STUDI EKSPERIMENTAL PRESSURE DROP ALIRAN DUA FASE AIR-UDARA PADA KEMIRINGAN PIPA 60° KE ATAS TERHADAP POSISI HORIZONTAL
This study examines the pressure drop characteristics of air-water two-phase flow in a 1-inch diameter plexiglass pipe inclined upward at 60° from the horizontal and compares the experimental results with theoretical calculations. The research employed an experimental method with water flow rates ranging from 5 to 7 gpm and air flow rates ranging from 10 to 30 lpm. Pressure measurements were conducted at two pressure tapping points to determine the pressure drop along the test section. The results indicate that the experimental and theoretical pressure drop values exhibit similar trends, although discrepancies were observed due to flow fluctuations and interfacial interactions between the two phases. The highest pressure drop, 6276.26 N/m², was obtained at a superficial gas velocity Jg = 0.0330 m/s and a superficial liquid velocity Jl = 0.08721 m/s, while the lowest pressure drop, 3726.53 N/m², occurred at Jg = 0.0989 m/s and Jl= 0.08721 m/s. It can be concluded that variations in superficial velocity influence the pressure drop along the inclined pipe.
