Introduction
A non-equilibrium two-phase single-component critical (choked) flow
model for cryogenic fluids is developed from first principle
thermodynamics.
Modern equations-of-state (EOS) based upon the Helmholtz free
energy concepts are incorporated into the methodology.
Extensive validation of the model is provided with the NASA cryogenic
data tabulated for hydrogen, methane, nitrogen, and oxygen critical
flow experiments performed with four different nozzles.
The model is used to develop a hydrogen critical flow map for
stagnation states in the liquid and supercritical regions.
The model can be used to accurately calculate discharge mass flow
rates from high pressure reservoirs.

Assuming that the process is reversible and adiabatic (an isentropic process

for Tt and t, the exact critical flow state for the given stagnation condition is
obtained. The advantages of the HDE method over the HDI method are two:
1.A table of paired density-pressures need not be created, and
2.The local maximum mass flux need not be found using a search technique.
The HDE method, by solving system (21), directly determines the exact critical
mass flux condition.

The agreement is excellent between the HDE model and the NASA experiments for both critical mass
flux and ratio of throat to stagnation pressure. Note that the mass flux ratio is the effective discharge
coefficient for each of the individual nozzles. This discharge coefficient will be applied in the twophase analysis described below.

If one determines the temperature and density for each phase at the choke plane,
then the problem is solved. An analysis is presented below to determine those 4
properties.
The two-phase mass flux equation, derived from the conservation of energy, is a direct
extension of Eq. (16) with the enthalpy and specific volume states replace with twophase conditions

The two-phase extension of system (21) governing the two-phase critical flow
requires four equations in the four unknowns Tl, l, Tv, and v. This system is: (1)
the conservation of energy, (2) the conservation of entropy, ds = 0, (3) the vapor
component is saturated, and (4) both phases share the same pressure.

then the so called frozen mass flux or sound speed is defined, which for a
homogeneous two-phase mixture in mechanical and thermal equilibrium is the
maximum sound speed of the system. The task now is to find the derivative of
the quality with respect to pressure holding the system entropy constant. This
is accomplished by solving the system entropy in Eq. (22) for the quality

The sound speed (26), or the mass flux based sound speed (27), can be computed
knowing the four phasic unknowns of temperatures and densities along with Eqs
(28), (29), (34) and (35). The system of equations (24) is closed, and the details
are reviewed here

Note that the last two expressions are only used for convenience since they are
not independent relationships; and therefore are already in terms of the four
unknown variables.

The NASA cryogenic critical flow data [10,11] was used to validate the
non-equilibrium, two-phase, critical flow model described by the system (36).
The results are shown for hydrogen [10], methane [10], nitrogen [10,11],
and oxygen [11], respectively, in Figures 1-4. The calculated values have been
corrected with the discharge coefficient, the mass flux ratio, given in Table 2.
In each Figure, a T-S diagram insert is included to display the analyzed stagnation
conditions. The computed results appear to be consistently greater than the
measured mass fluxes; but in the overall, the solution of system (36) provides very
good agreement with the experimental data.

Conclusions
A homogeneous non-equilibrium, two-phase, critical flow model, the
homogeneous direct evaluation model (HDE), has been developed from first
principal thermodynamics and modern equation-of-state formulations.
The model has been validated with extensive cryogenic data involving liquid and
supercritical hydrogen, methane, nitrogen, and oxygen. A critical discharge flow
map for hydrogen is presented that allows the reader a straightforward procedure
to determine critical mass fluxes for a range of stagnation conditions.
