Abstract
A study is made of flow in turbulent jets when there is condensation of the water vapor contained in them. A necessary condition for condensation in vapor-air jets is formulated. Relations are obtained for the regime of equilibrium condensation. An experimental investigation was made of the local characteristics of an isobaric turbulent vapor jet exhausting into air at rest when condensation develops in the jet and foreign condensation nuclei (smoke particles) and charged particles (ions produced in a corona discharge) are introduced into the flow. Measurements were made of the local characteristics of the condensed disperse phase — the Sauter diameter d32 of the drops and their volume concentration cs — using the optical method of an integrating diaphragm. It is shown that d32 and32 cs increase downstream in the main section of the jet. Specific features of temperature measurements using an end-type microthermocouple were established. Quantitative data were obtained about the influence on the condensation of the thermal conditions and the presence of the foreign particles. The conditions under which there is an intensification of the condensation in vapor-air jets in the presence of ions were determined.
