Simple Simulation Using Coupling between Flownex and LabVIEW Simultaneously in Case of Indonesian Experimental Power Reactor

Abstract

Experimental power reactor known as Reaktor daya eksperimental (RDE) is a National Nuclear Energy Agency of Indonesia (BATAN)-designed nuclear power reactor that will be built with 10 megawatts of power. RDE will serve as a pilot for next power reactors that will be built in Indonesia. In its design, RDE can be scale-up for larger power sizes. RDE development make detail design need to do some experiments for various facilities that will be built. One method can be done by simulating the RDE design. This study simulated the components using Flownex software and used LabVIEW as a software to display simulation results. The use of these two different software can optimize the simulation results.
