    Flow in Pipelines (Holdup Behavior)

    Uploaded by

    Rich Edem
    The document discusses holdup behavior and equations for two-phase flow in pipes. It defines holdup as the volume of a phase within a pipe segment, with the sum of both phases' holdups equaling the pipe's volume. The document also covers slip velocity, which is the difference between phases' average velocities, and no-slip holdups, where slip velocity equals zero and holdup depends only on flow rates.

    HOLDUP BEHAVIOR

    Two phases flowing in a pipe


    3/2/2021 2
    HOLDUP BEHAVIOR EQUATIONS

    • Denser phase yβ • Lighter phase

    = yα

    = Volume of denser phase in = Volume of lighter phase in


    the pipe segment the pipe segment

    V= volume of pipe segment V= volume of pipe segment

    3/2/2021 3
    HOLDUP BEHAVIOR EQUATIONS
    • In gas-liquid flow, the hold up of the gas phase yα ,is called the gas
    void fraction, yα

    • When the pipe is completely occupied by the two phases


    yα+yβ=1

    SLIP VELOCITY (us)
    • The difference between the average velocity of two phases

    • and are known as superficial velocity


    3/2/2021 5
    SLIP VELOCITY (us)

    • Slip velocity general equation

    3/2/2021 6
    NO-SLIP HOLDUPS (λ)
    • In homogeneous two phase flow, slip velocity equals zero
    • The holdup equation

    λβ

    λα1- λβ

    qβ and qα are the volumetric flow rates of the two phases
