This paper presents an experimental investigation of air-water flow in a complete piping
system, covering the two-phase flow development in injector, upstream, U-bend and …

In this study, the influence of U-bends on the flow and pressure propagation characteristics
of a gas–liquid two-phase flow in upstream and downstream straight pipes was investigated …

Pressure drops in horizontally aligned U-bends were measured for air-water bubbly, plug,
slug and annular flows to examine the applicability of available correlations to the data. The …

Gas-liquid two-phase flow in curved channels is widely found in various heat exchangers
and transport pipes. The fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics are closely related to flow …

U-tubes are widely applied in gas–liquid two-phase transportation in chemical engineering.
The diverse flow patterns within these tubes significantly affect the pressure loss, heat …

The importance of developing two-phase flow downstream of return bends has been
brought about by several authors wishing to quantify irreversible losses in singularities. In a …

The relative permittivity (dielectric constant) of mixtures of a polyol ester (POE) ISO VG 10
lubricating oil and refrigerants R-134a and R-1234yf was evaluated experimentally for …

The onset of slugging in stratified gas–liquid flow in a 26.4-mm ID horizontal pipe was
investigated experimentally using a high-speed digital video processing technique. Spatio …

Water–air flow in horizontal and vertical straight pipes and through 90∘ sharp-angled mitre
elbows is investigated by visualizing the flow patterns by means of a high-precision camera …

Experiments on air-water two-phase flows in a horizontal U-bend placed in the vertical plane
were carried out to investigate effects of pipe bending on the void fraction. The inner …
