Abstract
A model-based display is identified, discussed, and illustrated. The model used in the display is based upon the Rankine Cycle, a heat engine cycle. Plant process data from the loss of main and auxiliary feedwater event at the Davis-Besse Plant on June 9, 1985 is used to illustrate the display. The model used in the display fuses individual process variables into process functions. It also serves as a medium to communicate status of the process to human users. The human user may evaluate the goals of operation from the displayed process functions. Because of these display features, the user’s cognitive workload is minimized. The opinions expressed herein are the author’s personal ones and do not necessarily reflect criteria, requirements, and guidelines of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
