Prediction of Two-Phase Critical Flow Rate

One of 93 reports in the series: AEC Research and Development Report available on this site.

PDF Version Also Available for Download.

Description

Technical report of a proposal of an analytical model to predict two-phase critical flow rate. The model is based upon thermal equilibrium, a "lumped" treatment of the two-phase velocity (each phase is represented by a single mean velocity), and upon the neglect of frictional and hydrostatic pressure losses. A comparison, of the proposed predictions with available test results and previous analyses shows that: (1) The present model agrees very well with the published test data. (2) In contrast to all other analyses, the model requires no assumption about the gas void fraction.
