An asymmetrical λ-foot of condensing steam flow in the IMP PAN nozzle

Abstract

In the present paper we have focused on the precise prediction of the spontaneous condensation phenomena in wet steam flow. Novelty of our approach lies on modelling both the moment of initiation of a phase transition, as well as the moment of its reverse progress - called here re-vaporization of the condensate phase. The practical issue is to elaborate of a model of spontaneous condensation/vaporization of water steam flow under low-pressure conditions by using methodology of non-equilibrium thermodynamics [2]. The basic tests including comparison with an experimental data have been performed using the IMP PAN nozzle with the de Laval geometry [1]. Having observed the finishing of a foggy flow within the shock wave, according to Puzyrewski’s postulate [1], we would like to analyse the topography of the shock wave pattern in the IMP PAN symmetric nozzle. This phenomenon, independently from a type of compressible fluid, has been observed to be the result of interaction between a normal shock wave and the boundary layer – it has been known as a lambda-foot structure [3]. The asymmetry of the shock structure is measured by optical system and visible since the foggy flow can be easily observed. Our paper is a trial towards to an explanation of this problem.
