Abstract

Abstract

In order to improve the capability of thermal-hydraulic codes to predict the heat transfer coefficient（HTC）, an analytical model is developed based on the conservation equations. The calculated values of this model and of Relap5 were compared with the Kuhn’s experimental data. It is found that the model gives better prediction of HTC than Relap5, and it agrees well with the experimental data.
