ABSTRACT
New dimensionless parameters and a simplified correlation to predict pressure drop during the gas-liquid flow in horizontal pipes are proposed. The new equation fits the published data very well. The proposed power law equation can correlate the stratified-smooth, stratified-wavy, stratified-atomization, stratified-annular-transition and annular flow patterns. The proposed simplified dimensionless formula can be used for the flow line design purposes and flow assurance predictions in pipelines.
