    Friction Factor Determination for Horizontal Two-Phase Flow Through Fully Eccentric Annuli

    No full text
    In this study, empirical friction factor correlations were developed for two-phase stratified-and intermittent-flow patterns through horizontal fully eccentric annuli. Two-phase flow hydraulics were investigated, and a flow pattern prediction model is proposed. The friction factor correlations were validated using experimental data collected at the multiphase flow loop METU-PETE-CTMFL. Two different geometrical configurations were used during experiments-that is, 0.1143 m inner diameter (ID) casing, 0.0571 m outer diameter (OD) drillpipe; and 0.0932 m ID casing, 0.0488 m OD drillpipe. The eccentric annuli has been represented by representative diameter d(r). A new mixture Reynolds number based on liquid holdup is proposed for friction factor determination

    Modelling of two-phase flow through concentric annuli

    A mathematical model is introduced in order to predict the flow characteristics of multiphase flow through an annulus. Flow patterns and frictional pressure losses estimated using the proposed model are compared with the experimental data of a wide range of liquid and gas flow rates recorded at a flow loop consisting of numerous circular pipes and annulus. The results showed that the model predictions for flow patterns and frictional pressure losses are reasonably accurate. Moreover, it is observed that geometry and liquid phase viscosity have a significant influence on flow pattern transitions and frictional pressure losses

    An exact solution for calculating the frictional pressure losses of yield-power law (YPL) fluids flowing through concentric annulus is proposed. A solution methodology is presented for determining the friction factor for laminar and nonlaminar flow regimes. The performance of the proposed model is compared to widely used models as well as the experimental results of 10 different mud samples obtained from the literature. The results showed that the proposed model could estimate the frictional pressure losses with an error of less than 10% in most cases for both laminar and nonlaminar flow regimes, more accurately than the widely used models available in the literature
