Abstract

Abstract

An analysis code was developed to calculate the natural circulation capacity of China Advanced Research Reactor（CARR） under the conditions of different pool water temperatures.The influence of the pool water temperature on natural circulation characteristics was analyzed,and it was showed that the natural circulation flow rate increased however,the natural circulation capacity decreased with the increasing pool water temperature.Based on the computational result and the theoretical deduction,a correlation was proposed to predicting the relationship between the natural circulation mass flow and the core power under different conditions.The correlation prediction agreed well with the computational result,and the maximal error was less than ±10%.
