observed as a gas-liquid mixture flows in a conduit but the net liquid flow rate is zero. Investigation on the liquid
holdup of ZNLF is conducted in a vertical ten-meter tube with diameter of 76 mm, both for Newtonian and non
Newtonian fluids. The gas phase is air. The Newtonian fluid is water and the non-Newtonian fluids are water-based
guar gel solutions. The correlations developed for predicting liquid holdup on the basis of Lockhart-Martinelli
parameter are not suitable to ZNLF. A constitutive correlation for the liquid holdup of vertical ZNLF was put
forward by using the mass balance. It is found that the liquid holdup in ZNLF is dependent on both the gas flow
rate and the flow distribution coefficient.展开更多
