Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The aim of the study is to reveal the complication of the flow process of a steam-jet by using the simulation software package (FLUENT). The paper is able to analyze the flow phenomena inside the steam-jet when its throat length was varied. It is found that the entrainment ratio remains unchanged when the throat length is varied. It is also found that the shocking position moved closer to the exit of the vacuum pump and the critical back pressure of the steam-jet pump increased with the elongation of the throat.
