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

144 \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta h} = [\rho_g H_g + \rho_L (1-H_g)] + \rho_m \frac{f v_m^2 }{2 g_c D} + \rho_m \frac{\Delta{(\frac{v_m^2}{2g_c}})}{\Delta h}

Colebrook–White ^[2] 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)

^[3]

Reynolds two phase number:

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

To find H_g calculate:
