Balakrishna The effect of tube diameter on two-phase frictional pressure drop was investigated in circular tubes with inner diameters of 0.6, 1.2, 1.7, 2.6 and 3.4 mm using air and water. The gas and liquid superficial...

We demonstrate nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging of the flow and diffusion of laser-polarized xenon (129Xe) gas undergoing convection above evaporating laser-polarized liquid xenon. The large xenon NMR signal provided by the laser-polarization technique allows more rapid imaging than one can achieve with thermally polarized gas-liquid systems, permitting shorter time-scale events such as...

Single screw expansion is widely used in petroleum and chemical department, energy recovery engineering, power engineering and many practical applications. Yet the problems of gas leakage in the single screw expansion seriously affect its efficiency. An experimental investigation of gas-liquid two-phase flow patterns and pressure drop inside the single screw expansion has been carried out. The ...

Here we demonstrate a novel concept of liquid-in-gas droplet microfluidics by using gas flow as the continuous phase for the production of liquid droplets. Within a specially configured co-flow microfluidic tubing device, a flow of liquid phase has been continuously dispersed into another outer stream of gas phase, producing discrete and monodisperse microdroplets. This process is robust and we...

Mechanistic modelling is a common approach to predict design parameters such as flow pattern, pressure drop, or liquid holdup in gas-liquid pipes. This starts with the application of continuity and momentum balance required supplementary relationships close system equations. These additional equations are also called closure which developed experimental results for given conditions. evolved tim...

 Understanding the flow behaviour in a gas well is crucial for future production strategies, obtaining bottomhole conditions from wellhead production data, analyzing production data and estimating reservoir properties. In this work, the pressure profile and flow regime are studied on four wells of a multi-well, multi-layer gas-condensate reservoir, producing at high rate. The wells are deviate...
