Abstract

Two-phase intermittent gas and liquid slug flow in small diameter glass and plastic tubes was studied. Two distinct flow regimes and the transition phenomena were identified. A modified Hagen- Poiseuille relation was derived to describe the extremely high pressure drop due to the surface tension effects of pinned slug flow.
