Notes
Developed with mixtures of air-water, helium-water, and freon-12-water and vertical tests. Studied flow patterns were bubbly, slug, annular, bubbly-slug, and slug-annular regimes. Superficial velocity ratios ranged from 0.02 to 470.
A viscosity correction is only suggested for the laminar regime. If the viscosity at the wall temperature is not given, the liquid viscosity correction is not applied.

Notes
This model is based on a laminar entry length correlation - for a sufficiently long tube, this will predict unrealistically low heat transfer coefficients.

Developed for horizontal pipes in laminar slug flow. Data consisted of the systems air-water, air-SAE 10 oil, gas-oil, air-diethylene glycol, and air-aqueous glycerine.

Notes
The liquid-only heat transfer coefficient will be calculated with the laminar_entry_Seider_Tate correlation, should it not be provided as an input. Many of the arguments to this function are optional and are only used if hl is not provided.
hl should be calculated with a velocity equal to that determined with a combined volumetric flow of both the liquid and the gas. All other parameters used in calculating the heat transfer coefficient are those of the liquid. If the viscosity at the wall temperature is not given, the liquid viscosity correction in laminar_entry_Seider_Tate is not applied.
