General Terminologies• Two-phase flow
– Simultaneous flow of any two phases (liquid-gas/vapor, solid-gas, liquid-solid) of a single substance
– Examples: reactor fuel channels, steam generators, kettle on a hot stove
– Also referred to as “Single-component two-phase flow”
• Two-component flow– Simultaneous flow of liquid and gas of two substances– Examples: oil-gas pipelines, beer, soft drink, steam-water-air
flow at discharge of safety valve.– Also referred to as “Two-component, two-phase flow”

Terminology Unique to Two Phase
• In static (non-flowing system) steam quality: χ is defined:χ = (mass of steam) / (total mass of steam + liquid)
• In static (non-flowing system) void fraction: α is defined:α = (volume of steam in mixture) / (total volume of steam + liquid)• Void fraction can be expressed in terms of steam quality
and specific volumes (from Steam Tables) as follows:α = χvg / (vg + χvfg ) = 1 / {1 + [(1 – χ)/ χ] vf / vg }
• Where: vg is specific volume of steam in ft3/lb-mvf is specific volume of liquid in ft3/lb-mvfg = vg - vf is difference in specific volumes

Void Fraction• Ratio of Vapor flow area to total flow area• Depends strongly on pressure, mass flux,
and quality• Applied to calculate the acceleration
pressure drop in steady-state homogeneous code
• Large number of correlations proposed• Solved from conservation equations in
two-fluid reactor safety codes20

Steam Rises Faster in Channel Than Liquid
• Because of lower density (buoyancy) steam will rise up vertical channel faster than surrounding liquid
• Slip ratio: S, is the ratio of steam velocity to liquid velocityS = Vg / Vf
where: Vg is steam velocity in ft. / sec.Vf is liquid velocity in ft. / sec.
• Slip ratio modifies static definitions of α (void fraction) and χ (steam quality) in flowing two phase system

22
Relative Velocities Are Different• If total mass flow rate is:
W (lb-m/sec)• Steam flow rate is: χW• Liquid flow rate is: (1- χ)W• Phase volumetric velocity
of steam is:Vg = vg W χ / Ag
-where: Ag is relative cross sectional area of steam in two phase column
• Phase volumetric velocity of liquid is:
Vf = vf W(1- χ) / Af

23
Definition of Slip in Terms of Steam Quality and Void Fraction
• Slip: S = Vg / Vf
• Slip defined in terms of steam quality by combining:Vg = vg W χ / Ag
Vf = vf W(1- χ) / Af
• This yields:S = (χ / 1- χ)(Af / Ag)(vg / vf)
• Noting that in small slice of column, ratio of steam to total mixture is: α = Ag / Ag+ Af , rearranging this:
(Af / Ag) = (1 – α )/ α• Slip can then be expressed:
S = (χ / 1- χ)[(1 – α )/ α](vg / vf)

24
Definition of Void Fraction in Terms of Steam Quality and Slip
• Slip equation can be rearranged to define void fraction: αin terms of steam quality and Slip:
• When S = 1: steam and liquid move at exact same speed
Effect of slip:
• Slip decreases void fraction α(χ) below that which exists in situation of no slip between steam and liquid

Void Fraction Sensitivities:
• Sensitivity of Void fraction α to Mixture Quality and Slip can be seen by computing α(χ) for a spectrum of pressure and assumed Slip values
• S = 1 implies homogeneous steam/water flow (moving together)

What Does Slip Mean to the Core Fluid Flow?
Low S value (S = 1) implies:• Voids and water travel about same speed
Higher S value (S = 2,3) implies:• Steam carries out higher enthalpy thus heat is
removed faster• Voids swept out of channel faster which is benefit for
neutron economy• Predicting Slip from first principles is not easy• Designers rely upon tests and scaling-up from previous

PWR steady state heat removal• Dittus-Boelter correlation is appropriate for subcooled
region of BWR fuel channel (before boiling starts)hfilm = (k / Dh) 0.023 Pr0.4 Re0.8

Thermal Limits of Operation• MAPLHGR – Maximum linear heat generation
rate is based on burn-up and not exceeding maximum fuel temperature limits of 2200 ͦ F during LOCA.
• LHGR-Linear heat generation rate limit is 13.4 kw/ft as a conservative limit to ensure that 1% plastic strain on the clad is not exceeded.
• MCPR- Minimum Critical Power Ratio is thermal hydraulic limits of the fluid in the core and is calculated by GEXL correlation, which has been developed based on experiments to avoid Boiling Transition.

