The Prediction of Pressure Drop and CCFL Breakdown in Countercurrent Two-Phase Flow
Keyword(s):
A steady-state analytical model has been developed to predict channel pressure drop as a function of inlet vapor flow rate and applied heat flux during conditions of countercurrent two-phase flow. The interfacial constitutive relations utilized are flow structure dependent and allow for the existence of either smooth or wavy liquid films. A computer code was developed to solve the analytical model. Predictions of Δp versus vapor flow rate were found to agree favorably with experimental data from adiabatic, air/water systems. In addition, the model was used to predict countercurrent flow conditions in heated channels characteristic of a BWR/4 nuclear reactor fuel assembly.
