    Definition of Choking or Critcal Flow

    Further on VOS in multiphase, would you guys believe that one will hear bell ring later in a rainy day than in a sunny day? I think that multiphase sonic velocity will be equal to gas sonic velocity when there is a continuous gas phase in the flow and equal to liquid sonic velocity when there...

    Definition of Choking or Critcal Flow

    This is what I came up with so far, up for your comments: If choking device is of venturi profile than Bernoulli with empirical corrections for frictions and turbulence could be used to describe flowing pressure profile across the device. Using that equation, Pin/Pout choking criteria could be...

    Definition of Choking or Critcal Flow

    All, let me suggest to extend this discussion to multiphase flows. Apart from correct definitions given above, choking as an effect will happen in gas, liquid and multiphase mixtures when flow velocity* will reach pressure wave propagation speed*. Question is, how to describe choking...
