Author: Annular Two-Phase Flow
Author: Geoffrey HewittPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483285235
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
Annular Two-Phase Flow presents the wide range of industrial applications of annular two-phase flow regimes. This book discusses the fluid dynamics and heat transfer aspects of the flow pattern. Organized into 12 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the classification of the various types of interface distribution observed in practice. This text then examines the various regimes of two-phase flow with emphasis on the regions of occurrence of the annular flow regime. Other chapters consider the single momentum and energy balances, which illustrate the differences and analogies between single- and two-phase flows. This book discusses as well the simple modes for annular flow with consideration to the calculation of the profile of shear stress in the liquid film. The final chapter deals with the techniques that are developed for the measurement of flow pattern, entrainment, and film thickness. This book is a valuable resource for chemical engineers.
The Slug-annular Flow Regime Transition at Elevated Pressure
Author: Peter GriffithPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Bubbles
Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
The annular slug flow regime has been investigated in vertical upflow without heating through the use of an electrical conductivity probe. The Teflon cladding and seals of the probe were found to work to at least 488 deg F. When the inlet velocity was sufficiently high, the quality at transition was found to be a constant for each pressure going from 8.6% at215 psia to 17.6% at 615 psia. No fully developed bubbly flow was observed.

Book Description
The purpose of this project is to provide better understanding of horizontal two-phase flow regime transitions through a flow visualization analysis and to provide a comprehensive two-phase flow frictional pressure loss analysis. The flow visualization study was performed using the large diameter horizontal test facility at the Advanced Multi-Phase Flow Laboratory at The Pennsylvania State University. Several flow conditions were analyzed ranging from superficial velocities of 0.1 to 9.45 m/s for the gas phase and 0.1 to 5.5 m/s for the liquid phase. These flow conditions contained multiple runs in each two-phase flow regime: bubbly, plug, slug, stratified, and stratified wavy. The annular flow regime could not be obtained due to limitations of the test facility. A horizontal two-phase flow regime map was generated from the results and compared to previous AMFL work using a small diameter facility in order to assess the effect of pipe size on flow regime transitional boundaries.The comprehensive frictional pressure loss analysis was performed by acquiring frictional pressure loss data from multiple sources including several experiments performed by the AMFL. Horizontal, vertical upward, and vertical downward two-phase flow orientations were analyzed separately due to the varying effects of gravity and buoyancy force on the flow. Several two-phase frictional pressure loss predictive models are analyzed for their accuracy at predicting the measured frictional pressure loss. These models include the Lockhart and Martinelli model that was modified by Chisholm and the - model. The predictive models used in the TRACE and RELAP nuclear reactor analysis codes are compared to the experimental data.
Two-Phase Gas-Liquid Flow in Pipes with Different Orientations
Author: Afshin J. GhajarPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030416267
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
This book provides design engineers using gas-liquid two-phase flow in different industrial applications the necessary fundamental understanding of the two-phase flow variables. Two-phase flow literature reports a plethora of correlations for determination of flow patterns, void fraction, two- phase pressure drop and non-boiling heat transfer correlations. However, the validity of a majority of these correlations is restricted over a narrow range of two -phase flow conditions. Consequently, it is quite a challenging task for the end user to select an appropriate correlation/model for the type of two-phase flow under consideration. Selection of a correct correlation also requires some fundamental understanding of the two-phase flow physics and the underlying principles/assumptions/limitations associated with these correlations. Thus, it is of significant interest for a design engineer to have knowledge of the flow patterns and their transitions and their influence on two-phase flow variables. To address some of these issues and facilitate selection of appropriate two-phase flow models, this volume presents a succinct review of the flow patterns, void fraction, pressure drop and non-boiling heat transfer phenomenon and recommend some of the well scrutinized modeling techniques.

Book Description
This is the second volume of Multiphase Science and TechnoJogy, a new international series of books intended to provide authoritative overviews of im portant areas in multiphase systems. The alm is to have systematic and tutorial presentations of the state of knowledge in various areas. The objective of the chapters is to allow the nonspecialist reader to gain an up-to-date idea of the present state of development in a given subject. The response to Volume 1 of the se ries has been very positive, and we believe that the present volume will be equally weil received. Volume 1 was concerned entirely with gas-liquid systems, and the first four chapters of the present volume also relate to such systems. However, the inten tion of the se ries is to cover a wide range of multiphase systems, and we are, therefore, pleased to include in the present volume chapters that refer to liquid liquid and gas-solid multiphase flows, respectively. The first chapter in the present volume is by Professor A. E. Dukler of the University of Houston, Texas, and Professor Y. Taitel of Tel-Aviv University, Israel.
