Abstract

Experiments on periodic, unsteady compressible flow in a sonic nozzle with heat addition were reported. This unsteady flow is caused by the condensation of water vapor in the sonic nozzle which will affect the flow rate of the sonic nozzle. A dimensional analysis for the essential effect factors of unsteady flow frequency was carried out. An experimental system including a sensor for pressure oscillation monitoring was built. The experimental results agree well with the simulation and semi-empirical formula. Both the sensor and experimental results can be used to further study the effect of unsteady flow due to the condensation of water vapor on the flow rate of the sonic nozzle.
