Summary

In the current work, we present a CFD simulation of condensation of supercritical carbon dioxide inside a converging-diverging nozzle. We use the pressure-based Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase solver along with the thermal phase change model to simulate the sudden condensation in transonic flows with phase change. The thermal phase change (TPC) model-based condensation and evaporation algorithm is implemented in Ansys Fluent. The numerical results obtained for supersonic condensing flow inside a converging-diverging nozzle are validated using pressure variations along the nozzle axis. In addition, the results obtained for the non-equilibrium condensation of carbon dioxide, like, vapor supercooling, supersaturation, temperature, and pressure variations along the nozzle axis are discussed. The results are expected to contribute towards a better understanding of flow phenomena inside a CO2 ejector with flow control.
