RADIOTRACER APPLICATION IN MALAYSIA: RESIDENCE TIME DISTRIBUTION STUDY

2017 Malaysian Journal of Analytical Science  
The residence time distribution (RTD) study at power generation plant was successfully carried out using radiotracer technology. In this study, Tc 99m was used as the source of radioactive whereas NaI(Tl) detector was the scintillant detector. Previous study only concentrated on getting the flow rate from two successive peaks without producing any mathematical model. Thus, the hydrodynamics behaviour of the liquid inside the plant was weakly described. In this study, axial dispersed plug flow
