Influence geometry of the pipeline at the stability of steam-water flow during the exploitation of a geo-power station

Cases of flow instability caused by the influence of gravitational forces in pipelines of steam-water mixture in geothermal fields are investigated. A new mathematical model of the steam-water flow was developed by authors, taking into account the gravitational effect and satisfying new requirements in the development of geothermal deposits with two-phase heat carrier transportation. The influence of the pipeline incline at the gravitational stability of the flow is shown. Recommendations on hydraulic calculation and construction of steamwater mixture pipelines are given.
