A technique is described which enables the detection of the phase (liquid or vapor) in steam-water two-phase flow and the temperature measurement of each phase, using the hot junction of a microthermocouple. The signals are processed with a multichannel analyzer in order to obtain the amplitude histograms of the temperature. Significant results are obtained in pool boiling, forced convection subcooled boiling, and flashing flow of water.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
