Abstract
The temperature fields in the center plane of a channel with a square cross-section have been measured. Stearn injected at relatively low mass fluxes through a small hole in one of the walls of the channel condensed intermittently in a small area close to the inlet. The upstream temperature of the liquid cross-flow, TL, the momentum ratio, J, and the Prandtl number proved to be important for the single-phase temperature field induced in the jet further away from the
steam inlet. Jet centerlines of velocity and temperature are measured and positions are compared. Different locations for J <100 and low TL are explained from dependencies on
Reynolds and Prandtl numbers. Next to the jet centerline a second high-temperature zone was found to occur, close to the wall and downstream of the steam inlet.
The importance of capillary forces is investigated with the aid of 3D CFD computations.
