A two-phase nozzle having a converging diverging configurations is equipped with a flow divider at its inlet. The flow divider is arranged to act upon an incoming flow of two-phase liquid to break the liquid phase into finely divided droplets which are directed into the nozzle entrance region so that minimum contact is made with the inside wall of the nozzle. The finely divided droplets are thus thoroughly dispersed in the gas phase of the mixture producing maximum acceleration of the fluid through the nozzle.

Apparatus for increasing the acceleration of a two-phase working substance through a nozzle that includes a two-phase nozzle having an entrance for receiving a flow of a two-phase working substance and expanding the working substance to a lower pressure to convert at least a portion of the energy in the flow to kinetic energy, a flow divider connected to the entrance of said nozzle for directing said two-phase working substance into said nozzle, said flow divider having means for separating the liquid phase of the working substance in the flow from the gas phase and dispersing the liquid phase into finely divided droplets, and said flow divider further including means for directing the droplets inwardly toward the central axis of the nozzle.
