摘要：

Steam jet condensation at low mass flux is important especially in start-up, shutdown or accident conditions of various applications. Visual experiments of steam–air submerged jets through horizontal pipe were conducted in the ranges of mass flux 0–––20 kg/m2s, air mass fraction 0–––0.02, and water temperature 20 − 80℃. In pure steam jets, three condensation regimes of no bubbling, intermittent bubbling, and continuous bubbling were identified in steam jets. In no bubbling regime, rolling up and billows of plane shear flow were observed. In intermittent bubbling regime, large bubble was generated, detached and collapsed intermittently, accompanied by fluid oscillations. The bubble forming frequency increased with the rise of water temperature. Condensation heat transfer coefficients tends to decrease as the steam mass flux increases. In continuous bubbling, fluid oscillation no longer occurred. The bubble forming frequency decreased with the rise of water temperature. Condensation heat transfer coefficients increase as the steam mass flux increases. In the cases with shallow submerged depth, air-entrained vortex, surface water jets, and splash were observed after bubble condensation. In steam–air jets, condensation became stable and small bubbles increased. The condensation regime transitioned from intermittent bubbling to continuous bubbling earlier. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
