Geothermal Two-phase Flow in Horizontal Pipes
This paper reanalysed the 255 sets of geothermal two-phase flow data of Freeston et al (1983). A new void fraction correlation is proposed in this paper. The new correlation is derived from the analysis of two-phase flow velocity distribution using the Seventh Power Law as: To predict the two-phase pressure drop, an equivalent pseudosingle-phase flow having the same boundary layer velocity dist...
متن کاملPressure Drop Characteristics of Bi-Modal Slurry at Medium Concentration in Straight Horizontal Pipes
In the present study, pressure drop have been measured for narrow sized silica sand slurry and bimodal slurry consisting of narrow sized silica sand and fly ash as fine particles in different proportions keeping the overall efflux concentration same using a pilot plant test loop. The pressure drop has been measured over a length of 4.0 m in 50 mm NB diameter pipe line for fully developed flow. ...
متن کاملA Dynamic Simulation of Annular Multiphase Flow during Deep-water Horizontal Well Drilling and the Analysis of Influential Factors
A gas kick simulation model for deep-water horizontal well with diesel-based drilling fluid is presented in this paper. This model is mainly based on the mass, momentum, and energy conservation equations. The unique aspect of this model is the fluid-gas coupling and the change of mud properties after the gas influx from the formation. The simulation results show that the gas in an annulus disso...
متن کاملVibroacoustical Energy Flow through Straight Pipes
At lower relative (i.e., non-dimensional) frequencies, four propagating waves exist in fluid-filled pipes. Each of these waves carries energy in the pipe wall, while three waves carry energy in the fluid as well. The otherwise fairly complex dispersion laws for waves in pipes simplify in the frequency region considered to simple rodand beam-type laws. It is shown that these laws can be determin...
متن کاملRecent progress in CFD modelling of multiphase flow in horizontal and near-horizontal pipes
Computer simulations of two-phase gas-liquid pipe flow cases have been performed with the commercial code STAR-CD using the VOF method and the results are illustrated in this paper. Computed pressure losses for stratified flow and stratified-wavy flow and time-averaged liquid levels are compared against measured data, showing good agreement with the experimental data. To achieve these results, ...
