STEAM CHUGGING

Specialty Definition: STEAM CHUGGING

DomainDefinition

Nuclear Energy & Physics

Injection of steam(by accident or design)into a pool of subcooled water causes a quasi-periodic growth and collapse of bubbles known as "chugging". The steam generally forms a bubble in the pool and expands. There is then rapid condensation drastically reducing the pressure in the bubble which causes it to collapse. Almost instantaneously this creates pressure waves that propagate through the water and hit the walls of the containment. Repeated collapses, often several in a second, can cause significant structural loads. Source: European Union. (references)
