Abstract

Through the use of an experimental method the influence of inlet water temperature on the shock wave pressure-rise characteristics of steam-water two-phase flows has been investigated. During the tests steam was extracted from a cogeneration plant to serve as the power source. A shock-wave pressure-rise device of the two-phase flow is composed of a steam nozzle, a mixing chamber and relevant valves and piping. An inlet water critical temperature has been discovered in the course of the tests. If the inlet water temperature is greater than the critical value, the pressure-rise characteristics of the above-cited pressure-rise device will decrease dramatically.
