For helical coiled tube steam generator for liquid metal reactor, the working medium at the first side is liquid metal and that at the second side is water, and its thermal and hydraulic characteristics are significantly different from those of conventional pressurized water reactor natural circulation saturated steam generators. The helical coiled tube steam generator of liquid metal reactor is equivalent as flow network system and divided into flow circuits, pressure nodes, and other components. The mathematical model for calculating thermal hydraulic parameters such as pressure drop, flow rate and temperature, and mathematical model for calculating the metal wall temperature of tube bundles are established, based on the mass, momentum and energy conservations. Moreover, the profile of flow rate, pressure drop, working medium temperature, outlet steam temperature, wall temperature, vapor quality and heat transfer coefficient in helical coiled tubes are obtained through the direct solving of nonlinear equations composed of unknown flow rate and pressure nodes in the flow circuit. The flow and heat transfer characteristics of the helical coiled tubes in steam generator are obtained. Besides, one-dimensional system analysis and calculation programs are proposed other than RELAP5 and the thermal hydraulic calculation method of helical coiled tube steam generator has been improved.
