Steam-water separation in a swirl-vane centrifugal separator. Volume 2. Final report. [PWR]
- ed.
A combination analytical and experimental study has been conducted to examine and model the behavior of swirl-vane moisture separators used in the moisture separation of the steam-water mixture produced in steam generators. The objectives of the project were to produce experimental data quantifying gravitational and centrifugal separation in steam generators and to develop analytical models to simulate these modes of separation. High-pressure steam/water separator data for swirl-vane separators of 15, 20, and 51 centimeters (6, 8, and 20 inches) diameters have been reduced and correlated. An analytical model has been developed for gravitational separation and a 1-D radial two-fluid model was developed to analyze separation in a swirl-vane assembly.
