Experimental Study on Steam Cavity Characteristics for Swirled Flow Nozzle Exhausting into Quiescent Water †
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Experimental Setup and Methodology
3. Results and Discussion
3.1. Effect on Steam Cavity Shape
3.2. Effect on Steam Cavity Length
3.3. Effect on Steam Cavity Maximum Expansion Ratio
4. Conclusions
- A total of three different plume shapes exist for the above-described flow conditions: ellipsoidal, double expansion–contraction, and divergent.
- At lower water temperature, an ellipsoidal plume shape was observed. At intermediate water temperature, the double expansion–contraction shape was recorded, while the divergent cavity presented at high water temperature.
- The steam cavity length and maximum expansion ratio were found to be in the range of 6.28–11.5 and 1.71–3.06, respectively.
- With the increase in the subcooled water temperature, both the steam cavity length and maximum expansion ratio increased.
