Abstract
The two and three-phase entrainment fraction data are used for a correlation evaluation study. Performances of ten correlations for two-phase entrainment fraction are compared to the experimental data, and best performing correlations are identified. The correlation of Pan and Hanratty (2002) is modified in an effort to improve the entrainment fraction estimations. The predictions of the modified correlation are compared with the acquired data and datasets from the literature. In addition, a simple empirical correlation is proposed to predict liquid phase entrainment fraction for three-phase flow systems.
