Experimental observations on the general trends of the steady state and stability behaviour of single-phase natural circulation loops
TL;DR: In this article, the steady state flow in uniform or non-uniform diameter single-phase natural circulation loops (NCLs) can be expressed as Ress = C[Grm/NG]r where the constants C and r depend on the nature of the flow (i.e. laminar or turbulent).
