Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper presents the results of a small scale experimental program undertaken to investigate critical and subcritical flow correlations between steam quality and pressure. Subcritical flow tests indicate only a general trend exists between steam quality and pressure drop through a venturi. However, for the critical flow of a steam-water mixture in the pressure range of 26 to 69 psia, results indicate a suitable correlation exists between steam quality and upstream pressure. Unlike existing methods for measuring quality, this method is independent of mass flow rate, is insensitive to flow splitting and avoids problems associated with sampling.
