An Experimental Investigation of Two-phase, Two-component Flow in a Horizontal, Converging-diverging Nozzle


Book Description

A discussion is presented of an investigation of the flow characteristics in a horizontal, converging-diverging nozzle for a two-phase, air- water system. The primary consideration, to determine the effects of accelerating the liquid phase by the gaseous phase, was measured in terms of nozzle exit water velocity, exit slip ratio, and exit acceleration factor. A gamma-ray-attenuation technique was used to determine these values by determining the average cross-sectional void fraction, the ratio of gas volume to total volume, for the air-water mixture.
