Pipes in power plants have to withstand loads that are due to, for instance, internal pressure, external moments, if any, and thermal stresses resulting from the overall and local distribution of temperature or even from the change in temperature with time. The rate at which temperature changes governs the division into steady states, quasi-steady ...
The report presents experiments which were aimed at studying steam condensation in horizontal respectively slightly inclined pipes at high driving temperature differences of up to 200 K. Further specifics are the detailed investigation of the transient behaviour of a non-condensable gas using a novel measuring technique as well as the evaluation of...
The cooperative project had the object to find trade strategies, which the competitive ability of the district heating receives in the liberalized current market. It could be proven that apart form the risks that are caused by the decay of the electricity prices, also chances are existing caused by deregulation of the markets. The measures of net-o...
The project aimed at the quantification of distributions of coolant parameters at the core entrance during transient processes in which coolant streams of different temperatures and/or boron concentrations arrive at the reactor inlet nozzles. The safety relevance is given by the consequences of boron dilution and cold water transients. With the hel...
