- 2. Why study two-phase flows? Example: Dead water Phenomenon 1893 Fridtjof Nansen Occurs when fresh water rests on dense salt water Much of the energy results in waves and turbulence of interface Reduce in traveling speed by 80% If V>Vcritical Then the phenomenon disappears 2
- 3. Two-phase Flow-Patterns Flow pattern definition: Various gas-liquid interfacial geometric configurations in two- phase flow systems. The physical mechanisms controlling two-phase pressure drops and heat transfer coefficients are intrinsically related to the local flow patterns Vertical tubes Flow-patterns : 3 Increasing Vg
- 4. Two-phase Flow-Patterns Horizontal Tube Flow-patterns : 4 Stratified : Small Vg & VL Increasing both Vg & VL : Wavy Increased VL but small Vg : Plug, If bubbles are small : Dispersed Bubble Plug + Increase Vg : Slug Slug + Increase Vg : Annular and then Mist Different Conditions, Different Flows :

- 7. Diabatic Two-Phase Flows Condensation in Horizontal Tube : 7 Condensation film forms Annular flow in the entrance As condensation continues, the vapor velocity falls At high flow rates, slug and bubble flows are eventually reached At low flow rates large magnitude waves and then stratified flow are formed.

- 8. Flow Pattern Maps To predict local flow patterns, two-phase flow-pattern maps are used. Mostly developed for adiabatic conditions First paper published in 1950 Two categories : 1. Empirical Flow-Pattern Maps The Baker, Hewitt & Roberts, … 2. Theoretical Flow-Pattern Maps Taitel and Dukler, … 8
- 9. Flow Pattern Maps The Baker flow-pattern map for horizontal gas-liquid cocurrent flow. 9 The Hewitt and Roberts flow-pattern map for vertical upward gas-liquid cocurrent flow Based on observations of cocurrent flow of gaseous and condensate petroleum products in horizontal pipes.
