Research Objective• Characterize the performance of two-phase (vapor-
liquid) flow through an ejector.
• Current models assume single phase (liquid or gas) flow.
• Two-phase flow is difficult to model
• Engineers typically rely on correlations from experimental data

Experimental Procedure
• Gather data at different two-phase flow conditions for varying geometries within the ejector

Experimental Procedure
• Change the geometry of the ejector• Set the motive fluid flow• Vary the gas to liquid ratio in the suction by
varying power to the heater• Data is collected using Labview

Data Interpretation
• Plots made by dumping data from Labview to Excel and Matlab

Real World Applications
• Replacement of typical pumps that have moving parts with more passive and reliable ejector pumps
• Applications with a need for air conditioning in low power areas such as an airplane on the runway or a vehicle in space (no electrically driven pump)
• Utilize benefits of two phase flow
