Objective was to obtain sufficient steady-state and transient two-phase empirical data to substantiate and improve the reactor coolant pump analytical model currently used for LOCA analysis. A one-fifth scale pump, which geometrically models a reactor coolant pump, was tested in steady-state runs with single- and two-phase mixtures of water and steam over ranges of operating conditions representative of postulated loss-of-coolant accidents. Transient tests were also run . This volume describes the data processing methods used to convert the raw test data to engineering units and plots for both the steady-state and transient tests conducted during the CE/EPRI pump project.
