In this paper focus is on Phase III simulated pipe stratification persistence resulting from a thermal transient passing through a horizontal pipe of the reactor system. Results presented here involve only the upstream leg of the two-pipe, horizontal elbow system used in the Phase III studies. Note that the orientation of the elbow at the end of a horizontal pipe (up, down, or in the horizontal plane) has an influence on the pipe stratification persistence time, t/sub p/. This matter is currently under investigation. For the purposes of this paper, only the horizontally disposed elbow data have been considered.
