In this study, a 20 L tank was used to investigate the two-phase flow behaviors during depressurized releases of superheated liquids. The researchers utilized high-speed camera and phase Doppler anemometry to analyze the characteristics of the jet and its breakup. Based on the interaction between thermodynamic and mechanical effects, quantitative criteria were developed to distinguish different breakup regimes.
Accidental superheated liquid emissions into the atmosphere yield two-phase releases. The resulting flashing jet, driven by thermal nonequilibrium and mechanical forces, breaks up into massive droplets, fostering beneficial conditions for fire, explosion, and toxic diffusion. In this work, a 20 L tank was built to examine two-phase flow behaviors during depressurized releases of superheated liquids via a high-speed camera and phase Doppler anemometry. Different breakup regimes of flashing jet and dimensionless groups that effectively represent thermodynamic (RpJa) and mechanical (WevOh) driving effects were determined. Based on the interaction be-tween the two effects, quantitative criteria to distinguish different regimes were developed. The accompanying jet characteristics, including jet angle (theta), area fraction (fA), droplet diameter (dSMD), and droplet velocity (ud), and their relationship with jet breakup were revealed. Results show that non-flashing (NFB), partially flashing (PFB), and fully flashing (FFB) breakups coincide with RpJa(WevOh)1/7 < 41, 41 <= RpJa(WevOh)1/7 < 223, and 223 <= RpJa(WevOh)1/7, respectively. For small-sized nozzles (d <= 3 mm), theta 2 and fA2 increase within 41 <= RpJa (WevOh)1/7 < 558 and then keep stable. The difference for large-sized nozzles resides in 223 <= RpJa(WevOh)1/7 < 558 (early FFB regime), where theta 2 and fA2 decrease slightly due to the enhanced droplet evaporation. In 41 <= RpJa (WevOh)1/7, dSMD2 decreases and ud2 increases, but at an extremely low rate within 558 <= RpJa(WevOh)1/7.
