Analysis of the steam generator for the safe integral reactor concept: I. Steady state

A steady state model for the Safe Integral Reactor (SIR) once- through steam generator is developed. The aim is to predict the thermal performance. The model takes into account the special features and conditions of the steam generator. The appropriate heat transfer correlations are utilized in each heat transfer regime especially in the post dryout region where thermodynamic nonequilibrium is expected. Finally, results are compared to other work done independently.
