Solution Gas

The effect of solution gas on the two-phase flow behavior through an orifice plate and a convergent-divergent nozzle has been investigated with regard to the flow metering of compressible two-phase mixtures. A proper thermodynamics approach to consider more accurately the compressibility effect in an accelerated two-phase flow, in particular that through an orifice and Laval’s nozzle in the presence of the solution gas, has been developed. From this approach an equation of state of mixture was derived and used in determining the orifice equation. An analysis of flow behavior has been performed and several illustrative plots were presented in order to evaluate the gas solubility effect in the flow metering with an orifice plate or a convergent-divergent nozzle. A delimitation between critical and noncritical flow has been established in terms of measured parameters and a relationship between the critical pressure and gas-liquid mass ratio was also shown.

Wet Gas

Wet gas flow is a typical two-phase flow with low liquid fractions. As differential pressure signal contains rich information of flow parameters in two-phase flow metering, a new method is proposed for wet gas flow metering based on differential pressure (DP) and blind source separation (BSS) techniques. DP signals are from a couple of slotted orifices and the BSS method is based on time-frequency analysis. A good relationship between the liquid flow rate and the characteristic quantity of the separated signal is established, and a differential pressure correlation for slotted orifice is applied to calculate the gas flow rate. The calculation results are good with 90% relative errors less than ±10%. The results also show that BSS is an effective method to extract liquid flow rate from DP signals of wet gas flow, and to analysis different interactions among the total DP readings.

The Difference

It is an important achievement of modern techniques to determine the mass flow rate and the phase fraction of wet steam by measuring the orifice plate differential pressure noise. The orifice plate differential pressure noise of air-water two-phase flow in horizontal and vertical rising pipelines were analyzed. Kinds of calculation methods were tried to get the differential pressure noise. From the difference waveform of the differential pressure square root that the acquisition card got and the mean square root of the sample that got before, the first in first out (FIFO) principle was used to get the differential pressure noise. Result shows that the differential pressure noise has different level at different vapor flow rate with the same water flow rate, conclusions show that the two-parameter measurement by using orifice plate differential pressure noise may be possibly used in vertical rising gas-water two phase flow.

This paper presents a practical method for computing two-phase flow rates through AGA-ASME stamdard orifice meters to a tolerance of 1.5 per cent. A rational equation is developed modifying the present single-phase metering equation by the introduction of one experimentally determined constant and permitting the use of data already contained in the ASME Fluid Meters Research Committee publications. Equations are also given for computing the two-phase flow of natural gas using the American Gas Association Report No. 3. No additional data are needed for the solution of two-phase flow metering problems. The experimental constant is derived from the analysis of 90 test points for two phase flow of steam-water, air-water, natural gas-water, natural gas-salt water, and natural gas-distillate combinations. Three separate test series are described for orifices equipped with radius, flange, and pipe tap locations in 2 1/2, 3, and 4-inch pipe with beta ratios ranging from 0.25 to 0.50. Pressures ranged from atmospheric to 920 psia, differentials from 10 to 500 inches of water, and liquid weight fractions from 2 to 89 per cent. Temperatures were from 50 to 500 F and Reynolds numbers for the liquid from 50 to 50,000 and for the gas from 15,000 to 1,000,000. These data were correlated to a standard deviation of 0.75 per cent. The areas where further research is needed to increase the universality of the two-phase metering equation are delineated.
