Two-phase nozzles, in which the phase transition process takes place, can work in jet superchargers for various  purposes,  including  jet  thermal pumps (steam-water injectors) and thermal compressors. In such schemes of thermal transformers, the ejector performs the function of a preliminary compression stage in order to reduce the load on the compression  of  the working substance in the main compressor. The use of fluxes of boiling liquid as energy-efficient working fluids is inhibited due to the lack of a reliable description of the mechanism of their flow. Finding the dependence of the steam content on the pressure and temperature at the nozzle exit  will  make  it  possible to  determine the variant  of  the initial  parameters at which the overproduction of steam will be greatest. It is also worth determining the change in the velocity factor, as well as the change  in  the  thrust  of  the nozzle in the studied range of parameters, in order to find out  whether  the pressure at the nozzle outlet is a determining factor when choosing the design parameters of the nozzles. The article proposes to investigate the boiling streams in such nozzles by the method of mathematical modeling using a model that takes into account the relaxation nature of vaporization. The study used a compressible  two-phase medium model, a kinetic model of evaporation / condensation. The model also takes into account  the dynamic and mechanical  equilibrium of  the process  of  evaporation-condensation. The calculations were performed using an Ansys CFX  commercial  CFD  product. The value of the mean square relative error of pressure measurement does not exceed 0,119%. The average discrepancy between the obtained data between the mathematical model and the field experiment does not exceed 3%.
