Abstract
The frequency analysis shows that the chugging frequencies of the steam bubbles range from 1 to 3 Hz, as predicted. Also the natural frequencies of the bubbles are visible around 53 Hz. Another frequency spike was observed close to the 125 Hz. This frequency is close to the mechanical resonance frequencies of the suppression pool and the blowdown pipe. Because of neither the pressure suppression pool nor the blowdown pipe are visible to the pattern recognition, the spike of the higher frequencies is most likely from the interfacial area of the bubble which resonates with the suppression pool system, affecting rapid condensation at a certain point.
