\When platted on the Manchane Flow Patern Map, the data point falls win the annular ow
regime zone. The perfarmance of the corlations described in the Iteralure was evalated
against the experimental data st from WK2C7 given Inthe table above‘The Homogeneous method
“The Homogeneous method fortwo phase flow pressure drop is simply the application of the
Poisoulle fl equation using calculated two phase fd variables, such as Dynamic Viscosly
‘of two phase fuid, Density of two phase Mud, Reynolds Number for two phase fd, Fiction
Factor (Two Phase). The wo phase density and dynamie viscosity are calculated using
harmonic weighting of Iqud and steam properties as inthe folowing equation:

= 1as2kra/mConclusions and Recommendations:
1. The Haricon method works wel fr pipes dlameters of 200mm to 300mm,
For pipe diameters of 400mm to 450mm, experiance showed thatthe Harison method
underestimates the pressure drop, Experience suggest that for slugging flow the
‘averaged pressure drop om the Harson and Homogeneous methods should be used.
While for annular low a correction factor of 25% should be added tothe average ofthe
‘corrected Hertion and Homogeneous methods
3. For pipe iameters 600 mm to 700 mm the Friedel methed works best, while al the ther
‘models al underestimate the pressure drop,
4, For vary lage pipe diameters >1000 mm, the flow in the pipeline will manly become
stratified (water atthe bettom ofthe pipe and steam on top) and the current Mandhane
diagram my nat accurately work. Its an area of high interest but not much published
information ie availabe “be cautious
'5, The results from all the diffrent methodsicalulations should be used with caution as
two phase pressure drop predictions is combination of science and experence,
