Uniform versus Nonuniform Axial Power Distribution in Rod Bundle CHF Experiments

Figure 6

In uniform APD CHF experiment, the last two grid alignments can be various in many ways (only two examples are illustrated here (see Figure 6(a)) in order to simulate the occurring of CHF events in a nonuniform APD system (see Figure 6(b))).

(a) Two examples of potential uniform bundle

(b) Two potential CHF events in a nonalignments uniform APD bundle
