Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

A critical analysis of experimental work on the relative velocities of the mixture components reported in tho German and foreign literature showed that the few results Could be used in calculation on boiling water reactors onlywith great reservations. The measurement devices for a water-steam mixture vary according to the geometry, of the reactor. Investigations on unheated water are not applicable to reactor fuel elements. Research done in America on boiling water reactors can be applied to fuel elements, but the data are unavailable or only- incompletelypublihed. Therefore a comparison of German and American research is not possible. (tr-auth)
