An Experimental Study of Gas-Liquid Slug Flow in Vertical and Inclined Tubes Using High Speed Motion Analyzer

Abstract

Experimental investigation was carried out for gas-liquid slug flow in vertical and inclined tubes. The non-invasive measurements of the gas-liquid slug flow were taken by using the EKTAPRO 1000 High Speed Motion Analyzer. The present paper has obtained the information on the velocity of the Taylor bubble, the size distribution of the dispersed bubbles in the liquid slugs and some characteritics of the liquid film around the Taylor bubble. The experimental results are in good agreement with the available data.
