About this document
Steam Quality and Void Fraction Analysis by Francisco Opps is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The paper presents a theoretical model for two-phase flow that considers it to consist of three regions: a liquid region, a vapor region, and an interface region where evaporation occurs. Equations are derived for the force balance in each region and for the overall two-phase flow system. For horizontal flow with no heat addition, this results in a relationship between steam quality and void fraction. The model provides explanations for differences between vertical and horizontal pipes, the effect of total
