Abstract
A new hydrodynamics model is proposed using minimum energy dissipation concept for gas-liquid stratified flow in horizontal pipes. It determines the liquid holdup and the pressure drop in gas-liquid stratified flow without the need of interfacial friction factor closure relationship. Model predictions show fair agreement when compared with experimental data and existing mechanistic models.
