Abstract Combines theories of gas dynamics, fluid dynamics and numerical heat transfer theory, the condensing flow characteristics of water vapor in wet
natural gas within the Laval nozzle were studied. A mathematical model was developed to predict the spontaneous condensing phenomenon in the
supersonic flows using the classical nucleation and droplet growth theories. The numerical approach is validated with the experimental data by using
UDF and UDS modules in FLUENT software, which shows a good agreement between them, and showed that the mathematical model can better
predict the parameter changes in the condensation process. The condensation… More >
