Nonlinear analysis on fluctuation feature of two-phase flow through a T-junction
TL;DR: In this paper, several measurement methods of chaos dynamics were employed to analyze differential pressure fluctuations of two-phase flow through a T-junction with the aim to make clear the twophase flow behavior splitting at a Tjunction.

Controlling the phase separation of gas–liquid flows at horizontal T-junctions
TL;DR: In this article, the phase split that occurs naturally at T-junctions has been further enhanced to provide a viable partial gas-liquid separator, and a simple active control strategy is proposed on the basis of two control valves, one associated with an automatic level control, the other optimizing liquid residence time.

Two-phase split of refrigerants at a T-junction
Sang-Jin Tae,Keumnam Cho +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the two-phase flow split of refrigerants at a T-junction and compared the measured data with the values predicted by the models developed for airwater or steam-water mixture in the literature.

Affecting the phase split at a large diameter T-junction by using baffles
E. Wren,Barry J. Azzopardi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, inserts placed at the junction were seen to either enhance the partial phase separation occurring at the T-junction or promote a more equal flow split between the two downstream arms.

Gas–liquid two-phase flow splitting at microchannel junctions with different branch angles
TL;DR: In this paper, the phase split at microchannel junctions with the square cross-section of 0.5×0.5mm 2 was investigated experimentally under adiabatic condition.

A flow pattern map for gas—liquid flow in horizontal pipes
TL;DR: Govier and Aziz as mentioned in this paper used flow pattern maps for two-phase gas-liquid flow in horizontal pipes and compared them with the 5935 flow pattern observations currently contained in the UC Multiphase Pipe Flow Data Bank.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase separation in dividing two-phase flows
TL;DR: In this paper, phase separation in dividing T- and Y-junctions was investigated experimentally and analytically, and a phenomenological model was developed which was based on the idea of dividing streamlines in which centrifugal and interfacial drag forces were assumed to be dominant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-phase flow splitting in a tee junction—experiment and modelling
TL;DR: In this article, a model for predicting two-phase flow splitting in a horizontal pipe tee for the stratified wavy and annular flow patterns is presented based on a splitting mechanism which suggests that the preferential liquid flow is controlled by competing inertial and centripetal forces acting on the liquid phase at the tee junction.

The analysis of phase separation phenomena in branching conduits
Nematollah Saba,Richard T. Lahey +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, phase separation phenomena in a two-phase (air/water) mixture flowing through a plexiglas tee test section was measured, and it was found that for low inlet flow qualities (≤1%) the degree of phase separation was quite pronounced, with the gas phase preferentially separating into the branch.
