蒸気爆発トリガリングにおける蒸気膜の線形安定性解析(熱工学,内燃機関,動力など)

抄録

A Detailed analytical model to explain the vapor film collapse was developed to evaluate the occurrence conditions of self-triggering vapor explosions. The following conclusions were drawn based on linear stability analysis using the thermo-dynamic property of water, by linearizing and perturbing basic equations (Rayleigh-Lamb-Plesset's bubble momentum equation, the mass conservation equation, the state equation for ideal gas, and the Clausius-Clapeyron equation). The vapor film stabilizes with the reduction of the hot-liquid diameter, decreasing the condensation heat transfer coefficient, and increasing the thermal radiation coefficient. The cold-liquid viscosity and surface tension have a stabilizing effect, though this effect is negligibly small where the hot-liquid diameter is over 1 mm. The analysis predicts the vapor explosion occurrence limits obtained experimentally by other researchers to within approximately 10 K.
