The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.2 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.8 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00095 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.28 SJR: 0.341 SNIP: 0.536 CiteScore™:: 1.9 H-Index: 57

ABSTRACT

The aim of the present work is to study a full cone pressure swirl nozzle (pressure swirl nozzles) and its configuration on a spray header for the 700MWe Indian Pressurized HeavyWater Reactor (IPHWR) Containment Spray System (CSS) (a FOAK system). The Reynolds number (Re) effect on coefficient of discharge (Cd), spray cone angle, SMD (D32), droplet size distribution, and droplet velocity is investigated for full cone pressure swirl nozzles. Studies are performed to optimize the nozzle configuration on the spray header and the distribution of mass flux. The mass flux density studies are carried out in patternater facilities at IIT Bombay and the Kakrapar Atomic Power Project (KAPP). Water at room temperature is used for the spray in experimental investigation. The nozzle characterization experimental studies are carried out for Re ranging from 1.43 × 105 to 2.49 × 105. A particle droplet image analyzer (PDIA) is used for the measurement of droplet velocity, SMD (D32), and drop size distributions. A simple CCD camera along with a diode laser and patternater software is used for the measurement of the spray cone angle. The catch and time technique is used to measure coefficient of discharge. The droplet flux distribution at different Z/D0 and R/D0 is also performed. Nukiyama-Tanasawa distribution and log-normal peak shifted distribution show a reasonably good confirmation with the present experimental studies.
