... and pressure gradient are the two main parameters for comparison. IFE's CO 2 flow loop, with an inner diameter (ID) of 44 mm, operates for two-phase flows over a large range of pressures and temperatures to cover the equilibrium line. A set of experiments was run to simulate similar conditions, according...

... diameter pipes. The experimental data indicate that the holdup and pressure gradient is systematically higher for the 297 mm pipe, compared to the smaller diameters, when the total pressure gradient is gravitationally dominated. However, the total pressure gradient only changes approximately 25% for pipe...

.... The various experimental setups that are used and their outcome (trends and correlations) are described. In each project, a model was developed to predict the pressure gradient under foam flowing conditions. These models are discussed here and they are applied to representative well conditions. INTRODUCTION...

... flow, the oscillations of pressure gradient and liquid production could also cause fatigue of the pipeline itself and disturbed the downstream facilities. Therefore, accurate predictions of the critical gas velocity, oil and/or water holdup for the intermittent flow is of great importance...

... was gradually changed from −5° to +5°. In-put water cuts from 0 % to 100 % were covered. The mixing velocity was varied from 0.1 m/s to 1.0 m/s . Flow pattern maps, local phase fraction, and pressure gradient measurements are shown. Significant influence of the pipe inclination was found. This effect became...

... 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...

Furthermore, experimental pressure gradients, average total liquid and water holdups, slug frequency and length data were compared with the commercial transient multiphase simulator, OLGATM, which shows a good match with high flow-rate conditions. The models validation study shows that the effect of water cut...

A methodology was developed to predict the region of flow stratification and the pressure gradient, which was based on the assumption of a two dispersed layer configuration where the continuity of each layer was decided from calculated entrainment fractions...
