In a dispersed two-phase flow, the mixture chokes at a velocity well below the vapor choking velocity, as shown by the velocity at the throat of a converging-diverging, two-phase, supersonic nozzle. The formation and abruptness of a normal shock wave in a two-phase mixture depends strongly on the coupling between phases, particularly upon droplet size. As droplet size becomes small, the mixture behaves as a continuum, and sharp discontinuities can occur at velocities above the two-phase choking velocity but below the vapor sonic velocity. An approximate analysis is performed to incidate the droplet size at which continuum behavior might be expected to occur. A numerical model, which includes the drag, buoyancy, Basset force, and the force associated with the virtual mass effect, is used to show droplet-size dependence in two-phase normal shock waves. For the examples presented, continuum behavior apparently is approached at droplet diameters between 1 and 2 μm, even through normal shock waves.

The two-phase model of vapor-gas-liquid medium in axisymmetric two-dimensional formulation, taking into account vaporization is constructed. The nonstationary processes of boiling vapor-water mixture outflow from high-pressure vessels as a result of depressurization are studied. The problems of shock waves action on filled by gas-liquid mixture volumes are solved.

A theoretical model is developed for predicting the maximum flow rate of a single component, two-phase mixture. It is based upon annular flow, uniform linear velocities of each phase, and equilibrium between liquid and vapor. Flow rate is maximized with respect to local slip ratio and static pressure for known stagnation conditions. Graphs are presented giving maximum steam/water flow rates for: local static pressures between 25 and 3,000 psia, with local qualities from 0.01 to 1.00; local stagnation pressures and enthalpies which cover the range of saturation states.

Dense, polycrystalline MgO was infiltrated with monticellite (CaMgSiO4) liquid to study the penetration of liquid along the grain boundaries of MgO. Grain growth was found to be restricted with increasing amounts of liquid. The inter-granular regions were generally found to be comprised of a two-phase mixture: crystalline monticellite and a glassy phase rich in the impurities present in the starting MgO material. MgO grains act as seeding agents for the crystallization of monticellite. The location and composition of the glassy phase with respect to the MgO grains emphasizes the role of intergranular liquid during the devitrification process in “snowplowing” impurities present in the matrix.
