Hydrodynamics of vapor-liquid flows in curvilined channels of separation devices of power plants

The main factor that affects the efficiency of separation process is lack contact with surface shutter when moving in flow small droplets wet steam. This depends on physical and chemical properties vapor, dispersion droplets, parameters movement two-phase medium, adhesion edge angle, geometry channel. Purpose. Determination limit modes operation devices depending quantity droplet liquid, geometric characteristics curved channels. Methodology. methodology based analysis model a medium under action mass gravitational forces horizontal Findings. A mathematical presented for determining trajectory liquid curvilinear corrugation channel louvered package separator-superheater. conditions film destruction dynamic break-up are defined. method expanding range stable proposed. Based obtained correlations, design blind optimized. Originality. channel, was developed capture dispersed phase determined. Practical value. results allow optimization boiler drums, steam generators superheater separators II circuit VVER-1000, fuel preparation systems GTU.
