Abstract

Experimental data for the void fraction and two-phase frictional pressure drop from various sources has been compiled and analyzed. The experimental data revealed that at the lower range of superficial gas velocity and void fraction, the variations of the two-phase frictional pressure drop with superficial gas velocity and void fraction are relatively flat. However, as the superficial gas velocity and void fraction increase to higher values, the frictional pressure drop became significantly sensitive to the two parameters. In a situation when the two-phase pressure drop is sensitive to the variation of the void fraction, it is then that the proper and accurate characterization of the void fraction becomes significant. From the experimental data, regions where the pressure drop is sensitive to the variation of the void fraction are identified and evaluated.
