Pressure loss for flow of a steam-water mixture in a pebble bed is experimentally investigated (the first stage of the study was described in Avdeev, et al., 2003 [High Temp., 41, pp. 371–383]). The measurements of the care performed within the wide range of regime parameters: pressures of 0.9-15.6MPa, mass-flow rates of 107-770kg∕(m2s) and steam quality of 0–0.49. The experimental data for the pressure loss of single-phase air and water flows were used as reference data. The final results are represented in the form of the ratio of the pressure loss for the steam-water flow to that for the single-phase water flow at identical mass-flow rates.
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.
