Download: Mean Slug Length and Slug Volume in Multiphase Horizontal Pipeline Flow Excel Spreadsheet Calculator

Based on published work of T.J. Hill & D.G. Wood for prediction of slug frequency

English units used throughout the spreadsheet,
Model assumes a horizontal pipeline and uses the Taitel-Dukler stratified flow model to estimate the slip velocity and the equilibrium liquid holdup at the beginning of the pipeline,
The Liquid Holdup based on no-slip uses the Beggs & Brill correlation for segregated flow,
The Taitel-Dukler holdup is calculated from the Lockhart-Martinelli X factor.
