Brief

  • The boundary between the bubble and slug flow[1]

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 + \rho_m \frac{f v_m^2 }{2 g_c D} + \rho_m \frac{\Delta{(\frac{v_m^2}{2g_c}})}{\Delta h}[1]

where

\bar \rho_m = \rho_L (1-H_g) + \rho_g H_g, slip mixture density
\rho_m = \rho_L C_L + \rho_g (1-C_L) , no-slip mixture density

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)}}

Discussion

Workflow Hg

N_V = 453.592\ \frac{{\rho_m}^2 {v_m}^4}{g_c \sigma_L (\rho_L - \rho_g)} [1]
N_D = 453.592\ \frac{g_c (\rho_L - \rho_g) D^2}{\sigma_L }
R = \frac{v_{SL}}{v_{SG}}
B = 0.0814 \left ( 1 - 0.554\ \ln \left (1 + \frac{730 R}{R+1} \right ) \right )
A = -2.2314 \left ( N_V \left (1 + \frac{205}{N_D} \right ) \right )^B
H_g = \frac{1-e^A}{R+1}

Workflow ε'

\varepsilon' = \begin{cases} \frac{28.5}{453.592} \frac{\sigma_L}{\rho_m v_m^2}, &\mbox{if } R >= 0.007 \\ \varepsilon + R \frac{\varepsilon'-\varepsilon}{0.0007}, & \mbox{if } R < 0.007 \end{cases} [1]

with the limit \varepsilon' \geqslant 2.77 \times 10^{-5}
