  2. Slip ratio (gas–liquid flow) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_ratio_(gas–liquid_flow)

    There are a number of correlations for slip ratio. For homogeneous flow, S = 1 (i.e. there is no slip). The Chisholm correlation [2] [3] is: = The Chisholm correlation is based on application of the simple annular flow model and equates the frictional pressure drops in the liquid and the gas phase.

  3. Discharge coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discharge_coefficient

    In a nozzle or other constriction, the discharge coefficient (also known as coefficient of discharge or efflux coefficient) is the ratio of the actual discharge to the ideal discharge, [1] i.e., the ratio of the mass flow rate at the discharge end of the nozzle to that of an ideal nozzle which expands an identical working fluid from the same initial conditions to the same exit pressures.

  4. Moody chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moody_chart

    Measurements of fluid flow in artificially roughened pipes by J. Nikuradse [5] were at the time too recent to include in Pigott's chart. The chart's purpose was to provide a graphical representation of the function of C. F. Colebrook in collaboration with C. M. White, [ 6 ] which provided a practical form of transition curve to bridge the ...

  5. Slip factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_factor

    In turbomachinery, the slip factor is a measure of the fluid slip in the impeller of a compressor or a turbine, mostly a centrifugal machine. Fluid slip is the deviation in the angle at which the fluid leaves the impeller from the impeller's blade/vane angle.

  6. Two-phase flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-phase_flow

    Different modes of two-phase flows. In fluid mechanics, two-phase flow is a flow of gas and liquid — a particular example of multiphase flow.Two-phase flow can occur in various forms, such as flows transitioning from pure liquid to vapor as a result of external heating, separated flows, and dispersed two-phase flows where one phase is present in the form of particles, droplets, or bubbles in ...

  7. NTU method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTU_Method

    Here, is the molecular weight of water (vapor), is the average molecular weight of air, is the partial pressure of air (not including the partial pressure of water vapor in an air mixture) and can be approximated by knowing the partial pressure of water vapor at the inlet, before dehumidification occurs, ,. From here, all of the previously ...

  8. Turndown ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turndown_ratio

    Boilers using the pressure jet type of burner, i.e. with a fan, (usually with 35 second oil) can achieve a turndown ratio of 2, while the rotary cup type burner can achieve 4. [3] Condensing oil boilers are fairly unusual; the condensate from the combustion of oil is far more aggressive than gas, mainly due to sulphur content.

  9. Forced circulation boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_circulation_boiler

    Water is introduced into the steam drum and is circulated around the boiler, leaving only as steam. What makes the forced circulation boiler different is its use of a secondary pump that circulates water through the boiler. The secondary pump takes the feed water going to the boiler and raises the pressure of the water going in.
