region), and finally, the steam produced is superheated in the last part of the annular
riser, up to 390°C. The steam mass fraction at the outlet section of the bayonet tubes
is very close to 1. Fig. 3.2.18 reports the pressure trend along the downcomer and
annulus of the bayonet tubes, showing a pressure drop in nominal conditions of about
2.5bar.
