The flow of two-phase mixtures through restrictions. is a complex
phenomenon that to date has not been fully described analytically.
It is an area that received a geat deal of attention because of its
application to nuclear reactor technology. The majority of the work
done in this area considered ideal geometries such as nozzles,
orifices and straight pipes. In the area of control valves very
little work has been done. Brockett & King [1] studied
subcooled water. Stiles [2] looked at subcooled freon. Martinec [4]
compared subcooled freon in valves with ideal geometries. Sheldon
& Schuder [3) looked experimentally at airjwater mixtures
through valves that resulted in a sizing procedure. Fagerlund [10]
presented an analytical model that required use of the Sheldon
& Schuder data to establish the behavior of valves as opposed
to more ideal geometries. However, the data used was limited to a
single valve travel. Fagerlund & Storer [11] have expanded this
to include several valve travels that further generalizes the
technique. It is the intent of this paper to summarize a practical
approach to s1z1ng valves for two-phase service that may be reduced
to either a graphical or calculator procedure. Discussion of
Analysis A fundamental assumption in this method is that the
quality remains constant between the inlet and the vena contracta.
For gas-liquid flows it is obvious providing vaporization does not
occur.
