Abstract
A new correlation for the prediction of frictional pressure drop for two-phase flow in pipes is suggested which is simple and more convenient to use than other methods. To determine their reliabilities, this correlation and fourteen correlations from the literature were checked against a data bank containing 9300 measurements of frictional pressure drop for a variety of fluids and flow conditions. It was found that the best agreement between predicted and measured values was obtained using the correlation suggested by Bandel. Somewhat less but still reasonable accuracy of pressure drop prediction is provided by a group of identified correlations, which includes the correlation described in this paper.
