Experimental investigation of the parameters that affect droplet size and distribution for design calculations of two-phase separators

“…This phenomenon was observed by Ref. [ 26 ], who examined water–kerosene mixtures in a pipe over a wide range of kerosene-water compositions (zero to 50% kerosene) and flows (laminar to turbulent). Flows changes in this study barely exceed laminar flow (see Fig.…”

“…19 ). Compared to the work of [ 26 ], this range would be too small to see a significant effect. The oil fraction change is much more comparable with that of [ 26 ], and the increase in the range of drop sizes is consistent with their work.…”

“…Compared to the work of [ 26 ], this range would be too small to see a significant effect. The oil fraction change is much more comparable with that of [ 26 ], and the increase in the range of drop sizes is consistent with their work. It is not possible with the existing apparatus to extend the range of the study to investigate the drop size distribution to more turbulent conditions.…”

Study of kerosene–water two‐phase flow characteristics in vertical and inclined pipes

“…The results demonstrate that the distribution is axisymmetric with the centreline peak value of 0.45 m/s compared to a water peak value of 0.35 m/s (Figure a). When the volumetric quality is increased to 18.6%, the drop velocity distribution becomes flatter as shown in Figure b …”
