Superposition of two incident shocks in R718 vapor flows

摘要

Although the positive values of the fundamental gas-dynamic derivative of R718 near vapor-liquid equilibrium line ensures no occurrence of the non-classical behavior like rarefaction shock waves, the occurrence of the homogenous condensations due to rarefaction waves must be taken into account when using the moving shocks and rarefaction waves in wave devices. In this article, the superposition behaviors such as shockwave refraction and reflection of two moving incident shocks for R718 vapor flows near this the vapor-liquid equilibrium zone, have been intensively studied. And the supercharging characteristic of two superposition moving incident shocks for R718 vapor flows achieves remarkable high boosting pressure ratios of about square of those of one primary equal-intensity shock. This inspiring result could be fully used for vapor recompression in multi-effect distillation technology (MED) for brine water treatment. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
