Experimental study on total pressure distribution for sonic submerged steam jet

Abstract

Experiments on the condensation of steam jet submerged in the subcooled water were carried out. The water temperature and the inlet steam pressure were in the range of 293 K-343 K and 0.2-0.6 MPa, respectively. Four essential shapes of steam plume were enumerated. According to the comparisons of the pictures of steam plume with the graphs in the same size, the pressure came to maximum value in the contraction spots, except for the double expansion-emanative shape. Moreover, pressure distributions of the flow field were characterized by means of drawing isobar. Comparison and discussions on the relationship between steam plume and pressure distributions were given. With the increase of temperature, pressure distributions within steam plume became more complex. Radial pressure distributions were classified according to different regions. Comparisons of the pressure distributions at different water temperature and inlet steam pressure were obtained.
