Program Description
This unique course entitled “Two-Phase Pipe Sizing & Pipe Networks” is focused on predicting the two-phase total static pressure drop in a given single-path and multiple-path piping system when both liquid and gas flow concurrently. Looking into the severity of certain two-phase flow regimes on the piping system integrity, the formation of two-phase flow regimes in horizontal and vertical pipes and their identification based on gas and liquid flow rates, the effect of bends on two-phase flow regime formation in both upstream and downstream pipelines are covered. Models like the Homogeneous Equilibrium Model, Separated Flow Model, and Drift Flux Models are covered. Demonstrated the determination of total static two-phase pressure drop in pipes, pipe fittings, valves, and pipe networks using two-phase multipliers and void fraction correlations by solving practical problems.
Course Objectives:
- To explain two-phase flow regimes in horizontal and vertical pipes, the influence of bend on two-phase flow regime formation in downstream and upstream, and identification of two-phase flow regimes using flow pattern maps
- To develop the Homogeneous Equilibrium Model, Separated Flow Model and Drift Flux Model to predict the two-phase total static pressure drop and determine the two-phase pressure drop in a straight pipe, pipe fittings using two-phase multiplier correlations.
- To predict the two-phase pressure drop in piping networks which contain most of the pipe fittings
