Abstract
Abstract. During the course of expansion of steam in turbines, the vapour rst supercools and then
nucleates to become a two-phase mixture. Formation of the liquid phase causes thermodynamic and
aerodynamic losses in steam turbines. In this study, the treatment is a one-dimensional, non-equilibrium
ow in a steady Laval nozzle. In this paper, the changes in the rate of nucleation, entropy, pressure and
other parameters of the two-phase
ow, subjected to spraying the liquid droplets close to the nozzle's throat,
are investigated. By injecting the water droplets into a supersonic condensing
ow, the thermodynamic
loss is considerably decreased.
