... and field data were considered for model evaluation. Field data were taken from published data (Turner et al., 1969, Belfroid et al., 2008 and Veeken et al., 2010). Experiments were performed at the multiphase laboratory (EPT-NTNU) in an upward inclinable pipe. The test section was 6 m long and 60 mm ID...

... ABSTRACT In this work, a novel two-line laser-based diagnostic measurement technique was developed and applied to obtain combined space- and time-resolved phase and velocity information in low-inclination upward (<+5°) stratified flows of oil (Exxsol D140) and water. The strength...

... Abstract Oil-water pipe flow experiments in a horizontal and slightly inclined test section are presented. The experimental work was performed in a 16 m acrylic test section with ID of 60 mm , using tap water and a medium viscosity oil (61 cP ) as test fluids. The pipe inclination...

... Abstract This experimental investigation was conducted in horizontal and inclined acrylic pipe of 30.6-mm ID. The pressure gradients were determined in the dispersed flow regions with flow conditions of 0.8 – 1.6 m/s mixture velocities and 0.05 – 0.9 input oil volume fractions...

... fraction can become significant if the superficial gas velocity is reduced. Two diameters (8" and 12") were investigated, covering three inclination angles (1°, 2.5° and 5°). The experiments were carried out with nitrogen as the gas phase and four different types of liquids (naphtha, Exxsol D40, water...

We have found that the experiments give the accumulation point when the critical holdup is lower than the holdup at the accumulation point, which is normally the case in the current campaign. For steeper pipe inclinations, however, it is possible that the critical...

... ABSTRACT Gas-condensate pipelines with very low liquid drop out (Usl>0.005 m/s) are characterised by low rates of liquid accumulation in upward inclined sections. One particular feature of such flows in moderate upwardly inclined pipes is that there exists a region where the liquid holdup...

... ABSTRACT This paper presents experiments on air/water flows in a 14m long test pipe. Many different flow rates, liquid fractions and pipe inclinations relevant for transport of unprocessed gas were investigated. The flow regimes were determined from visual observations. The time averaged...
