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]

The pseudo wall roughness:

\varepsilon' = \begin{cases} \frac{28.5}{453.592} \frac{\sigma_L}{\rho_m v_m^2}, &\mbox{if } R \geqslant 0.007 \\ \varepsilon + R \frac{\varepsilon'-\varepsilon}{0.0007}, & \mbox{if } R < 0.007 \end{cases} , with the limit \varepsilon' \geqslant 2.77 \times 10^{-5}[1]

Reynolds two phase number:

Re = 2.2 \times 10^{-2} \frac {q_L M}{D \mu_L^{C_L} \mu_g^{(1-C_L)}}[4]
