Experimental investigation of subcooled void growth for upflow and downflow at low velocities and low pressure

A two-phase experimental loop was designed and built to simulate the operating conditions of the SLOWPOKE reactor. Void growth was measured for both upflow and downflow for velocities between 0.07 to 0.46 m/s and at a pressure of 155 kPa. The buoyancy effect causes the Onset of Significant Void, OS...
