The paper considers problems specific to physical description and modelling of two-phase flow in supercritical steam injector. Flow patterns, condensation and a shock wave are discussed. The model of annular flow for the mixing chamber is proposed and used to determine scaling criteria. Thereafter average heat exchange coefficient in the mixing chamber is evaluated from correlation of experimental data. A model based on the concept of macroscopic viscosity, describing the wave is also presented.

Exergy losses in elements of a steam-water injector have been determined. Exemplary calculations based on the experimental data showed that the highest irreversible losses take place in a two-phase flow in the mixing chamber and in the shock wave region. The exergy efficiency for the injector, defined as the outlet to inlet exergy ratio, has been found to lie in the range of 28-36%.

Obliczono także sprawność egzegetyczną, zdefiniowaną jako iloraz egzergii wylotowej i wlotowej, która dla badanej strumienicy wynosiła 28-36%.
Steam-water injectors are devices in which exchange of mass, momentum and energy between two fluids being in direct contact, occurs. They can operate as pumps, mixers or direct contact heat exchangers. In the last aspect their use as feed-water heaters in Rankine thermal cycle of steam power plants both in land and sea applications (to merchant and naval ships) is very interesting. This paper presents selected results of heat-and-flow investigations of a supercritical steam-water injector, obtained in Institute of Fluid Flow Machinery, Polish Academy of Sciences (IMP PAN). On their basis value of average heat transfer coefficient for mixing chamber was determined; the obtained values were even a few dozens greater than those for classical shell-and-tube heaters. In the theoretical part of this work is presented an original injector model based on balances of mass, momentum and energy, written for control volumes containing separately particular elements of injector. On the basis of the model flow parameters in characteristic cross-sections of injector were determined. The calulations were performed for two different injectors tested in IMP PAN (Gdańsk) and SIET (Piacenza, Italy), and their good compliance with experimental data was achieved.
The paper presents results of experimental investigation of microchannel boiling flow which was controlled by dielectrophoretic (DEP) restrictor. The DEP restrictor was connected to the microchannel liquid supply tube. Operation of DEP restrictor influenced the flow rate at the microchannel inlet. Resulting changes in flow structures and vapour content along the microchannel were observed and analysed with a high-speed video camera. Video recordings were synchronised with measurements of differential pressure between the channel inlet and outlet. It was found that it is possible to change average void fraction in the microchannel by switching on and off the voltage applied to the restrictor electrodes. However, to achieve significant variation of the void fraction, applied voltage should be of the order of 2000 Vpp. The voltage switching also generates oscillations of the differential pressure. The amplitude of these oscillations is proportional to the voltage magnitude, reaching 35 Pa for 2400 Vpp.
In the paper, a method for determination of the near-critical region boundary is proposed. The boundary is evaluated with respect to variations of specific heat capacity along isobars. It is assumed that the value of specific heat capacity inside the near-critical region exceeds by more than 50% the practically constant value typical for fluids under normal conditions. It appears that large variations of heat capacity are also present for high-pressure subcritical states sufficiently close to the critical point. Therefore, such defined near-critical region is located not only in supercritical fluid domain but also extends into subcritical fluid. As an example, the boundaries of the near-critical region were evaluated for water, carbon dioxide and R143a.

The paper aims at the determination of the maximum output pressure as one of the pertinent parameters describing the steam injector performance. Experimental and theoretical results of discharge pressure investigation from steam-water injector are presented. Experiments included measurements of output pressure dependence on varying inlet flow rates of both media and on the water nozzle gap. Maximum output pressure obtained reached 97% of the inlet vapour pressure. Performance of the steam injector is described mathematically using momentum balance in mixing chamber and shock wave region. Loss coefficient of the steam injector is also determined. Having the loss coefficient one can evaluate the maximum pressure for geometry similiar steam injectors. From the analysis of the balance equations, the ways of increasing the maximum discharge pressure are suggested.

This paper investigates the influence of non-equilibrium phase transition in the vapour-liquid mixture on the properties of sound waves. A dispersion relation for small disturbances has been found and analysed. The investigation of evolution of a linear wave in the vapour-liquid mixture creates the background for conclusions concerning a speed of sound in dispersive media.

The paper deals with new technical solutions for outdoor cultivation systems for microalgae production. Various types of algae cultivation systems and materials applied for reactors are described. The characteristics and performance of a novel closed photobioreactor system with “Christmas tree” design (brand name: GICON-PBR) consisting of a silicone double-wall tubing-system, developed in collaboration between the companies GICON and Wacker Chemical corporation, are discussed. Special attention is paid to the issue of temperature control for closed cultivation systems. The performance of the chilling system stabilizing the temperature of algae cultivation, which applies a thermal energy storage filled with Phase Change Material (PCM). Two kinds of the systems are considered: free cooling and with compressor units. The lumped-model equations were developed to analyze heat-transfer dynamics inside the installation and some results are presented here. The model equations describe energy balances for the chiller, PCM thermal storage and heat receiver. Influence of the heat transfer, fluid-flow-rate control, heat capacity of the system components as well as heat losses to ambient were taken into account. The results of PCM storage application are compared with reference water-filled buffer-tank. The study shows a great potential of PCM storage unit to stabilize the temperature of the algae cultivation system.
