Vertical Upward Flow Map 2
Provides a plot showing the flow regime map for a vertical upward two phase flow based on the work by Taitel et al. (1980). The specific flow map shown is for an air-water mixture at room temperature and pressure in a 5 cm tube.
Information regarding the axes follows.
y-axis
superficial liquid velocity = G*(1-x)/rho_L
x-axis
superficial gas velocity = G*x/rho_G
where
G = total mass flux (m_dot/A)
x = quality
