An analytical two-phase flow void prediction method
Abstract
A simple formula without empirical constraints has been developed, which even in the limits fits the requirements of an analytical void fraction prediction method. It has been compared with two state-of-the-art correlations, in the parameter range of operation of a BWR at steady state, and with some air-water data. It fits the first-case data rather well, and correlates the air-water data with even greater accuracy.
