Erratum: "Air/Water Counter-Current Flow Experiments in a Model of the Hot Leg of a Pressurized Water Reactor" (Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power, 2009, 131(2), p. 022905)

An error in the implementation into the test facility of the air flow meter used during the experiments was noticed after publication of the paper. As a consequence, the raw flow rates recorded by the digital data acquisition system with this flow meter are wrong. In order to correct the measured flow rates, a calibration curve was recorded with a certified rotameter. The obtained calibration points could be correlated in order to obtain the correction function applied to the raw measuring values. This resulted in the following modifications compared to the original paper: • p. 1, last two sentences of the Abstract: A good overall agreement was obtained, especially for the zero liquid penetration, while the slope of the CCFL characteristics was lower compared to previous work. This deviation may be attributed to the rectangular cross-section of the hot leg model. • p. 3, end of Sec. 3.1: (…) the air mass flow rate was varied between 0.23 and 0.41 kg/s.
