Loss of containment: experimental aerosol rain-out assessment
Résumé
Aerosol rain-out prediction is now far from accurate despite its importance in the loss of containment event. The liquid mass flow entrained with the gas as an aerosol is often assumed to have the same value as the vapor mass flow obtained from a flash calculation. This can lead to a severe prediction error. Our objective is to establish an experimental data base in order to examine the validity of the assumptions in some existing models [1-5].
