Numerical and experimental study of hydraulic dashpot used in the shut-off rod drive mechanism of a nuclear reactor

•Hydraulic dashpot performance is studied numerically as well as experimentally.•Instantaneous pressure built-up in the dashpot is mainly contributing for damping of freely falling shut-off rod at the end of its travel.•At elevated temperature, dashpot pressure does not reduce in proportion to the r...
