Abstract

By means of X-ray Beam Scanning Method, void distributions in horizontal pipes during blowdown were measured for various conditions. Two types of X-ray void fraction meters were used; One was scanning upward and downward across the pipes, and the other was highspeed scanning type using a rotating disc. Highspeed scanning type had a void distribution color display system that made it easy to recognize even a slug flow. The data were plotted on the flow regime map and compared with available data. For high mass flux. the flow pattern became annular and was weakly dependent on pressure. For low mass flux, the flow pattern became stratified due to gravity.
