Experimental study on two-phase pressure drop in a vertical pipe with air-Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquid in slug flow regime has been carried out within a range of gas and liquid flowrate of 0.5×10-4 to 1.92×10-4 m-3/s and 1.6×10-4 to 6.7×10-4 m3/s respectively. In the present study air and four types of liquids such as water, amyl alcohol, glycerin (two different concentrations), and CMC (Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose) are used. The present data were analyzed by two-phase friction method. To predict the two-phase pressure drop, correlations have been developed with Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquid. A general correlation was also developed to predict the two-phase pressure drop in a vertical column of diameter 0.01905 m and 3.4 m height combining both the Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquid systems.

Pressure drop characteristics of R134a in annular helicoidal pipe was investigated experimentally with R134a flowing in the annular section. The experimental results revealed that when more R134a vapor was condensed, the liquid phase pressure drop increased largely while the vapor phase pressure drop decreased slightly. By comparing with the experimental data obtained from the same test section with R134a flowing in the inner circular tube of the helicoidal pipe, it was observed that the pressure drop for refrigerant in the annular section was always larger. It was also observed that the helicoidal pipe orientation showed little effect on the pressure drop variations. A pressure drop correlation was developed from the experimental data in terms of pressure drop multiplier with respect to Lockhart-Martinelli parameter.
