Comparisons of the predictions of RELAP5/MODI to data obtained from a 19-tube model of a once-through steam generator (OTSG) were performed. The initial results were not satisfactory since the predicted outlet steam temperature was much too low. This discrepancy was traced to the inappropriate use of the modified Zuber critical heat flux (CHF) correlation for the conditions occurring during integral economizer OTSG operation. A study of available low-flow CHF correlations was performed that showed that either the Macbeth or Biasi correlations used in conjunction with RELAP5/MOD1 would produce good agreement with both the steady state and transient data for the integral economizertype OTSG. The Macbeth correlation was the best for the OTSG with a recirculation path; however, it was not entirely satisfactory due to a slight delay in its prediction of CHF A loss-of-feedwater transient was modeled using the Macbeth CHF correlation and compared to experimental data with satisfactory results.
