Experimental and theoretical investigation of horizontal stratified and annular two phase flow with heat transfer

Thesis/Dissertation ·
OSTI ID:5210221
A mathematical model of stratified turbulent liquid/turbulent gas flow has been developed and put in the form of a design procedure for predicting pressure drop, holdup, and gas and liquid phase heat transfer coefficients. The model was tested against air-water data taken in a 63.5 mm I.D. tube. The experimental apparatus constructed is a marked improvement over previous systems used in similar studies. Experiments were extended into the annular regime and a tentative design procedure proposed for predicting heat transfer coefficients to the liquid film.
