Title: Droplet entrainment in vertical annular flow and its contribution to momentum transfer

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5136717

Simultaneous measurements were made of the size, axial and radial velocity of drops entrained by the gas in annular flow. A model is developed to use these data to compute the rate of deposition or entrainment and the pressure gradient, del p/sub E/, due to drop interchange. del p/sub E/ is a significant fraction of the measured total shear del p.
