Liquid-gas flows in pipelines appear in many industrial processes, e.g. in the nuclear, mining, and oil industry. The gamma-absorption technique is one of the methods that can be successfully applied to study such flows. This paper presents the use of the gamma-absorption method to determine the water-air flow parameters in a horizontal pipeline. Three flow types were studied in this work: plug, transitional plug-bubble, and bubble one. In the research, a radiometric set consisting of two Am-241 sources and two NaI(TI) scintillation detectors have been applied. Based on the analysis of the signals from both scintillation detectors, the gas phase velocity was calculated using the cross-correlation method (CCM). The signal from one detector was used to determine the void fraction and to recognise the flow regime. In the latter case, a Multi-Layer Perceptron-type artificial neural network (ANN) was applied. To reduce the number of signal features, the principal component analysis (PCA) was used. The expanded uncertainties of gas velocity and void fraction obtained for the flow types studied in this paper did not exceed 4.3% and 7.4% respectively. All three types of analyzed flows were recognised with 100% accuracy. Results of the experiments confirm the usefulness of the gamma-ray absorption method in combination with radiometric signal analysis by CCM and ANN with PCA for comprehensive analysis of liquid-gas flow in the pipeline.

Multiphase flow meters are used to measure the water-liquid ratio (WLR) and void fraction in a multiphase fluid stream pipeline. In the present study, a system of multiphase flow measurement has been designed by application of three thallium-doped sodium iodide scintillators and a radioactive source of 133Ba simulated by Monte Carlo N-particle (MCNP) transport code. In order to capture radiations passing across the pipe, two direct detectors have been installed on opposite sides of the radioactive source. Another detector has been placed perpendicular to the transmission beam emitted from the 133Ba source to receive radiations scattered from the fluid flow. Simulation was done by the MCNP code for different volumetric fractions of water, oil, and gas phases for two types of flow regimes, namely, homogeneous and annular; training and validation data have been provided for the artificial neural network (ANN) to develop a computation model for pattern recognition. Depending on applications of the neural system, several structures of ANNs are used in the current paper to model the flow measurement relations, while the detector outputs are considered as the input parameters of the neural networks. The first, second, and third structures benefit from two, three, and five multilayer perceptron neural networks, respectively. Increasing the number of ANNs makes the system more complicated and decreases the available data; however, it increases the accuracy of estimation of WLR and gas void fraction. According to the results, the maximum relative difference was observed in the scattering detector. It was clear that transmission detectors would demonstrate the difference between the flow regimes as well. It is necessary to note that the error calculated by the MCNP simulator is <0.5% for the direct detectors (TR1 and TR2). Due to the difference between the data of the two flow regimes and the errors of data in the simulation codes of the MCNP, it was possible to separate these flow regimes. The effect of changing WLR on the efficiency for a constant void fraction confi rms a considerable variance in the results of annular and homogeneous flow s occurring in the scattering detector. There is a similar trend for the void fraction; hence, one can easily distinguish changes in efficiency due to the WLR. Analysis of the simulation results revealed that in the proposed structure of the multiphase flow meter and the computation model used for simulation, the two flow regimes are simply distinguishable.

The void fraction is one of the most important parameters characterizing a multiphase flow. The prediction of the performance of any system operating with more than single phase relies on our knowledge and ability to measure the void fraction. In this work, a validated simulation study was performed in order to predict the void fraction independent of the flow pattern in gas-liquid two-phase flows using a gamma ray 60Co source and just one scintillation detector with the help of an artificial neural network (ANN) model of radial basis function (RBF). Three used inputs of ANN include a registered count under Compton continuum and counts under full energy peaks of 1173 and 1333 keV. The output is a void fraction percentage. Applying this methodology, the percentage of void fraction independent of the flow pattern of a gas-liquid two-phase flow was estimated with a mean relative error less than 1.17%. Although the error obtained in this study is almost close to those obtained in other similar works, only one detector was used, while in the previous studies at least two detectors were employed. Advantages of using fewer detectors are: cost reduction and system simplification.

Experimental results of gas void fraction in air – oil two-phase flow through a horizontal channel filled with aluminum metal foam (20, 30 and 40 PPI) are presented in the paper. A statistical evaluation of methods used for the calculation of gas void fraction in porous media indicated incapability of predicting such values in foam packing channels with acceptable accuracy. The evaluation of models developed for the flow through channels without packing showed that the best agreement between experimental and calculated gas void fraction values was obtained using the GE RAMP and Zuber-Findlay models.

Heat transfer to boiling liquid flowing through narrow minichannels has become a modern solution to heat transfer enhancement in small, mainly electronic devices. The paper discusses the method for simultaneous measurement of the flow boiling void fraction and heating surface temperature distribution, which aims at determining local values of the vapor quality and heat transfer coefficients. The studies were conducted for boiling FC-72 in a rectangular, vertical and asymmetrically heated minichannel. Employing a high-speed camera on the measurement stand constructed by the author helped to determine, for the set sections, the void and liquid fractions as a function of variable thermal and flow parameters such as channel hydraulic diameter, heat flux, pressure, mass flux and temperature of liquid subcooling at the minichannel inlet. Measurements of the heating surface temperature distribution and photographic observations of the two-phase flows, when conducted simultaneously, allow deter-mining the dependence of the recorded local void fraction on the local temperature. The liquid crystal thermography technique helped to perform the repetitious measurements of the temperature on the heating surface. One of the advantages of this technique is a possibility of observing the instantaneous temperature field of the heating surface. There were observed the following flow patterns: bubbly flow, bubbly-slug flow, slug flow, slug-wispy flow and wispy flow.

