Abstract
The paper describes a steam circuit for studies of nucleation and behaviour of wet steam. The test section is a duct of rectangular cross-section in which particular geometries are produced by fitting shaped profiles to its sides. To deliver steam to the test section, at required conditions, a turbine, cooler and superheater are included in the circuit. The experimental results presented are concerned with the variations of Wilson point as a function of pressure. Comparisons are made with the results of a theoretical treatment already published (1)‡ and agreement is shown to be good.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
