Title: Effect of Pressure on Flow Parameters in Horizontal Gas-Liquid Two-Phase Plug Flow.

In this study the pressure in the closed-loop system was changed from 0.3 to 20MPa at a constant fluid temperature on horizontal flow. The point of disappearance of the liquid slug, mean lengths of gas and liquid slugs, and the frequency distributions of gas and liquid slug lengths were measured to investigate the characteristics of plug flow. The approximate experimental equation for the mean length of the gas slug and the point of disappearance of the liquid slug is presented.Read More
