Numerical simulation of bulk condensation in gas-vapor mixtures flowing through a nozzle

Resumo

The behavior of heavy water and n-nonane vapors mixed with an incondensable gas has been numerically simulated under the conditions of nonequilibrium bulk condensation. The efficiency of the employed mathematical model has been verified using available experimental data. The applicability of the conventional nucleation theory and modification thereof to the description of bulk condensation in a gas–vapor mixture flowing through a nozzle has been analyzed.
