Journal ArticleDOI
On the development of a grid-enhanced single-phase convective heat transfer correlation
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parametric investigation of film boiling heat transfer on the quenching of vertical rods in water pool
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of pipe size on horizontal two-phase flow: Flow regimes, pressure drop, two-phase flow parameters, and drift-flux analysis
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental investigation and theoretical modeling of liquid entrainment in a horizontal tee with a vertical-up branch
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
