Investigation of unsteady leakage of a boiling liquid in the thermodynamic equilibrium approximation
Abstract
A method is described for investigating unsteady undulatory leakage of a saturated liquid from a ruptured high-pressure pipeline. The motion of the liquid-vapor mixture is described via a homogeneous model of a one-velocity saturated stream. The initial differential equations are transformed to a form that can be conveniently integrated by a finite difference scheme with maximum computer-time savings. The method is used to compute leakage of saturated water at high temperature and pressure from a ruptured pipeline.
