  • Analytical/quasi-analytical solutions are proposed for a steady, compressible, two-phase flow in mechanical equilibrium in a rectilinear duct subjected to heating followed by cooling. The flow is driven by the pressure ratio between a variable outlet pressure and an upstream tank. A critical pressure ratio distinguishes subsonic and supersonic outlet regimes: the article proposes a methodology to determine the full flow behaviour, as a function of pressure ratio and heat-flux distribution. Going forward, these analytical reference solutions will help validate numerical codes for more complex industrial applications. Specific results are studied for a mixture of liquid water and water vapour.
