... A mechanistic model that predicts the separation of oil-water dispersed horizontal pipe flows was investigated. Different droplet diameter averages were implemented in the model and the accuracy of the resulting predictions was assessed by comparing each case against experimental data...

... ABSTRACT A pipe viscometer was used to study the rheology of dispersions of various fluid systems. The first group of model fluid systems consisted of the light mineral oil Exxsol D60 and blends of water and glycerol. The second system consisted of real condensate and monoethylene glycol (MEG...

... configurations are encountered in oil-water flows for a given pipe material, inlet design, pipe inclination, fluid properties and flow velocities. The resulting flow patterns range from separated flows (e.g. stratified smooth, stratified wavy and stratified with droplets at the interface) to fully dispersed...

... by a differential pressure sensor. The objective of the present study is to predict the evolution of the size distribution of the liquid/liquid dispersion downstream the restriction as a function of hydrodynamic parameters and physico-chemical properties of the system. First results show that the experimental set...
