Abstract
Based on the analysis of the physical processes that occur during a steam explosion, it is shown that, in plants of this type, it is necessary to provide the homogeneous-nucleation mode with the fluctuation frequency of formation of viable vapor-phase nuclei in the unit volume of liquid of at least 108 m–3 s–1 and the relative value of liquid overheating of ~1. On the basis of a standard autoclave, a steam-explosion plant that meets the specified requirements is designed and manufactured.
