Experimental Analyses on T-junction Geometry in Two Phase Flow

T-junction piping is broadly use in the application of flow separation in two phase fluid flow system. This type of pipe geometry is commonly seen at the offshore production pipeline in oil and gas industry and is used as partial separator of two phase flow before the feed fluid enter the separation...
