  • 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} = [\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}[1]
