Liquid holdup correlations for inclined two-phase flow
Journal Article
·
· J. Pet. Technol.; (United States)
Liquid holdup behavior in two-phase inclined flow was studied in an inclined pipe-flow simulator. Two sets of empirical equations, one each for uphill and downhill flow, are presented. For downhill stratified flow, a third equation is presented. The liquid holdup equations are functions of dimensionless liquid and gas velocity numbers in addition to liquid viscosity number and angle of inclination. These four parameters uniquely define the flow-pattern transitions in inclined two-phase flow. Consequently, the holdup equations are also implicitly flow-pattern dependent.
