Effect of Fabri choking on the performance of two-phase jet pumps

Abstract

This paper explores two-phase flow through a supersonic jet pump with a constant-area mixing chamber. This work is a continuation of previous work which considered supersonic, two-phase flow through a jet pump with a constant-pressure mixing chamber. Also considered is the possibility of a phenomenon known as Fabri choking, in which the secondary fluid reaches sonic velocity in the mixing chamber, before mixing with the primary fluid.
