A model of motion of a gas-dispersed medium in the presence of processes of nucleation, coagulation and phase transitions has been constructed. A homogeneous nucleation model is used to describe the nucleation process. It is believed that the process of cluster coagulation occurs due to their Brownian motion. The analysis of the solution of the coagulation equation in the particular case of monodisperse clusters in the presence of a source and sink of particles is carried out. To determine the rate of phase transitions the Hertz-KnudsenLangmuir formula is used. The calculations were carried out on the basis of a quasi-one-dimensional model within the equilibrium approximation (when the velocities and temperatures of the phases coincide). As a result of the study the main properties of the flow of a two-phase mixture in a channel in the presence of nucleation, coagulation, and phase transformations have been established. It is shown that the vapor temperature increases along the channel and reaches the saturation temperature at some distance from the channel entrance. Calculations have shown that the coagulation process has a rather strong effect on the distribution of cluster sizes along the channel.

This paper provides an extension of the previously described [1] formulation of a one-dimensional model for steady, compressible flow inside a channel, to the steam turbine application. The major challenge faced in the network simulation of the steam turbine secondary system is the prediction of the condensation that occurs during the engine start-up on the cold parts that are below the saturation temperature. Neglecting condensation effects may result in large errors in the engine temperatures since they are calculated based on the boundary conditions (heat transfer coefficient and bulk temperature) which depend on the solution of the network analysis. This paper provides a detailed formulation of a one-dimensional model for steady, compressible flow inside a channel which is based on the solution of two equations for a coupled system of mass, momentum and energy equations with wall condensation. The model also accounts for channel area variation, inclination with respect to the engine axis, rotation, wall friction and external heating. The formulation was first validated against existing 1D correlation for an idealized case. The wall condensation is modeled using the best-suited film condensation models for pressure and heat transfer coefficient available in the literature and has been validated against the experimental data with satisfactory predictions.

This paper presents the results of mathematical modelling of three–dimensional heat transfer in a closed two-phase thermosyphon taking into account phase transitions. Three-dimensional conduction equation was solved by means of the finite difference method (FDM). Locally one-dimensional scheme of Samarskiy was used to approximate the differential equations. The effect of the thermosyphon height and temperature of its bottom lid on the temperature difference in the vapor section was shown.

A method for calculating quasi-one-dimensional, steady-state, two-phase dispersed droplet-in-vapor flow has been developed. The technique is applicable to both subsonic and supersonic single component flow in which normal shock waves may occur, and is the basis for a two-dimensional model. The flow is assumed to be inviscid except for droplet drag. Temperature and pressure equilibrium between phases is assumed, although this is not a requirement of the technique. Example calculations of flow in one-dimensional nozzles with and without normal shocks are given and compared with experimentally measured pressure profiles for both low quality and high quality two-phase steam-water flow.
