Notes:
Data on pressure drop in two-phase, single-component fluid flow, both with and without heat transfer, are presented in terms of the Lockhart and Martinelli correlation parameters. The fluids used were trichloromonofluoromethane and hydrogen.The results are compared with the correlation curve recommended by Martinelli and Nelson and give frictional pressure drops that are about 40% lower than the curve. The reasons for the deviations are discussed in terms of the effects of friction factors, the existence of metastable equilibrium, accuracy of data and instrumentation, and calculation procedures.It is concluded that the Martinelli and Nelson correlation and a simple momentum pressure drop computation can be superposed to predict roughly the total pressure drop in tubes containing steady state, two-phase, single-component fluid flow with appreciable vaporization.
