Effect of heat flux on pressure drop in low pressure flow boiling in a horizontal tube

Abstract There has been a lack of research specifically examining the effect of heat addition on frictional pressure drop in two phase flow systems. The work presented herein is a result of a series of experiments, using a low pressure steam‐water loop to investigate this effect. It was found that the application of constant heat flux results in a significant increase in frictional pressure drop at certain qualities. It was also found that …
