Abstract: The effect of heated length on critical heat flux (CHF) in thin rectangular channels under atmospheric pressure has been studied. CHF in small channels has been widely studied in the last ...

Abstract: Flow regime maps were obtained for adiabatic air-water two-phase flow through a flow channel with 8 × 8 rod bundle, which simulated a typical rod bundle in a boiling water reactor. ...

Abstract: A dynamic treatment of interfacial area concentration has been studied over the last decade by employing the interfacial area transport equation. When coupled with the two-fluid model, the ...

Abstract: This study has investigated the axial development of flow regime of adiabatic upward air-water two-phase flow in a vertical annulus. The inner and outer diameters of the annulus are 19.1 mm ...

Abstract: This work describes the application of an artificial neural network to process the signals measured by local conductivity probes and classify them into their corresponding global flow regimes. ...
