3. Two Phase Flow Equations
![Page 15: Module 12 Two Phase Fluid Flow And Heat Transfer 2010 June Nrc](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042714/55391466550346f02f8b496c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
General Terminologies• Two-phase flow
– Simultaneous flow of any two phases (liquid-gas/vapor) 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 / ((1- χ )vf + χvg ) = 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

Terminology Unique to Two Phase (cont.)
• In static (non-flowing system) steam quality: χ is defined:χ = (mass of steam) / (total mass of steam + liquid)
χ = (v - vf ) / vfg
Where v is the specific volume of the two-phase mixture

P- v-T Diagram Definitions1000 psi Line
• “I” state represents initial state at some subcooled (compressed liquid) value at a lower temperature
• “IJ” line represents the heat up of the fluid from a lower temperature subcooled state “I” to saturated liquid state “J” at saturated temperature of 544 ͦͦ F at 1000 psi F(See steam tables on page 83)
• “JK” line represents the continued heat of the two-phase mixture at 1000 psi. The mixture stays at 544 ͦͦ F while it is two-phase, but the specific volume continues to increase. From this time the quality changes from 0 to 1 (Saturated liquid to saturated steam).
• “KL” line represents the continued heat –up from saturated steam to super heated steam as temperature and specific volume increase.

Calculate Quality

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 codes21
![Page 22: Module 12 Two Phase Fluid Flow And Heat Transfer 2010 June Nrc](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042714/55391466550346f02f8b496c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
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
![Page 23: Module 12 Two Phase Fluid Flow And Heat Transfer 2010 June Nrc](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042714/55391466550346f02f8b496c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
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
![Page 24: Module 12 Two Phase Fluid Flow And Heat Transfer 2010 June Nrc](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042714/55391466550346f02f8b496c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
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)
![Page 25: Module 12 Two Phase Fluid Flow And Heat Transfer 2010 June Nrc](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042714/55391466550346f02f8b496c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
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

27
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)
![Page 28: Module 12 Two Phase Fluid Flow And Heat Transfer 2010 June Nrc](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042714/55391466550346f02f8b496c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Example Slip Ratio for BWR Fuel Channel

29
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 water 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

Single Phase Forced Convection Heating• Dittus-Boelter correlation was previously described for
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
• Above subcooled region – different hfilm model would apply• ALSO: When modeling cooling on tube:
hfilm = (k / Dh) 0.023 Pr0.3 Re0.8
• Example problem: heat transfer in subcooled region• Assume: 1000 psia, Tin = 515°F, Vf = 6.8 ft./sec.• Use standard dimensions of GE 8x8 Fuel Bundle• Calculate hfilm

Nucleate Boiling
• Thom correlation is one commonly used for evaluating nucleate boiling:
• qTHOM = 0.05358 x exp(P/630) x (Tc – Tsat(P))2
• qTHOM is the heat transfer rate in BTU/sec.ft.2
• P is pressure in psia• Tc is clad surface temperature in °F• Tsat is saturation temperature for pressure: P

BWR Axial Heat Transfer
![Page 46: Module 12 Two Phase Fluid Flow And Heat Transfer 2010 June Nrc](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042714/55391466550346f02f8b496c/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
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
![Page 47: Module 12 Two Phase Fluid Flow And Heat Transfer 2010 June Nrc](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042714/55391466550346f02f8b496c/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
BWR Axial Heat Transfer• As subcooled water enters heated channel• Temperature rises until boiling point Tsat(P)
at HBOIL:
• Above HBOIL further heat addition only increases steam content, not temperature
• Enthalpy rise: h(z,P) = hsat(P) + χ(z)hfg(P)

54
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:

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
