Pressure Drop Fluctuations in Periodically Fluctuating Pipe Flow

Experiments were conducted to study characteristics of flow when flow is fluctuating.The experimental results showed a phase difference between the flow rate and the pressure drop fluctuations.This phase difference between the fluctuating flow rate and pressure drop was analyzed for laminar flow.Analysis showed that the phase difference changes with the period of the flow fluctuation, the pipe radius, the density and the dynamic viscosity of the liquid.Fluctuating pipe flow was then numerically simulated.Results of the numerical simulation were compared with theoretical values and experimental results.It was shown that, when the flow rate fluctuates with time as a sine wave, the pressure drop fluctuates with the same periodicity, and there is a phase difference between them.

Measurement and Correlation of Pressure Drop for Gas-Liquid Two-phase Flow in Rectangular Microchannels

The pressure drop of gas-liquid two-phase flow in microchannel is of fundamental importance in heat and mass transfer processes. In this work,the pressure drop of gas-liquid two-phase flow in horizontal rectangular cross-section microchannels was measured by a pressure differential transducer system. Water,ethanol and n-propanol were used as liquid phase to study the effects of capillary number on pressure drop;air was used as the gas phase. Four microchannels with various dimensions of 100 μm× 200 μm,100 μm× 400 μm,100 μm× 800 μm and 100 μm× 2000 μm(depth × width) were used for determining the influence of configuration on the pressure drop. Experimental results showed that in micro-scale,the capillary number also affected the pressure drop remarkably,and in spite of only one-fold difference in aspect ratio,the variation of pressure drop reached up to near three times under the same experimental conditions. Taking the effects of aspect ratio and surface tension into account,a modi-fied correlation for Chisholm parameter C in the Chisholm model was proposed for predicting the frictional multi-plier,and the predicted values by the proposed correlation showed a satisfactory agreement with experimental data.

Pressure Drop of Non-Newtonian Liquid Flow Through Elbows

Experimental data on the pressure drop across different types of elbow for non-Newtonian pseudoplastic liquid flow in laminar condition have been presented. A generalized correlation has been developed for predicting the frictional pressure drop across the elbows in the horizontal plane.

Modeling the pressure drop of wet gas in horizontal pipe

A model for gas–liquid annular and stratified flow through a horizontal pipe is investigated, using the two-phase hydrokinetics theory. Taking into consideration the flow factors including the void fraction, the friction between the two phases and the entrainment in the gas core, the one-dimensional momentum equation for gas has been solved. The differential pressure of the wet gas between the two tapings in the straight pipe has been modeled in the pressure range of 0.1–0.8 MPa. In addition a more objective iteration approach to determine the local void fraction is proposed. Compared with the experimental data, more than 83% deviation of the test data distributed evenly within the band of ± 10%. Since the model is less dependent on the specific empirical apparatus and data,it forms the foundation for further establishing a flow measurement model of wet gas which will produce fewer biases in results when it is extrapolated.

Two Phase Pressure Drop Performance of Refrigerant in a Small Horizontal Smooth Tube with 2.5 mm inside Diameter

Two-phase flow pressure drop measurements were made during the phase change heat transfer process of R22 in a small horizontal smooth tube with 2.5 mm inside diameter. Conclusions can be drawn that the quality corresponding to the pressure gradient peak value of small tubes became higher than that of large tubes. The effect of quality to pressure drop becomes weak as the mass flux increases. The experiment data were compared with the predicated values of the state-of-the-art correlations from the open literature. The comparisons between the data and the predictions indicate that most of the state-of-the-art correlations fails to predict the experimental data. Chisholm model shows a relatively better predictive ability than the other empirical correlations although it has a mean deviation of 26.7%. But the predicated values of Chisholm model are lower by 50% than the experimental data when the quality becomes larger.

Cooling of Superheated Refrigerants Flowing inside Tubes Filled with Porous Media： Study of Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop, Carbon Dioxide Case Study

In this work an experimental study combined with an analytical investigation for cooling superheated Carbon Dioxide （CO2） gas were carried out. This work is intended to be part of the super critical Gustav Lorentzen refrigeration cycle of CO2. Experimental and analytical works concentrated on heat transfer and pressure drop for single phase flow during gas cooling inside tubes filled with porous media. Analytical empirical correlations were formulated for the coefficient of convectional heat transfer and for the pressure drop. A comparison between experimental results and that obtained by developed correlations were carried out, and a comparison between these results and literature published ones were carried out too. The results of this research showed that for cooling process the proposed correlations were proved to be acceptably accurate for pressure drop with difference from experimental results of 2%, while for convective heat transfer the difference from experimental results reached about 3%. More than 90% agreement with literature results was obtained. This work can enhance the calculations of heat flux and pressure drop of gases flow inside porous media filled tubes, and can help in the design procedure of heat exchangers and cooling processes.

Experimental Study for Pressure Drop of Viscoelastic Fluids through Periodically Sudden Converging－Diverging Tube

The purpose of this work is to investigate experimentally the pressure drop of drag-reducing polymer solutions in the fully developed flow region in a periodically sudden converging-diverging tube as well as in a straight tube.Testing fluids were aqueous polyacrylamide solutions with concentration ranged from 200 to 1400 w.p.p.m.,and the Reynolds number ranged from 5 x 103 to 7 x 104.Drag-reducing phenomenon is found to exist in the straight tube flow with the viscoelastic fluid,while in the periodically sudden converging-diverging tube the friction factor is insensitive to the concentration of solution
