The drift flux model consists of four partial differential equations: continuity equation for one phase (usually the gas) and three conservation equations for the mixture (continuity, momentum and energy). The equations are solved for the following independent variables: G, the mixture mass flux; C, the in siru gas concentration in the mixture; P, the mixture pressure and H, the mixture enthalpy. Note that other alternatives are also possible; for example, to formulate the equations in terms of the mixture velocity, Us (instead of mass flux, G) and the mixture void fraction, « (instead of the mixture gas concentration, C). The drift flux model requires an empirical input for the slip between the two fluids. This may be given by the drift flux, the drift velocity, the diffusion velocity, the slip velocity or the slip ratio (see Chapter 2), 1. Continuity of the Mixture The continuity equation for the mixture is obtained by the summation of the mass conservation equations of the liquid and the gas (Eqs. (13) and (14)) of Chapter 6. a ay PLAL + Poa) + = (ALULAL + poUcdc) = 0 aM which can be written as: Q a a Sn) + SemCy= 1-05, Zuber erat, vertical DeSomPr<0SCy=12 1967 D 05 Co= 14-04, (®; reduced pressure) agp |* hum v4[] 12-02/ Ii, Zar a 1979 Hii, shi 2003 ‘Slug vertical 035, [PG Pa) 12 Zuber et al., v PL 1967 Collis, 1981 Slughorizontal 0.54, /SD@L— PO) 12 Bendiksen v PL 1984. ume 29 (#48) [a o hata Pa! 1976Ry CHINESE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG on 1013 13 For personal se ly Encyclopedia of Two-Phase Heat Transfer and Flow | Downloaded from www.worldsci¢ hos Modeling of Gas Liquid Flow in Pipes velocity Vep. to the diffusion velocity Vom.
