The effect of pipe diameter on the structure of gas/liquid flow in vertical pipes

Experimental work on two-phase vertical upward flow was carried out using a 19 mm internal diameter, 7 m long pipe and studying the time series of cross-sectional average void fractions and pressure gradient which were obtained simultaneously. With the aid of a bank of published data in which the pi...

description Experimental work on two-phase vertical upward flow was carried out using a 19 mm internal diameter, 7 m long pipe and studying the time series of cross-sectional average void fractions and pressure gradient which were obtained simultaneously. With the aid of a bank of published data in which the pipe diameter is the range from 0.5 to 70 mm, the effect of pipe diameter on flow characteristics of two-phase flow is investigated from various aspects. Particularly, the work focuses on the periodic structures of two-phase flow. Average film thicknesses and the gas flow rate where slug/churn and churn/annular flow transitions occur all increase as the diameter of the pipe becomes larger. On the other hand, the pressure gradients, the frequencies of the periodic structures and the velocities of disturbance waves decrease. The velocity of disturbance waves has been used to test the model of Pearce (1979). It is found that the suggested value of Pearce coefficient 0.8 is reasonable for lower liquid flow rates but becomes insufficient for higher liquid flow rates.
