Experimental analysis of two-phase flow nozzle for desalination and power generation system

摘要

This paper presents theoretical and experimental performance analysis for two-phase flow nozzle. Governing equations have been discussed with the performance predictions for different inlet temperatures and outlet pressures. Different size nozzles have been tested for varying inlet and outlet conditions. The experimental results have shown that for simple nozzle geometry (orifice) the expansion is far away from a complete isentropic expansion. Reaction force measurements for an ideal condition (i.e. isentropic expansion) and real condition are compared and discussed.
