Assumptions:
1. The ejector entrance part (mixing chamber) is “actuated” and a shock wave is established in the
cylindrical section of the entrance having the same diameter as the entrance itself.
2. The velocity of two‐phase flow at the entrance is equal to the motive fluid velocity at its exit
from the nozzle.
3. Any losses due to friction are equal to zero.
4. The two‐phase fluid at the ejector channel entrance is perfectly homogenized and velocity is the
same in each part of the superficial flow pattern.
5. The ejector geometry (nozzles and feed chamber diameter, linear dimensions, etc.) are perfectly
designed and fabrication is done with high enough accuracy without defects.
3. Number of Channels
The number of channels could be counted by visual inspection through access to the feed chamber, and
perhaps by using a portable mirror to ensure the result.
4. Throat Diameter
If the channel is other than type “B” or “E” (see Sketch‐1), it is desired to take the smaller section
diameter measurement. It could be taken from the ejector outlet nozzle side by using conical wooden
painted plug, by carefully inserting this plug through the post‐ejector section into the throat and then
extracting it back. The marks on the paint can be measured by caliper and it will indicate approximate
diameter of the smallest section.
A plug would not be needed if channel is “C” type. Then throat internal diameter could be measured
from the ejector outlet nozzle directly.
5. Motive Fluid Pressure and Flow
It is important to have motive fluid operating pressure and flow at each ejector inlet.
