Computational modeling and experimental investigation of aqueous potassium carbonate droplets in superheated steam flow

The paper describes a computational study and an experimental investigation of aqueous potassium carbonate droplets in superheated steam flow for potential applications in mitigation of superheated geothermal steam. The computational model included the boiling point elevation due to the droplet salt concentration as well as other concentration-dependent physical properties of the salt solution. Various phenomena involved in the process, such as...
