Abstract
A correlation based on the drift-flux model is proposed to estimate volume fraction of solid-phase in developed steady liquid-solid upward two-phase flows in vertical pipes. The distribution parameter and the drift velocity in the model are expressed by the six non-dimensional groups composed of input physical quantities and others. Their fundamental frames are given as follows: VS = JS/αS = Co(JL+JS) − {1-(dS/D)2}αLs VST Co=A1(dS/D)a{JL/(JL+JS)}b{JS/(JL+JS)}e(ρS/ρL)f{(JL+JS)/(gD)0.5}h {ρLD(JL+JS)/μL}j + B1 αL=A2(dS/D)k{JL/(JL+JS)}m{JS/(JL+JS)}n(ρS/ρL)p{(JL+JS)/(gD)0.5}q {ρLD(JL+JS)/μL}r + B2By using these new expressions, the volume fraction of solid-phase can be estimated with higher precisions than the author's previous correlation and Bankoff-type correlation.
