Transport of Contaminants with Boiler Water Steam

A method for determining coefficients of distribution of contaminants between boiler water and steam generated in boilers and steam generators of nuclear power plants, which is based on standard thermodynamic dissociation constants, is presented. Appropriate analytical dependences are given for hydroxides of metals used in the power industry for pressures of 40, 87.5, and 155 kgf/cm2 (3.9, 8.6, and 15.2 MPa).
