| Abstract | Significant two-phase flow-induced forces were previously measured on a 20 mm diameter U-tubes over a range of homogeneous void fractions. To investigate the effect of tube diameter, new experiments were conducted using vertical 52 mm diameter U-tubes. In the experiments, two parameters were varied, the homogeneous void fraction and the homogeneous velocity. All the results were compared with those for the smaller diameter tubes. The geometrical characteristics of the smaller diameter test sections are similar. L/D = 56 and the ratio of the bend curvature radius to inner diameter: R/D = 4. For all conditions tested, we compared the vertical upward flow-patterns for four different tube diameters. The observed flow regimes agreed relatively well with those predicted from two-phase flow pattern maps, except for the slug/churn transition. A specific two-phase flow pattern map is proposed for the 52 mm diameter tube, using a more accurate transition model from slug to churn flow. The forces comparison confirms the dependency with tube diameter. The RMS forces were found to increase with tube diameter for all void fractions studied. Conversely, the dominant frequency decreases with tube diameter, linearly for void fractions of 50 and 75%. Dimensionless forces and spectra for the smaller diameter tubes show good data collapse using the proposed model. Two-phase flows in the 52 mm diameter tube generate lower dimensionless spectra. Finally, a dimensionless model is proposed for practical application. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
