“…The flow and mass transfer calculation for a single elbow was also included as a reference case. The commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, ANSYS FLUENT ® , was used to simulate the flow and mass transfer for all the piping configurations and the results were compared with the experimental results in [3] and [6][7][8][9][10].…”

“…Several techniques have been described in the open literature [9] to measure the mass transfer in a flowing system. The dissolution of gypsum (also called "plaster of Paris") method was used in experimental work [3,[6][7][8][9][10] to measure the mass flux of gypsum into water (summarized below).…”

“…The dissolution of gypsum (also called "plaster of Paris") method was used in experimental work [3,[6][7][8][9][10] to measure the mass flux of gypsum into water (summarized below). This dissolution mechanism is analogous to the dissolution of magnetite corrosion film, and simulates the mass transfer environment leading to FAC in NPPs [1].…”

“…When compared to the MTC value of 0.092 mm/s at the upstream straight pipe section, there are 3 enhanced MTC regions. The measured Sh distribution [9] is shown in Figure 10b. The calculated Sh distribution is presented in Figure 10c, with Sh numbers of 6646, 6973, and 6191 in the 3 regions, respectively.…”

“…FAC in a single elbow has been studied previously [2,3]; however, there are limited data available for FAC in 2 consecutive elbows [4,5]. Experiments have been conducted recently at McMaster University [6][7][8][9][10], using the dissolution technique, to quantify wall thinning rates under single-phase flow conditions for 3 arrangements of 2 consecutive elbows, as shown in Figure 1: (i) in-plane S-configuration; (ii) in-plane C-configuration; and (iii) outof-plane configuration. These experimental results were compared with the numerical results to validate the models in this study.…”
