Abstract

In this research work, a new pressure gradient correlation for oil-water separated flow in horizontal pipes has been developed. The proposed correlation was derived from 371 experimental pressure drop data points for variety range of Reynolds number (Rem =800-35000), pipe diameters (14-82.8 mm), mixture velocities (Um=0.09-5.46 m/s), oil-water density ratio (ρo/ρw =0.780-0.875) and oil-water viscosity ratio (µo/µw =1.3-28). The accuracy of the new empirical correlation has been compared with commonly used existing models. The comparison indicates that the new proposed correlation predicts with better accuracy than the Al-Wahaibi (2012) and two fluid models.
