MINET: Transient analysis of fluid-flow and heat-transfer networks
Abstract
The MINET is a computer code which was developed for the steady state and transient analysis of fluid flow and heat transfer networks. The code is based on a momentum integral network method, which offers computational advantages in large systems analysis. An application in which MINET is coupled to the super system code (SSC), an advanced generic code for the transient analysis of loop or pool type IMFBR systems is discussed. The ability of the Clinch River Breeder Reactor Plant to operate in a natural circulation mode following an assumed loss of all electric power, is assessed. The MINET portion of the calculations are compared with those generated independently by the Clinch River Project, using the DEMC code.
