Void fraction and friction pressure drop measurements were made for an adiabatic, horizontal two-phase flow of air-water, air-oil across a horizontal in-line, 5 × 20 tube bundle with pitch-to-diameter ratio, P/D, of 1.28. For both air-water and air-oil flow, the experimental results showed that the average void fraction were less than the values predicted by a homogenous flow model, but were well correlated with the Martinelli parameter Xtt and liquid-only Froude number FrLO. The two-phase friction multiplier data exhibited an effect of flow pattern and mass velocity, and they could be well-correlated with the Martinelli parameter.
