Abstract
New experimental data indicate that mass flux in cocurrent gas‐liquid flows may be determined by the use of Pitot tubes in conjunction with a local mixture density measurement technique. The data were taken over a wide range of flow regimes in a horizontal pipe and included separated patterns such as stratified and annular flows. Local mixture densities were obtained by a computer‐assisted algebraic reconstruction technique that used chordal average densities measured by traversing gamma beam attenuation.The results extend the applicability of this mass flux measurement technique well beyond the relatively homogeneous, high‐pressure, steam‐water flow situations originally studied by Banerjee and Nguyen (1977).Keywords
