BW, and BG) of the Panhandle correlation that was found to be better suited to Panhandle and the Modified Panhandle equations. Since the actual cross-sectional area occupied by each phase is less The original Weymouth equation only accounted for Pf. First the appropriate and liquid to gas ratio. by the method of manufacture and is usually between 0.00055 to 0.0019 and therefore when EL(0) is smaller Once the liquid holdup (EL) the surface tension () is given in units of lbf The first curve provides a value for . Knowing the pressure at the inlet of that segment, add to (or subtract and temperature, whereas for a liquid a constant density can be safely It is implementation of the Modified Panhandle equation includes BOTH horizontal As with the original Panhandle flow" only. This flow efficiency generally ranges from 0.8 to 0.95. model, there are not many correlations that were developed for the whole In the equation above, the problem is really determining an appropriate and thus our Panhandle correlation accounts for horizontal, inclined and can be expressed as the sum of two terms: The hydrostatic pressure losses are a function of the fluid mixture Model based on experiments with air-water flow for various pipe inclinations. can the adjacent segment. of the fluid or mixture. It is usually measured in units of distance per unit time. correlation is used to calculate the in-situ volume fraction. Modified Panhandle correlations respectively. would be used.
