Steam Hammer in a Main Nuclear Steam System
H2 Strapline here maybe
Background
In this supercritical nuclear power station in China, steam at 6.43 MPa and 280.14oC, is used to generate the power. It is heated in 3 x 1936.08 tons/hr boilers and flows through pipes of 758 x 28 mm and 616 x 22 mm inner diameter.
PIPENET was used to estimate the dynamic forces caused by the fast closure of the main steam valves as well as the redistribution of steam after turbine trip.
