Popis: A correlation is developed for predicting in-situ (or true) liquid holdups for two-phase, gas-liquid slug flows in inclined pipes. The correlation is based on experimental data collected in pipes ranging from 2.54 to 7.94 cm in diameter with the air-water system used. The experimental data used to develop the correlation were collected at zero input liquid qualities, as previously discussed by Greskovich (1973), and extended over the entire range. These data revealed little diameter effect on holdup for diameters greater than 2.54 cm but a marked effect of angle of inclination. Predicted holdup values show good agreement with experimental data.
