The ejector was designed based on the constant rate of kinetic energy change (CRKEC) approach. The water vapor mixing diffuser profile and flow properties were calculated using a one-dimensional gas dynamic model. For the numerical investigation, the estimated geometrical profile based on the input design and operating conditions was utilized. ANSYS-Fluent 14.0 was em-ployed for the numerical study. The analysis was conducted under both on-design and off-design scenarios using the standard k-ε turbulence model. The impact of operating factors on flow behavior and entrainment ratios was investigated at off-design conditions. The findings demonstrated that the operational total pressures of the primary, secondary, and exit flows are a function of the two-stage ejector (TSE) entrainment ratio. With a higher exit pressure and more secondary/entrained flows, the entrain-ment ratio increases. However, altering the primary flow pressure in ways other than for the design conditions reduces the entrainment ratio.}, type={Article}, title={Numerical study on effect of operating pressures on CRKEC-based two-stage ejector}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/131264/16_AOT-00526-2023_SYADAV.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ather.2024.150448}, keywords={Ejector, Constant rate of kinetic energy change (CRKEC), Two-stage ejector (TSE), Jet-pump, Mixing-diffuser}, }
