TL;DR: In this article, a new single-phase convective heat transfer augmentation correlation has been developed using single phase steam cooling experimental data obtained from the Penn State/NRC Rod Bundle Heat Transfer (RBHT) facility.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of liquid subcooling, material properties and surface conditions on the film pool boiling heat transfer using stainless steel (SS), zirconium (Zr), and Inconel-600 rods were explored.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of pipe size on horizontal air-water two-phase flow in a wide range of flow configurations were investigated. But the results were not reflected on the flow regime maps employed in the nuclear reactor system analysis codes.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive literature review of liquid entrainment in horizontal pipes with vertical-up branches is presented, and a model for predicting the onset and steady-state entraining rate is developed to predict branch quality at high liquid flow rates.

TL;DR: In this paper, an adiabatic upward air-water flow experiment was performed on a vertical pipe with 25.4mm inner diameter to investigate the interface structure and characteristics, including time-averaged void fraction, interfacial area concentration, bubble interfacial velocity and Sauter mean diameter.
