Thermal-hydraulic instability can potentially impair thermal
reliability of reactor cores or other power equipment components.
Thus it is important to address stability issues in power equipment
associated with thermal and nuclear installations, particularly in
thermal nuclear power plants, chemical and petroleum industries,
space technology, and radio, electronic, and computer cooling
systems. Coolant Flow Instabilities in Power Equipment synthesizes
results from instability investigations around the world,
presenting an analysis and generalization of the published
technical literature. The authors include individual examples on
flow stability in various types of equipment, including boilers,
reactors, steam generators, condensers, heat exchangers, turbines,
pumps, deaerators, bubblers, and pipelines. They also present
information that has not been widely available until recently, such
as thermal-acoustic instability, flow instability with
supercritical parameters, and single-phase coolant flow static
instability. The material described in this book is derived from
vast amounts of experimental data from thermal-physical test
facilities and full-scale installations. It is presented in a
manner accessible to readers without advanced mathematical
backgrounds. Particular attention has been paid to oscillatory
(low-frequency and thermal-acoustic) and static thermal-hydraulic
coolant flow instability. In addition, the physical mechanism of
instability has been considered in detail. This book provides
knowledge of the various types of flow instability, the equipment
where this instability can manifest, and the ensuing consequences,
as well as makes recommendations concerning possible removal or
mitigation of these consequences. The authors provide this
information as a useful reference for readers to facilitate the
enhanced safety of modern power equipment through qualitative
evaluation of design and flow parameters and subsequent selection
of the optimal means for increasing flow stability.
