Title: Two-phase fluid flow through nozzles and abrupt enlargements

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5315989· OSTI ID:5315989

The problem of a critical flow of two-phase mixture, boosted to a selected stagnation state and allowed to flow through a nozzle orifice into a long straight tube, is treated generically and analytically, making use of the basic laws of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. Specific calculations have been performed using R-114 as the flowing medium. An attempt is made to identify and describe all possible flow conditions in and downstream of the nozzle for all possible stagnation conditions. (LEW)
