Numerical study of condensation in cocurrent stratified flows
Abstract
A mathematical model of mass, momentum, and energy exchange in two phase, separated flow is described, with application to the study of condensation processes in concurrent, horizontally stratified, steam water flow. Steady state numerical solutions are obtained for a variety of steam and water inflow conditions and are compared with experimental measurements. Analysis of these results provides insight regarding the interrelationship of the various processes that influence condensation.
