Calculating Gas-Liquid Surface Tension in Multiphase Flow Systems
Explore the significance of surface tension between gas and liquid phases in pipeline hydraulics, particularly in multiphase flow calculations. Surface tension plays a crucial role in determining the interfacial shear, which impacts the overall friction gradient in pipelines. This content provides a step-by-step methodology for calculating gas-liquid surface tension, starting with gas-oil and gas-water surface tensions and incorporating correction factors for dissolved gas and water salinity. Learn how to use the Baker-Swerdloff and Abdul Majid correlations to estimate surface tension, and apply these calculations to real-world scenarios where accurate modeling of multiphase flow is essential for effective pipeline management.
