Air water slug flows through a 25.4-mm diameter horizontal tube in microgravity condition (less than 1% of earth's normal gravity). The liquid phase consists of water with dynamic viscosity of µ1= 85.5 × 10−5kg/m-s, density of ρl = 997kg/m3, thermal conductivity of kl = 0.613 W/m·K. and Prandtl number of Prl = 5.0. The gas phase consists of air with dynamic viscosity of µg= 18.5 × 10−6kg/m·s, density ρg = 1.16 kg/m3, and Prandtl number Prg = 0.71. At superficial gas velocity of Vsg = 0.3 m/s, superficial liquid velocity Vsl = 0.544 m/s, and void fraction of α = 0.27, estimate the two-phase heat transfer coefficient htp. Assume the dynamic viscosity of water evaluated at the tube surface temperature to be 73.9 × 10−5kg/m · s. Answer: 2810 w/m2·k
