In the main fuel pipe (main nozzle) of the carburetor of a gasoline engine, a little air is let into the fuel stream, in general, in the venturi-tube as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
In the main fuel pipe (main nozzle) of the carburetor of gasoline engine, a little air is let into the fuel stream, in general. This two-phase flow streams into the venturi-tube. The author's experiments are made with simple models to elucidate the basic phenomena of the confluence of air and fuel in a small tube, that is, the flow pattern of a two-phase flow, the pressure drop caused by the confluence, the two-phase flow friction, and the relaxation oscillation. In 1st Report, experimental apparatus and flow pattern are described. Vertical tubes are 6, 3, 2 mm of diameter. Liquid is tap water in the most part of experiments, and in some part of them, is distilled water, gasoline, solvent, or surface active agents solution, Unless the air holes are large, stable fish-scale type slug flow appears in some range of air and liquid. This is attributed not to the effect of so-called entrance length but to that of the small diameter of tube.read more

Characteristics of gas-liquid two-phase flow in a capillary tube
Tohru Fukano,Akira Kariyasaki +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated gas-liquid two-phase phenomena in capillary tubes with special attention on the flow patterns, the time varying void fraction and pressure loss, and showed that the flow pattern is not severely affected by the direction of flow, the smaller the pipe inner diameter, the easier the formation of liquid slug and the pressure loss in a unit length takes much larger than the estimated value by the Chisholm equation.

Flow pattern in horizontal and vertical two phase flow in small diameter pipes
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of surface tension on flow pattern transition for gas liquid flow in small diameter tubes (4 to 12 mm) was investigated and compared with previously published models for horizontal and vertical flows considered to be valid for medium and large diameter pipes.

The effect of tube diameter on vertical two-phase flow regimes in small tubes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated flow boiling flow patterns in four circular tubes with internal diameters of 1.10, 2.88 and 4.26mm in vertical upward two-phase flow using R134a as the working fluid.

Flow boiling and flow regimes in small diameter tubes
TL;DR: In this paper, two stainless steel tubes of internal diameter 426 and 201 mm were experimentally investigated using R134a as the working fluid, and it was found that the nucleate boiling is dominant when the vapour quality is less than about 40-50% for the 426 mm tube and 20-30 % for the 201 mm tube.

Two-phase flow in microchannels
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the literature dealing with gas-liquid two-phase flow in microchannels is presented, where the hydrodynamic phenomena reviewed include void fraction and frictional pressure drop in narrow rectangular and annular passages, a micro-rod bundle, and micro-channel under conditions where surface tension and inertial forces are both significant.
