Performance Predictions of Dry and Wet Vapors Ejectors Over Entire Operational Range by Fenglei Li, Zhao Chang, Qi Tian, Changzhi Wu, Xiangyu Wang

“…In this paper, we proposed a novel model to evaluate the performance of both dry and wet vapors ejectors over the entire operational range at critical or subcritical modes. The model was obtained by integrating the linear characteristic equations of ejector with critical and breakdown points models, which were developed based on the assumptions of constant-pressure mixing and constant-pressure disturbing. …”
