Flow patterns in high pressure two-phase flow: a visual study of water in a uniformly heated 4-rod bundle (LWBR Development Program)
Description
Flow patterns that occur in a rod bundle with forced upward flow of boiling water have been photographed. The experimental rod bundle consisted of four vertical 0.25-inch diameter by 24.0 inch long rods arranged in a single row. The tested conditions were: pressure--400 to 2000 psia, mass velocity--250,000 to 4,000,000 lb/hr-ft2, and heat flux (uniform)--up to 1,600,000 Btu/hr-ft2. The observed two-phase flow patterns were bubble flow, froth flow, slug flow, and annular flow. The flow patterns were mapped at constant pressure on plots of mass velocity versus flowing quality
