| Abstract | Data are reported on the pressure drop of current air-water two phase flow through bifur-cations with included angles of and In general the pres sure changes due to bifurcation were dependent on the superficial velocity of the phases in the feed line and the angle of bifurcation. For low angles of bifurcation the pressure loss was insensitive to total flow rate if the superficial liquid velocity was in the low range below 0. 2 For higher values of superficial liquid veloci ty the pressure loss increased markedly both with increasing total velocity and superficial liquid velocity. When the angle of bifurcation was increased negative values of pressure loss were observed in the intermediate gas flow rate range and the higher liquid flow rate regime. An explanation was attempted for the increase in pressure over the bifurcation. |
