Overview of Steam Generator Tube-Inspection Technology
Degradation of steam generator (SG) tubing due to both mechanical and corrosion modes has resulted in extensive repairs and replacement of SGs around the world. The variety of degradation modes challenges the integrity of SG tubing and, therefore, the stations’ reliability. Inspection and monitoring aimed at timely detection and characterization of the degradation is a key element for ensuring ...
متن کاملA MEMS Steam Generator
Previous work [1] has shown that MEMS technology has significant potential to create more compact, higherperforming hardware for chemical oxygen iodine lasers (COIL). In COILs, the laser medium is a flowing gas that must be pumped through the system at high mass flow rates to ensure proper system operation. As a result, compact pumps with high pumping rates are a key element of the COIL system....
متن کاملDevelopment of a Robust Model-Based Water Level Controller for U-Tube Steam Generator
Government or any agency thereof. The views and opinions of authors expressed herein do not necessarily state or reflect those of the United States Government or any agency thereof. SUMMARY Poor control of steam generator water level of a nuclear power plant may lead to frequent nuclear reactor shutdowns. These shutdowns are more common at low power where the plant exhibits strong non-minimum p...
متن کاملAutomated Analysis of Eddy Current Signals in Steam Generator Tube Inspection
Accurate and consistent determination of flawed regions in steam generator tubing is becoming increasingly important as nuclear power plants age and repair costs increase. The general problem of assessing the structural integrity of steam generator tubing using eddy current inspection is rather complex due to the presence of noise and interference signals under different inspection conditions. ...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Heat Transfer in a Vertical Inverted U–Tube Steam Generator
In this paper, a numerical scheme has been developed for primary and secondary fluids adopting Euler–Cauchy method to find the temperature distribution of the primary fluid relative to the secondary fluid and vice–versa and to obtain an optimum boiling length of the tube in the vertical inverted U–tube steam generator (UTSG).
