A study of the coarse water droplets formation in the nozzle
Original language description
he paper introduces the experimental results of the droplets formation for three different aqueous solutions. The new wind tunnel was built to study water droplets atomization from liquid films at high speed flow similar to that found in steam turbines. Liquid atomization is a widely studied problem for sprays and generally in the field of aerosol research. A similar phenomenon occurs in steam turbines but mainly with undesirable effects, the formed droplets from the film (coarse droplets) have a negative effect on the reliability and efficiency of the turbines due to the erosion and corrosion by the droplets impact on the leading edges of the blades. The new wind tunnel is equipped with classical pressure and temperature measurement systems for the determination of the initial condition in the settling chamber and measurement of the static pressure along the nozzle with a known profile. The photogrammetric method and light scattering are used to measure the diameter distribution of the droplets. The liquid film is made with an aqueous solution supplied on the symmetrical aerofoil NACA 0008. Different aqueous solutions were studied for different liquid surface tension effects.
