EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS IN TWO-PHASE NATURAL CIRCULATION LOOPS RELEVANT TO THE AHWR/Part-1: Steady State Behaviour of two-phase natural circulation

摘要

Two phase natural circulation experiments have been performed in various uniform diameter loops of 7 mm, 9.1 mm, 15.75 mm and 20 mm inside diameter. Experimental data have been generated for both steady state and stability performance. In this report steady state behaviour of the various loops are described in detail. Also the experimental results have been compared with the in-house developed code such as TINFLO-A. The present report describes the details of the experimental loops, measurement techniques adopted, steady state data obtained
