On the basis of the experimental studies of Taylor flow in capillaries of Heiszwolf et al. [48], an empirical correlation for estimating liquid slug lengths (ijiug) proposed by Kreutzer [30] ... 

Figure 9.9 Schematic of Taylor flow showing the definitions of the unit cell, gas bubble length Lb and the liquid slug length L,. The lengths of the nose L ose and tail L,aii sections of the gas bubble are also indicated. Mass transfer contributions in the Taylor flow are indicated with the numbers (i) bubble to wall through film, (2) bubble to slug, and (3) slug to wall.

Figure 16 Relative increase of friction and mass transfer due to gas-liquid Taylor flow, compared to developed laminar flow in small tubes. represents the dimensionless length of a liquid slug. Re the Reynolds number based on the liquid.
