Accuracy of the Firebird-III Computer Code Pump Model

The PUMPANC subroutine in the FIREBIRD-III thermal hydraulic computer code models pump behaviour. The accuracy of this model is examined on the basis of available pump tests. Single phase test results on the Gentilly-2 primary heat transport pumps are compared to FIREBIRD-III predictions. As well, various two-phase pump tests are examined for the applicability of scaling small pump results to large pump results. Further areas of investigation are outlined.
