Bounds on Two-Phase Frictional Pressure Gradient in Minichannels and Microchannels
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Simple rules are developed for obtaining rational bounds for two-phase frictional pressure gradient in minichannels and microchannels. The lower bound is based on the Ali et al. correlation for laminar-laminar flow. This correlation is based on the modification of simplified stratified flow model derived from the theoretical approach of Taitel and Dukler for the case of two-phase flow in a narrow channel. The upper bound is based on Chisholm correlation for laminar-laminar flow. The model is verified using published experimental data of two-phase frictional pressure gradient in circular and non-circular shapes. The published data include different working fluids such as air-water and nitrogen-water mixtures, as well as different channel diameters. The bounds models are also presented in a dimensionless form as two-phase frictional multiplier versus Lockhart-Martinelli parameter for different working fluids such as air-water mixture and nitrogen-water mixture. It is shown that the published data can be well bounded.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
