An analytical method for Wilson point in nozzle flow with homogeneous nucleating

Multi-phase model development to assess RCIC system capabilities under severe accident conditions

“…Thus, the heat addition is proportional to evolved wetness which can be obtained by evaluation of the socalled nucleation-growth integrals [Dobbins, 1983] as will be discussed below. The Rayleigh flow relationships ( [Cengel and Boles [2008], [Dobbins, 1983], [Ding et al, 2013]) are such that a downstream state (e.g. state 'n') can be determined from an upstream state (idealized state 'a' in this case) and a known heat addition between states.…”

CFD modeling of condensation process of water vapor in supersonic flows

“…Theoretical and experimental studies have been conducted for the condensation process in supersonic flows, focusing on the nucleation theory, droplet size, latent heat [10][11][12]. Numerical simulations have been performed to predict the condensing flow with the development of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for several decades.…”

Influences of area ratio and surface roughness on homogeneous condensation in ejector primary nozzle

“…A two-phase flow model was proposed by Ding et al to evaluate the influence of condensation on the mass flow rate of Laval nozzle. Afterwards, they developed an analytical resolution to compute the wet steam flow properties in an efficient way [15,16]. Sharifi et al [17] and Wang et al [18] conducted early numerical investigation on the homogeneous condensation inside the ejector.…”
