Abstract

The equations for the conservation of momentum and mass were solved numerically for the region downstream from the exit of an axial jet into a confined annular stream of the same fluid. An implicit, alternating direction method was used. Numerical results were obtained for radius ratios of 0.281, 0.470, and 0.563 over a range of jet‐to‐annular velocities from 0.85 to 2.77. The values for the limiting case of the entrance region in pipe flow are in good agreement with the values of Christiansen and Lemmon and Ventras, Duda, and Bargeron. Solution of the equations for the conservation of chemical components produced results for component transfer in agreement with the experimental compositions obtained by Wood for jet mixing. Representative calculations were carried out for a chemical reaction. The results indicate the efficiency of the mixing process for this type of reactor.

Experiments were carried out with water and dye to define the conditions under which the assumption of steady, laminar jet mixing is valid. The experiments also indicated the conditions and location of turbulent breakup of the jet.
