| Abstract | Abstract Accurate prediction of the mass flux and quality through small breaks in a horizontal coolant pipe, where stratified flow exists, is of great importance in nuclear reactor safety research. Experiments were performed with air-water flows through breaks simulated by pipe stubs of various diameters located at the bottom, the top or in the side of a horizontal pipe. The flow phenomena observed are illustrated with photographs. Correlations are given for the beginning of entrainment. Measurements were made of the entrainment beginning of the break quality and mass flux for different values of the interface level, and of the pressure difference between main pipe and break outlet. A model was developed to predict the branch quality and mass flux. This model can also be applied to steam-water critical branch mass flux, as is shown in an example. |
