Abstract
The interaction between saturated or superheated steam in quasi-stagnant conditions and subcooled water in horizontal flow within a rectangular-duct test section has been experimentally investigated and the results are presented. A comparison between experimental results and predictions obtained using available correlations showed their inadequacy for a full description of the phenomenon. A laminar-turbulent mathematical model has been developed for the macroscopic description of the phenomenon and tested with the experimental data. The agreement is acceptable and well within the uncertainty band of the experimental measurements.Keywords
