Experimental Procedure
Sight Glass
Boiler
Two Phase Flow
Data Sixteen Instrument Readings: – Pressure –Differential Pressure (dP) – Temperature – Mass flow (suction and motive)
F,P-HEAT DP-1 F,P-EVAP DP-5 DP-2DP-3DP-4
Plots made by dumping data from Labview to Excel and Matlab
Real World Applications Replacement of typical pumps that have moving parts with more passive and reliable ejector pumps Applications with a need for air conditioning in low power areas such as an airplane on the runway or a vehicle in space (no electrically driven pump) Utilize benefits of two phase flow
