Item Determination of void fraction by image processing(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2017-09-28) Dibek, Burak; Demir, HakanVoid fraction is one of the key parameters for defining the characteristics of a two phase flow. However, determination of void fraction is not easy due to changing conditions of flow and the type of fluid. In literature, there are plenty of works on determination of void fraction in two-phase flow in a pipe or channel which uses psychical parameters and properties of the system, flow and fluid. Since there are plenty number of correlations for various flow types, an experimental method has been suggested to determine the void fraction according to flow type without using any physical parameter of the flow and fluid. Image visualization methods have been applied to two-phase flow of refrigerant R600a in a circular tube. The images from high speed photography have been processed using a software developed with MATLAB Image Processing Toolbox. The results were also compared with the well-known correlations.
