Void fraction and flow regime in adiabatic upward two-phase flow in large diameter vertical pipes

JP Schlegel, P Sawant, S Paranjape, B Ozar… - … Engineering and Design, 2009 - Elsevier
In pipes with very large diameters, slug bubbles cannot exist. For this reason, the
characteristics of two-phase flow in large pipes are much different than those in small pipes. …

Preparation and enhanced thermal performance of novel (solid to gel) form-stable eutectic PCM modified by nano-graphene platelets

RM Saeed, JP Schlegel, C Castano, R Sawafta - Journal of Energy Storage, 2018 - Elsevier
This study presents the development of form-stable eutectic mixtures, modified with nanoscale
structures for enhanced thermal performance. These additives may result in the next …

Plate type heat exchanger for thermal energy storage and load shifting using phase change material

RM Saeed, JP Schlegel, R Sawafta, V Kalra - Energy Conversion and …, 2019 - Elsevier
The study presents an experimental investigation of a thermal energy storage vessel for load-shifting
purposes. The new heat storage vessel is a plate-type heat exchanger unit with …

Two-phase flow structure in large diameter pipes

TR Smith, JP Schlegel, T Hibiki, M Ishii - … Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow, 2012 - Elsevier
Flow in large pipes is important in a wide variety of applications. In the nuclear industry in
particular, understanding of flow in large diameter pipes is essential in predicting the behavior …

Preparation and thermal performance of methyl palmitate and lauric acid eutectic mixture as phase change material (PCM)

RM Saeed, JP Schlegel, C Castano, R Sawafta… - Journal of Energy …, 2017 - Elsevier
A series of binary mixtures of Methyl Palmitate (MP) and Lauric Acid (LA) were prepared and
investigated, aiming for potential phase change material (PCM) for thermal energy storage …

State-of-the-art and review of condensation heat transfer for small modular reactor passive safety: Experimental studies

PK Bhowmik, JP Schlegel, S Revankar - … Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 2022 - Elsevier
This study focused on state-of-the-art and review of condensation heat transfer for small
modular reactors (SMR). Nuclear reactors adopt passive containment cooling systems (PCCS) …

Experimental study of two-phase flow structure in large diameter pipes

JP Schlegel, S Miwa, S Chen, T Hibiki, M Ishii - Experimental Thermal and …, 2012 - Elsevier
Current thermal–hydraulic analysis codes use static, flow-regime-dependent empirical
models which introduce several sources of error and numerical instability. The interfacial area …

Experimental study of interfacial area transport in air–water two phase flow in a scaled 8× 8 BWR rod bundle

X Yang, JP Schlegel, Y Liu, S Paranjape… - International Journal of …, 2013 - Elsevier
In order to accurately predict nuclear reactor behavior, the ability to predict the transfer of
mass, momentum and energy between the phases in two-phase flows, whether in the Reactor …

Measurement and modeling of two-phase flow parameters in scaled 8× 8 BWR rod bundle

X Yang, JP Schlegel, Y Liu, S Paranjape… - International journal of …, 2012 - Elsevier
The behavior of reactor systems is predicted using advanced computational codes in order
to determine the safety characteristics of the system during various accidents and to …

Beyond bubbly two-phase flow investigation using a CFD three-field two-fluid model
