- Summary
- The RVACS test 2F-L was analyzed to support the validation of COMMIX. This test is characterized by a power input of 50 kW, natural convection in the sodium pool, forced RVACS air circulation and a heat up period of 8 hours. At the beginning of the experiment the sodium pool was isothermal. After 7.5 hours the system reached near steady state with a temperature difference between the bottom and top of the pool of 96°C. The COMMIX predictions for the sodium pool temperatures and the air outlet temperatures were in good agreement with measurements. The maximum difference between predictions and measurements was ∼12°C. 4 refs., 5 figs.
