Summary

This study provides a qualitatively visual observation of the two-phase flow patterns for air-water mixtures inside smooth and small diameter tubes with the presence of horizontal return bend. The influence of the return bend on the two-phase flow patterns are investigated. Based on the present flow visualization, three flow pattern maps are proposed to describe the effect of return bend on the transition of two-phase flow pattern.
