Chemical Corrosion Damage in Adiabatic Expansions
A sudden change in a flow passage—typically an increase in cross-sectional area—can cause water pressure to fall rapidly below the saturation pressure at its temperature, producing instantaneous vaporization. Expansion and Flashing Because the process is approximately adiabatic, there is no external heat exchange and total enthalpy remains essentially constant. Part of the liquid flashes into
