Influence of non-circular nozzle geometry on axis-switching and condensation in superheated steam jets

Key Points

• Axis-switching occurs in superheated steam jets with non-circular nozzle geometry, influencing performance.
• Key evidence shows significant effects on condensation rates due to geometric variations in the nozzle design.
• Observational analysis of jet dynamics highlights the thermal properties of superheated steam under different configurations.
• Findings suggest that optimizing nozzle shapes may enhance efficiency in applications using steam jets.
