  5. Two-Phase Flow – Steady State Operation • Steady state operation of two-phase flow in pipes means that the flow rate of the fluids (gas and liquid) are constant; • As a result, the conditions at any point in the pipe remains constant: the flow pattern, average void fraction, average pressure drop and average local flow rates do not vary with time; • two flow seldom is a truly steady state flow and averaging values are used over a time period characteristic of the flow pattern.

  6. Gas-Liquid Vertical Flow

  14. Experimental Setup

  15. Doppler Flowmeter Doppler ultrasonic flowmeters operate on the Doppler effect, whereby the transmitted frequency is altered linearly by being reflected from particles and bubbles in the fluid. The net result is a frequency shift between transmitter and receiver frequencies that can be directly related to the flow rate.

  16. Transit Time/Transmission Technique
