Definition of parameters for a test section for the analysis of natural convection and coolant loss in the AP1000 nuclear reactor by similarity laws and fractional scaling analysis

The present work develops and analysis the main parameters of a test section for natural convection in case of failure of the pumping system as much as the loss of coolant in refrigeration accidents. For this realization a combination of laws of basic similarity and an innovative scale methodology,...
