SATURATED-SUBCOOLED STRATIFIED FLOW IN HORIZONTAL PIPES

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1010679
Advanced light water reactor systems are designed to use passive emergency core cooling systems with horizontal pipes that provide highly subcooled water from water storage tanks or passive heat exchangers to the reactor vessel core under accident conditions. Because passive systems are driven by density gradients, the horizontal pipes often do not flow full and thus have a free surface that is exposed to saturated steam and stratified flow is present.
