The liquid phase experiment is finished ,and the relation curve of input- pressure and input-flow、output-flow、distributary rate are worked out.We are bout to calculate the production capacity and define the best distribution rate of the operation parameters.At the same time , the solid-liquid phase separating experiment are made too and we conclude the relation curve of input-pressure and consistency 、separating efficiency .Comparing with the numerical simulation ,the result is reasonable.

During the course of expansion of steam in turbines the fluid first supercools and then nucleates to become a two-phase mixture. The liquid phase consists of a large number of extremely small droplets which are difficult to generate except by nucleation. To reproduce turbine two-phase flow conditions requires a supply of supercooled vapour which can be achieved under blow-down conditions by the equipment employed. This paper is the third of a set describing an investigation into the performance of a cascade of rotor tip section profiles in wet steam and presents the results of the wake traverses.

Abstract Labyrinth seals are widely applied in turbomachinery for gas and liquid sealing. A series of labyrinth seal leakage equations so far have been proposed for compressible gas, but few equations for incompressible liquid. Based on the flow conserving governing equations, this paper originally presents semi-empirical analytic equations of the leakage flow rate and tooth-clearance pressure for liquid-phase flow in the straight-through labyrinth seal. The equations indicate that the leakage and pressure are closely related to the inlet pressure, outlet pressure, seal geometrical parameters and four empirical coefficients, whilst no relation to the temperature and compressibility effects compared to the common gas equations. The empirical coefficients include the velocity compensation coefficient, friction coefficient, jet contraction coefficient and resistance coefficient. Particularly, the velocity compensation coefficient is determined through an optimization by the genetic algorithm, while others are referred from previous research. Ultimately, taking the sealing of deeply subcooled liquid nitrogen within the spindle of the cryogenic cooling machine tool as a case, the accuracy of proposed equations is evaluated under various pressure ratios and geometry conditions using the numerical approach, whose numerical model has been validated by the experimental data in the literature. The results show that errors between calculation and simulation are generally within the limit of ±5%, except for the pressure values at the first two teeth. This work provides a theoretical basis for further studies on the liquid leakage equations in other labyrinth seal types.

In this research, the two-phase slug regime is investigated analytically with an engineering approach. due to the velocity gradient in the layers of the two-phase flow, numbers of waves form and grow in the liquid phase and may block the duct which in this case is called slug. Blocking the flow, it causes higher pressure accumulation which is the main reason of slug’s momentum through the duct. Simplifying the slug’s geometry and using basic physics laws yielded an equation between the slug’s back pressure and its length.
