| dc.description.abstract | The thermal-hydraulic (T-H) models and solution schemes employed by the MEKIN computer code have been examined. The effects of T-H input parameters on- predicted fuel temperatures and coolant densities were determined in transient analyses. Consideration was limited primarily to a simulated PWR control rod ejection transient. Limitations to the use of MEKIN that arise because of simplifying assumptions in the T-H models are discussed. Computation time may be reduced without altering the results of a transient analysis if appropriate MEKIN options are selected. Guidelines are presented to facilitate the selection of these options. Suggestions for improvement of the code are also ma:de. | en_US |
