STUDIES OF SMALL PARTICLE SUSPENSIONS FOR L.M.F.R. PART VI. CONCENTRATION PROFILES ACROSS A BEND AND A VERTICAL PIPE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4224222
;
Concentration profiles were measured for a tungsten suspension flowing through a smooth elbow and a vertical pipe. It is shown that uniform suspension at a smooth elbow is not achieved for velocities up to 13.8 ft/sec. Approximately four feet of vertical pipe is required after the smooth elbow to destroy the gradients set up in a horizontal pipe for velocities of approxi- mately 3 and 13.5 per second. No evidence for coring'' was found. (auth)