BWR Axial Heat Transfer
• Recall: Axial, radial distribution derived earlier (same as in PWR)
• Φ(r,z) = ΦoJo(2.405r/R)Cos(πz/H)• Again assume linear power
density in individual rod given by:q(z) = qoCos(πz/H)qo = (πRc
2) Ef ∑f Φo Jo(2.405r/R)• Energy balance along single rod
in BWR must now reflect heating subcooled water up to saturation point below: HBOIL
• Above HBOIL: boiling heat transfer

Pressure Drop in Two Phase System• Recall: For single phase flow system in channel, pressure
drop in psia can be calculated:
• In two phase system: pressure drop is larger• Experimental tests have lead to a simple working relationship
between single phase and two phase pressure drops.• Following homogeneous two phase pressure drop has been
developed for steady state flow conditions:
• -where: ΔP2Φ is calculated assuming all liquid flow at total mass flow rate

Acceleration Pressure Drop• Coolant change of phase causes increase in volume• Increased volume causes acceleration in fuel channel• Assuming cross-sectional area within fuel channel is Ac
• Force due to change in fluid momentum is:F = Δpa Ac = [ (mf Vf +mg Vg )– mtot Vin]
- where: Δpa is pressure drop due to acceleration in psi- Ac is the channel area in: in.2
- mtot , mf ,mg are respectively incoming, and exit fluid/gas mass flow rates in lb-m./hr.- Vin, Vf , Vg are respectively corresponding fluid velocities

Acceleration Pressure Drop• Solving for Δpa by inserting relationships for mf ,mg and χexit
Δpa = [ (1- χexit)mtotVf + χexitmtotVg – mtotVin]= (mtot/Ac) [ (1- χexit)Vf + χexitVg – Vin]
• Defining mass-flow rate per unit cross-sectional area: G in units of lb-m./hr. in.2 - this equates to:
Δpa = G [(1- χexit)Vf + χexitVg – Vin]
• Considering continuity, fluid exit velocity (Vf ) can be expressed in terms of specific volume: vf
Vf = mf vf /Af = (1- χexit)mtotvf /Af = (1- χexit)mtotvf /(1- α exit)Af
= (1- χexit)Gvf /(1- α exit)

Acceleration Pressure Drop
• Similarly – gas flow velocity and inlet fluid velocity are:Vg = χexitGvg/α exit Vin = Gvin ≈ G vf
• Substituting these – acceleration pressure drop becomes:Δpa = G2[(1- χexit)2vf /(1- α exit) + χexit
2vg/α exit – vf]= G2 vf [(1- χexit)2/(1- α exit) + χexit
2vg/vfα exit – 1]
• An overall acceleration Multiplier Ra can now be defined:Ra = vf [(1- χexit)2/(1- α exit) + χexit
2vg/vfα exit – 1]
• Acceleration pressure drops would be calculated:Δpa = G2Ra

2-Phase Expansion and Contraction Losses
• Recall in treatment of single phase pressure drops:
ΔP = KρVin2 / 2
• Situation for two-phase flow is more complicated
• Corresponding pressure drops for two-phase flow are larger.
• Higher void fractions result in larger pressure drops

Summary
• Heat transfer in BWR fuel channels can be evaluated using approaches based on convective heat transfer based experimental data.
• Heat flux models exist for all heat transfer regimes. These are complicated correlations based on experiments.
• Pressure drops due to two phase flow are greater than those found for single phase flow.
• Fluid Flow Transient and LOCA Situations are evaluated using Large Computer Programs such as RELAP5, TRAC and TRACE
