The experiment was conducted in the conditions of a horizontal and vertical flow through a measuring channel. Pressure drops calculated on the basis Kawahara and Lottes methods are compared with experimental data. A system of two interconnected pipes with internal diameters of 40 and 22 mm as well as 46 and 16 mm and a total length of 7 m formed the measurement channel. The experiments involved air, water and oil.}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.16.111.5510}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/czasopismo-techniczne/artykul/multi-phase-flow-mixture-through-a-sudden-change-in-channel-cross-section} }
