A simple model for predicting the pressure drop and film thickness of non-Newtonian annular flows in horizontal pipes

A model of two-phase non-Newtonian horizontal annular flows, which predicts film thickness and pressure gradient from flowrates only, is presented. In the model, the gas and non-Newtonian liquid flows are calculated separately based on the independent governing equations. The shear stress balance at...
