✦ Synopsis
A turbulent jet induced by steam jet condensation in a water pool was investigated experimentally. An experimental apparatus equipped with a steam boiler, a single-hole steam sparger, and a water pool, etc. was used. For the measurements, a pitot tube and thermocouples were used for turbulent flow velocity and temperatures, respectively. Overall flow shapes of the turbulent jet by the steam jet condensation are similar to those of axially symmetric turbulent jet flows. The angular coefficients of turbulent rays are quantitatively comparable between the traditional turbulent jet flows and the turbulent jet flows induced by the steam jet condensation in this work. Although the turbulent flows were induced by the steam jet condensation, general theory of turbulent jets was found to be applicable to the turbulent flows of this work.