The paper presents the application of liquid crystal thermography for temperature determination and visualisation of two phase flow images on the studied surface. Properties and applications of thermochromic liquid crystals are discussed. Liquid crystals were applied for two-dimensional detection of the temperature of the heating foil forming one of the surfaces of the minichannel along which the cooling liquid flowed. The heat flux supplied to the heating surface was altered in the investigation and it was accompanied by a change in the color distribution on the surface. The accuracy of temperature measurements on the surface with liquid crystal thermography is estimated. The method of visualisation of two-phase flow structures is described. The analysis of monochrome images of flow structures was employed to calculate the void fraction for some cross-sections. The flow structure photos were processed using Corel graphics software and binarized. The analysis of phase volumes employed Techsystem Globe software. The measurement error of void fraction is estimated.

Technology advancements entail a necessity to remove huge amounts of heat produced by today’s electronic devices based on highly integrated circuits, major generators of heat. Heat transfer to boiling liquid flowing through narrow minichannels is a modern solution to the problem of heat transfer enhancement. The study was conducted for FC-72 boiling in a rectangular, vertical and asymmetrically heated minichannel that had depths of 0.5–1.5 mm, a width of 20 mm and a length of 360 mm. The heat flux increased and decreased within the range of 58.3–132.0 kWm-2, the absolute pressure ranged from 0.116 to 0.184 MPa and the mass flux was 185–1139.2 kgm-2s-1. The boiling process took place on a flat vertical heating surface made of Haynes-230 0.1 mm thick acid-proof rolled plate with the surface roughness of 121 μm.

One of the non-intrusive and accurate methods of measuring void fraction in two-phase gas liquid pipe flows is the use of the gamma-transmission void fraction measurement technique. The goal of this study is to describe low-energy gamma-ray densitometry using an 241Am source for the determination of void fraction and flow regime in water/gas pipes. The MCNP code was utilized to simulate electron and photon transport through materials with various geometries. Then, a neural network was used to convert multi-beam gamma-ray spectra into a classification of the flow regime and void fraction. The simulations cover the full range of void fraction with Bubbly, Annular and Droplet flows. By using simulation data as input to the neural networks, the void fraction was determined with an error less than 3% regardless of the flow regime. It has thus been shown that multi-beam gamma-ray densitometers with a detector response examined by neural networks can analyze a two-phase flow with high accuracy.

Stwierdzono, że zarówno z punktu widzenia wymiany ciepła jak i hydrodynamiki przepływu, dominującą rolę w przepływie odgrywa ciecz. Zwraca uwagę fakt, że obecność piany aluminiowej nie powoduje rozproszenia płynów, a kształtujące się struktury przepływu odpowiadają strukturom w kanałach niewypełnionych.

Analysis of experimental results dealing with heat exchange and hydrodynamics of two-phase gas-liquid flow through a channel filled with aluminium foam is presented. It was found that from heat transfer and flow hydrodynamics point of view liquid plays predominant role. It is also worth noting that the presence of aluminium foam does not cause fluid dispersion and the formed flow structures correspond to those occurring in unfilled channels.

This paper present the results of experimental investigations of condensation of R134a refrigerant in pipe minichannels with internal diameters 0.64, 0.90, 1.40, 1.44, 1.92 and 3.30 mm subject to periodic pressure instabilities. It was established that as in conventional channels, the displacement velocity of the pressure instabilities distinctly depends on the frequency of their hydrodynamic generation. The void fraction distinctly influences the velocity of the pressure instabilities. The form of this relationship depends on the internal diameter of the minichannels and on the method of calculating the void fraction.

The limitations and possibilities of using two- and three-phase flow calculating methods available in literature to predicting void fractions in three-phase flow are described. The analysis and evaluation of accuracy of these models confirmed that the drift-flux model was the most advantageous.

The flow structure of horizontal air-oil two-phase flow downstream of a sudden area expansion has been experimentally investigated using hot-folm anemometry. The time averaged local profiles of the void fraction, mean liquid velocity and the liquid turbulence intensity for elongated bubble flow downstream of the expansion are presented in this paper. The development of the flow pattern downstream of the expansion was investigated using dorect observations of the flow using a high speed video camera. The sudden expansion was found to have a strong effect on the phase redistribution immediately downstream of the expansion. However, the "fully developed" flow regime and void fraction are found to be dependent only on the downstream flow parameters.

In the present work a new approach to modelling of the void fraction in the upward flow in the boundary layer is presented. The circulation around the bubble is modified to what has been previously assumed in the literature. The circulation is composed of two mechanisms which rotate in opposite directions. The resulting model predicts the wall peaking as well as the core peaking depending primarily on the bubble diameter. The proposed mechanism is entirely new in the available approaches. It is relatively general and enables future modifications.
