis of the performance of the evaporator, their impact on significant design variables and the effective lifetime of critical components in different operating conditions, simulating the daily start-up procedures of the steam generator is evaluated. The importance of a good calibration of the model based on the comparison with some experimental data is recognised.
