- Summary
- Results of the PWR thermal cycling tests pertinent to transient heat flow through various sections of the test vessel and final test head are presented. The final test head is identical in over-all dimensions and penetration pattern to the actual PWR vessel head which is not operational at Shippingports Pennsylvania. The ramifications and limitations resulting from the assumed boundary conditions and material thermophysical properties in the solution of the transient conduction heat flow problem are discussed. A comparison is made of transient temperature profiles and thermal gradients for various sections of the vessel and head obtained experimentally with those obtained analytically. The experimental and analytical results are found to be in agreement. ( auth)
