An Experimental Performance Evaluation for a Swirl-Vane Separator Using an Air-Water Test Facility

The most important design parameters of a moisture separator to optimize the efficiency of a nuclear power plant are the moisture carry over and pressure drop. An air-water test facility was constructed to evaluate the design parameters for various types of conventional moisture separators in Korea....
