Brief

Hagedorn and Brown is an empirical two-phase flow correlation published in 1965 [1].

It doesn't distinguish between the flow regimes.

The heart of the Hagedorn and Brown method is a correlation for the liquid holdup H_L[2].

Math & Physics

Following the law of conservation of energy the basic steady state flow equation is:

144 \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta h} = \bar \rho_m + \frac{f q_L^2 M^2}{2.9652 \times 10^{11} D^5 \bar \rho_m} + \bar \rho_m \frac{\Delta{(\frac{v_m^2}{2g_c}})}{\Delta h}[1]

where

\bar \rho_m = \rho_L H_L + \rho_g (1 - H_L)[1]

Colebrook–White [3] equation for the Darcy's friction factor:

\frac{1}{\sqrt{f}}= -2 \log \left( \frac { \varepsilon} {3.7 D} + \frac {2.51} {\mathrm{Re} \sqrt{f}} \right)[4]

Reynolds two phase number:

Re = 2.2 \times 10^{-2} \frac {q_L M}{D \mu_L^{H_L} \mu_g^{(1-H_L)}}[1]

Workflow

To find H_L calculate:

H = \frac{N_{LV}}{N_{GV}^{0.575}}\ \left ( \frac{p}{14.7} \right )^{0.1} \frac{CN_L}{N_D} [2]
\frac{H_L}{\psi} = \sqrt{\frac{0.0047+1123.32 H + 729489.64H^2}{1+1097.1566 H + 722153.97 H^2}} [6]

H_L = \frac{H_L}{\psi} \times \psi[1]
