Theory of thermal hydraulic quenchback (THQB).

Author(s) : SHAJII A., FREIDBERG J. P.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The THQB occurs after the initiation of a "standard" quench wherein the normal zone expands because of heat convection by the coolant. The underlying physics of THQB is discussed and an analytic solution for the quench propagation velocity is presented. The THQB propagation velocity is observed to be as much as an order of magnitude greater than the helium coolant velocity. This is in direct contrast to a standard quench where the two velocities are always essentially equal.
