Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

A description is given of the research on a device to control the exit steam quality in the individual fuel element assemblies of boiling water reactors. A proof-of-principle device has been constructed and successfully operated using an air-water mock-up of a boiling water reactor flow channel. The basic theoretical and experimental work in two-phase fluid flow in support of the design was also conducted. (auth)
