Abstract

The liquid-phase axial dispersion coefficient and volume-averaged fractional phase hold-ups have been measured in two-phase horizontal pipe flow. Radioactive 99mTc-technetium-99 metastable-(as an aqueous solution of sodium pertechnate) was used as a tracer. The pulse technique with two-point measurement was employed. Superficial gas (air) and liquid (water) velocities were varied in the range 20-2300 and 30-800mm/s, respectively. The flow regimes covered were bubbly, elongated bubbly, stratified, wavy and slug. Experiments were also performed using single-phase pipe flow. The liquid-phase dispersion coefficient has been shown to depend upon the flow regime and the superficial gas and liquid velocities.
