Abstract:

An empirical equation is presented that closely approximates experimentally measured void fractions in terms of the fluid quality and the ratio of the density of the fluid phases. Correlation of data is achieved over a range of fluid pressures from 1 to over 135 atmospheres and fluid qualities from 0 to 1.0. Author
