Description
Full text: The paper describes an experimental rig for the simulation study of prototype PHWR header-feeder configuration. The rig consists of test chamber with scale down header-feeder configuration in the form of replaceable test piece. The test piece consists of semi-circular header of 54.24 mm diameter and five branches of 8.20 mm diameter and is placed into horizontal pipe of 600 mm NB and 12 m long under stratified flow condition. The proposed rig can carry out test for various interface level of liquid for test chamber pressure of 5.0 bar at test piece. Test chamber to separators lines are of equal hydraulic resistance. The mass flow measurement of air and water can be with over lapping range of air flow meter bank and water flow meter bank
