Effects of grid spacer with mixing vane on entrainments and depositions in two-phase annular flows

The effects of mixing vanes (MVs) attached to a grid spacer on the characteristics of air–water annular flows were experimentally investigated. To know the effects, a grid spacer with or without MV was inserted in a vertical circular pipe of 16-mm internal diameter. For three cases (i.e., no spacer,...
