Abstract

Abstract A program of research sponsored by the Heat Exchange Institute involved pumping 13 pure gases and 12 mixtures of gases with small commercial single and two-stage steam-jet ejectors supplied by two manufacturers. Results were calculated in terms of “air equivalent” or “entrainment ratio,” which is the ratio of the flow rate of gas to that of air under similar conditions. Entrainment ratios were found to be a function of the molecular weight of the gases handled and were plotted as a smooth curve, which is independent of pressure, design characteristics of ejectors, and is applicable to mixture of gases. It is concluded that the curve may be used to predict results obtainable with any ejector system.
