Investigation of Bubble Size Effect on Vertical Upward Bubbly Two-Phase Pipe Flow Consisted With an Abrupt Expansion

The effects of bubble size on an upward gas-liquid (CO2-water) flow in a vertical pipe after an abrupt expansion is investigated visually and experimentally in the present work. The mean bubble size varies from small scale (db=0.3mm) to relatively large scale (db=4.5mm). Extensive visualization expe...
