Argonne National Laboratory is studying pipe-flow/plenum thermal-plume interactions induced by a pipe-to-plenum temperature difference. Under these conditions a pipe-flow-generated thermal plume is produced in the plenum and a stratified recirculation zone is produced in the pipe resulting in cold fluid being drawn out of the plenum into the bottom of the horizontal pipe conveying hot fluid into the plenum. These phenomena produce plenum wall and pipe nozzle thermal distributions conductive to detrimental structural thermal stresses. In order to study these phenomena studies are being conducted in the ANL Buoyancy Effects Tank (BET), a 3.41-m/sup 3/ plenum containing cold water which is interfaced with a horizontal transparent pipe conveying hot water into the plenum.
