THE TRANSITION FROM TWO PHASE BUBBLE FLOW TO SLUG FLOW

Abstract

The process of transition from bubble to slug flow in a vertical pipe has been studied analytically and experimentally. An equation is presented which gives the agglomeration time as a function of void fraction, channel diamet r, initial bubble diameter and liquid purity. A dependent function which also appears in the equation was evaluated using experimental data.A reasonably good correlation of data was achieved. (Author)
