Abstract
Two-phase evaporative flow in many industrial processes is characterised by relatively high downstream velocities. Such high velocities attribute to wear in slurry pipelines and equipment due to hydraulic transport of solids materials. Based on various models found in the literature describing two-phase flow behaviour, a practical and reliable means of quantifying two-phase flow behaviour has been developed. This enables the piping designers to determine where in the pipework two-phase flow commences, and how to limit the velocities in the piping system and its components.
