| Abstract | Many empirical correlations and mechanistic models exist for estimating pressure in the two-phase flowregion of a dischar geothermal well. Previous comparisons of such models have been limitedby the accuracy of the relationshi available re resenting fluid In this study a preliminary comparison of pressure is performed a simulator that accurate for the of systems. The performance of eachpressure drop model evaluated data that covers a of fluid types and operating conditions. No singlemodel can simulateall of the test wells, although the most appropriate a given category suggested. |
