Helical Coil Thermal Hydraulic Model
Helical coil pipes have been widely used in the past in many industrial applications such as thermal process plants or power plants for the steam generation. In nuclear industry, helical coil steam generators (SG) and intermediate heat exchangers (IHX) have been installed in the fast reactors like Monju (Japan) [1] and Super-Phénix (France). These components are still considered for the future reactors projects such as the small modular reactors (SMR), like IRIS [2], and the
