Abstract
The flow of a flashing mixture of water and steam through smooth annuli of fine clearance has been investigated experimentally. Test data have been obtained with inlet conditions to 600 F and 3000 psi. Critical conditions have been observed experimentally up to these temperatures and pressures. With the assumption that the flashing mixture is homogeneous a method for the prediction of flow and two-phase pressure drop is presented and discussed.Keywords
