Abstract
Two-phase flow is a flow that is composed of several combined substance
that is liquid and gas. Two phase flow encountered in industrial processes, such as
on a system boiler, reactor, heat exchanger, geothermal and others. Two phase flow
phenomena are also a lot we encounter in nature, some examples of two-phase flow
phenomena occur in nature, examples fog, snow, cloud, rain and so on. The purpose
of this research was to obtain the characteristics, length, and frequency of flow
patterns on two phases as well as getting the experimental values of the primary
data measured on flow vacuum faction two phase mixture of glycerin and akuades
air in pipes capillary with a slope of 30 ˚.
The research on data retrieval using capillary pipe size is 1.6 mm with a
working fluid to air a mixture of glycerine and akuades with concentrations of
glycerin mixture is 40%, 50%, 60% and 70%. The value of the fraction vacuum
analyzed using the method of digital image processing with MATLAB application
program R2014a.
The results showed that the value of the fraction vacuum is determined by
superficial velocity of liquid and air superficial velocity. The greater the superficial
air velocity then the value of the fraction vacuum will develop, the greater the
superficial velocity of liquid fraction of the value of the vacuum would further
decrease. On bubbly flow pattern and plug are strongly influenced by the viscosity
of the fluid. That is because the higher the viscosity of fluid flow pattern speed then
the bubbly and plug will increasingly decline, conversely, if fluid viscosity declined
then the bubbly flow pattern speed and plug will progressively increase. Bubbly
flow pattern length and plug are strongly influenced by the value of the
homogeneous (β), if the value of the homogeneous (β) the higher then the length of
the pattern will experience an increase. On the frequency of occurrence of the
bubbly and plug obtained a frequency is high enough, it would result in the value
of the fraction of the resulting vacuum is high enough.
