supersonic separators have found extensive applications in dehumidification of natural gases since 2003. unlike previous studies, which have investigated the inlet conditions and nozzle geometry of supersonic separators for pure fluids, the present study employed a combination of momentum, heat, and mass transfer equations along with virial equation of state (eos) to inspect the effect of inlet...

Impulse generation with gaseous detonation requires conversion of chemical energy into mechanical energy. Because of the poor performance of straight detonation tubes compared to conventional propulsion systems and the success of using nozzles on rocket engines, the effect of nozzles on detonation tubes is being investigated. The first experimental investigation measuring impulse by gaseous det...

compressible gas flow inside a convergent-divergent nozzle and its exhaust plume atdifferent nozzle pressure ratios (npr) have been numerically studied with severalturbulence models. the numerical results reveal that, the sst k–ω model give the bestresults compared with other models in time and accuracy. the effect of changes in value ofdivergence half-angle (ε ) on the nozzle performance, thru...

A non-barotropic continuum bubbly mixture model is used to study the one-dimensional cavitating ow through a converging-diverging nozzle. The nonlinear dynamics of the cavitation bubbles are modeled by the Rayleigh-Plesset equation. Analytical results show that the bubble/bubble interaction through the hydrodynamics of the surrounding liquid has important e ects on this con ned ow eld. One clea...

A planar and instantaneous visualization study of high-speed gas jets and their airblast sprays was performed to qualitatively examine the different atomization performances of different gas nozzles. For the visualization of high-speed gas jets (with no liquid injected), Nd:YAG pulsed laser sheets imaged the clustered vapor molecules in the Rayleigh range (d@j), condensed from the natural humid...

A computational analysis of an annular converging-diverging (CD) and an altitude adaptive expansion-deflection (ED) nozzle is presented. Numerical results were generated using a 2D axisymmetric, pressure-coupled solver in conjunction with the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence closure model and second order spatial discretisation schemes. Results were recorded over a theoretical altitude range and com...

S U M M A R Y The transonic flow near the throat of a converging-diverging nozzle of a gas with infinite electrical conductivity is considered. The magnetic field B is everywhere aligned with the velocity q so that the equations describing the flow are reducible to those of ordinary gasdynamics. Thus, it is possible to utilize the transonic similarity solution of Tomotika and Tamada [3] to stud...
