A Digital Computer Program for Condensation in Expanding One-Component Flows

摘要

The report describes a digital computer program for calculating vapor condensation processes that occur in rapidly expanding flows. The treatment emphasizes the program logic required to satisfy the requirements of the mathematical model. Among the most important of these requirements are the search for the onset of nucleation, in an isentropically expanding flow, and the iteration procedure necessary for the joint solution of the nucleation and growth equations and the diabatic flow equations. The program features flexibility in allowable input conditions, short execution time, and a convenient output format. (Author)
