Analysis of nitrogen condensation in an expanding nozzle flow
Abstract
Condensation of nitrogen in an expanding nozzle flow is analyzed using one-dimensional gas dynamic equations for nucleation and droplet growth. Effects due to variations in the Tolman constant and the mass accommodation factor are presented as well as those due to the presence of foreign nuclei. Results are compared with experimental data obtained from a small, contoured nozzle.
