Measurement of a Liquid-Sodium Flow with a Local Velocity Probe

  • 1. Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Daejeon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

Local velocity measurements are still challenging in a liquid metal flow since the widely used methods such as LDV or PIV or Hot-wire are not applicable owing to an opaqueness and an endurance of high temperature. The local velocity probe (LVP) has been continuously developed to apply it to the measurement of a liquid sodium flow for the study of the reactor thermal phenomena. A LVP was newly designed and fabricated to investigate several problems for a local flow measurement. The preliminary performance test of the probe was conducted in a sodium circulation loop under a temperature around 160 .deg. C. The signal output was successfully obtained in the range of the mean velocity from 0 to 1.7m/s, despite the very weak electromotive force
