Two-phase pressure drop (ZDP)

Two-phase pressure drop in pipe flow

ZDP module

Fundamentals:

Due to the absence of general correlations for the calculation of pressure drop in gas and fluid flow in pipes, empirical equations have been developed that employ actual measured data.

Lutz Friedel in 1978 [1] and 1984 [2] presented a calculation method based on several thousand data for pressure drop in horizontal, vertically upward, and vertically downward flowing two-phase streams.

Horizontal
Vertical upward or downward
