Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system and method for predicting acoustic loads expected on a boiling water reactor (BWR) may include a BWR scale model, a test fixture for generating air flow in the scale model, and one or measurement devices for monitoring system behavior to predict how acoustic loads may affect plant operation for the BWR being evaluated.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A system for monitoring the effect of acoustic loads expected on boiling water reactor (BWR) steam dryers comprising: a BWR scale model, the BWR scale model including a scale model of a reactor pressure vessel and a system dryer; a test fixture located upstream of the BWR scale model, the test fixture configured to generate and supply air flow, and associated acoustic loads, into the BWR scale model; at least one measurement device attached to the BWR scale…
