ADIABATIC DISPERSED TWO-PHASE FLOW: FURTHER RESULTS ON THE INFLUENCE OF PHYSICAL PROPERTIES ON PRESSURE DROP AND FILM THICKNESS. Topical Report No. 6
A discussion is given of the experimental data obtained at CISE on two- phase adiabatic flow under the following conditions: vertical upward (dispersed regime) flow; circular conduit (15 to 25 mm diameter); gaseous phase argon or nitrogen; liquid phase water or ethyl alcohol-water solution (,90% by wt. of alcohol); gas fiow rate of 15 to 82 g/ cm/sup 2/; liquid flow rate of 20 to 208 g/ cm/sup 2/ sec; temperature of 18 to 20 deg C; pressure of up to approximates 22 kg/cm/sup 2/. The measured quantities are pressure drop and liquid film thickness on the wall of the conduit. The pressure loss and film flow rate are evaluated. The experimental data are discussed and the influence of surface tension and gas and liquid viscosity investigated. A simple relationship for the pressure loss over a wide range of experimental conditions in adiabatic dispersed regime is given. (auth)
