- Abstract
This paper discusses the parameters of a steam generator for a power plant can be deduced on the basis of the mathematical Analysis. According to this analysis, the flow parameters emerge in time such that it provides progressively greater access to its currents. The circulation of water is driven by buoyancy in downcomer and many parallel smaller riser tubes. The total flow volume is fixed. Two flow models are analysed i.e. single phase flow in the downcomer and riser, and liquid-vapor mixture flow in the riser tubes. Parameters that result from mathematical analysis are Circulation Ratio, Tube diameters, Number of riser tubes, Water circulation rate, Rate of steam generation, and how the flow parameters change when the operating Pressure, Temperature and the size of the flow system change.
