Abstract:
Objective of this paper is analysis of one-dimensional, uniform two-phase flow of liquid and steam phase. In first part of the calculation, parameters of water, steam and two-phase mixture were obtained by numerical solving of mass, momentum and energy balance equations for one-dimensional one-phase or two-phase compressible fluid. By applying the „two-fluid“ model, solving balance equations for each phase and using corresponding constitutive correlation, parameters of water and steam were obtained as well as volume fraction of water and steam. Balance equations were solved using Runge-Kutta method after they were transformed from partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations. In calculation were took into account change in density due warming along evaporator canal with the assumption that the water heats with uniform heat flux over the entire length. The results of conducted calculation were presented graphically.
