EXPERIMENTAL SETUP FOR THE INVESTIGATION OF WATER SEPARATION IN ANNULAR FLOW WITHIN A CIRCULAR CHANNEL
R. Haidl¹, B. Weigand¹; ¹Institute of Aerospace Thermodynamics, University of Stuttgart, Germany
An experimental investigation of different separation lip designs is carried out to better understand the process of water separation from a supersaturated flow in a circular, horizontal channel. The experiments are conducted at Reynolds numbers between Re ? 70,000?230,000 and for different levels of supersaturation. The water recovery factor and the pressure loss denote the two key parameters.
