A MACROSCOPIC THEORY OF TWO-PHASE FLOW WITH MASS, MOMENTUM AND ENERGY EXCHANGE

Abstract

A macroscopic theory of two-phase flow with mass, momentum and energy exchange is discussed. The theory is applied to the study of systems which depart only slightly from local thermodynamic equilibrium. An example of wave propagation in a two-phase medium with viscous and thermal relaxation is calculated. It confirms some of the predictions of previous research where a thermodynamic analysis was carried out.
