Some characteristics of gas-liquid flow in narrow rectangular ducts

TLDR
In this paper, the authors measured void fraction, slug bubble velocity, and pressure loss for rectangular ducts with a narrow gap and a large aspect ratio using the neutron radiography technique, and the void fraction was well-correlated by the drift flux model with the existing correlation for the distribution parameter.

Some characteristics of air-water two-phase flow in small diameter vertical tubes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured air-water flows in capillary tubes with inner diameters in the range from 1 to 4 mm and found that the boundary between flow regimes was predicted well by Mishima-Ishii's model.

Pressure drop correlations for two-phase flow within horizontal rectangular channels with small heights

TL;DR: In this article, the two-phase frictional multiplier was expressed using the Lockhart-Martinelli type correlation but with the modification on parameter C. The correlations with the modified C successfully cover wide ranges of the Martinelli parameter (X=0.303-79.4) and the all-liquid Reynolds number (ReLo=175-17700) based on the hydraulic diameter within the deviation of ±10%.

Heat transfer correlation for boiling flows in small rectangular horizontal channels with low aspect ratios

TL;DR: In this paper, a correlation is proposed to represent the heat transfer coefficients of the boiling flows through horizontal rectangular channels with low aspect ratios, where the gap between the upper and lower plates of each channel ranges from 0.4 to 2 mm.

Two-phase flow, boiling and condensation in conventional and miniature systems

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals and applications of flow and heat transfer in conventional and miniature systems is provided, providing a comprehensive review of single-phase flow fundamentals and interfacial phenomena, detailed and clear discussion is provided on a range of topics, including two-phase hydrodynamics and flow regimes, mathematical modeling of gas-liquid 2-phase flows, pool and flow boiling, flow and boiling in mini and microchannels, external and internal-flow condensation with and without noncondensables, condensation in small flow passages, and two-

One-dimensional drift-flux model and constitutive equations for relative motion between phases in various two-phase flow regimes

TL;DR: In this article, the kinematic constitutive equation for the drift velocity has been studied for various two-phase flow regimes, and a comparison of the model with various experimental data over various flow regimes and a wide range of flow parameters shows a satisfactory agreement.

Two-phase flow in vertical noncircular channels

TL;DR: In this paper, experiments have been performed for vertical two-phase flow of air-water mixtures through several noncircular channels, and the results for rising velocity of large gas bubble and mean void fraction are also discussed.
