Abstract
A method of reducing flow metastability in a liquid refrigerant in an ejector nozzle by generating dispersed bubbles in the flow entering the nozzle by first forming relatively large bubbles and then breaking them down into small finely dispersed bubbles, so as to reduce the density of the flowing mixture and provide nucleation sites allowing control of flow rate and causing the mixture to expand in substantial thermodynamic equilibrium with maximum nozzle velocity.
