Numerical investigation of the thermal-hydraulic characteristics of AP1000 steam generator U-tubes

Steam generators (SGs) are vital heat exchangers that connect the primary and secondary sides in power plant systems. Based on the AP1000 SG, a numerical model of SG U-tubes is developed. The interior flow and heat transfer behaviors of the SG are simulated using CFX thermal phase change model. The...
