Heat transfer in well-characterised Taylor flow

The flow and heat transfer behaviours of gas–liquid, non-boiling, Taylor flow in the vertical upward direction were studied experimentally using a 2.00 mm diameter channel. Nitrogen and water at atmospheric pressure were employed as the working fluids. Three circular T-junction mixers with different diameters were used to generate gas bubbles and liquid slugs of different lengths (1–220d) with controlled mixture velocities (0.11
