Title: Performance of containment sprays for light water reactors and evaluation of the heat transfer. [CONDENSE code]
Abstract: Capacity curves, spray distributions, and droplet size distributions of light water reactor (pressurized water reactor (PWR) and boiling water reactor (BWR)) containment spray nozzles are obtained, and the heat removal effectiveness is evaluated by a computer program CONDENSE. It is revealed by the calculations that spray droplets from a PWR spray nozzle always attain the containment atmosphere temperature and spray droplets from a BWR spray nozzle attain the containment atmosphere temperature above approximately 70/degree/C. 16 refs.
