PRESSURE DROP, FLOW DISTRIBUTION AND MIXING STUDIES FOR A MODEL HETEROGENEOUS REACTOR VESSEL

Technical Report Berringer, R. T. ; Bishop, A. A.

A series of hydrodynamic tests was conducted on a 1: 12 scale mcdel of the Yankee reactor vessel and core with four, three, and two loop operation. There was no depression of flow in the center of the core due tc the control rod shrouds or shroud support plate. With four loops operating, flow distribution tests at the core inlet indicated that for all operating conditions the highest velocities occurred in the center region of the core and were a maximum of 18% higher than the average velocities. The lowest velocities were in the region near the core baffle andmore »« less

CRBRP-IHX: 30/sup 0/ model flow distribution, pressure drop and tube vibration test report

Technical Report Jaisingh, G

The objective of this test program was to study the flow of shell side sodium and tube vibration caused by it. This was achieved by simulating sodium flow by water at 170/sup 0/F. (Additional tests were performed with 100/sup 0/F water at lower flow rates.)
