摘要：

Leak rate calculation is very important for Leak Before Break (LBB) analysis. Helium is used as coolant in high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR). Therefore the flows in the cracks of HTGR vessels and pipes are single phase, which are different from the two phase critical flows in the cracks of water reactors. In the present paper, simple leak rate calculation formulae for compressible laminar and turbulent flows in HTGR cracks are introduced. The velocity and pressure distributions in cracks as well as the leak rates are calculated using the formulae. Numerical simulations are also conducted for compressible laminar, turbulent and critical flows with different crack widths and depths. The results of the numerical simulation and theoretical formulae are compared with experimental data. The comparison shows that both the simple theoretical formulae and the numerical simulation can achieve good results. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
