Two-phase gas-liquid annular flows are encountered in ventless aero-engine oil system pipes. The droplet size in the flow has an important impact on the performance of downstream equipment as breathers and de-aerators. However, literature studies present semi-empirical models that are not in the range of operating conditions of the oil system. To investigate the effect of the use of lubrication oil on the droplet sizes, this paper presents experimental results of annular flow with oil flow rates from 160 to 640 1/h and air flow rates from 60 to 120 Nm(3)/h. Comparison of the Sauter-Mean Diameter predicted by existing correlation show an error of minimum 30% compared to experimental values for higher oil flow rates, which are the most important in oil systems. To address this issue, correlations were adapted to fit experimental results. With the new set of parameters, the Sauter-Mean Diameter is estimated with an error of maximum 18% for higher oil flow rates. Results analysis illustrate that the main difference between existing and new correlations could be due do the surface tension and viscosity of lubrication oil, which are very different from water at low temperature. The results are also consistent with the transition between bag and ligament break-up droplet generation mechanism at a flow rate of 80 Nm(3)/h. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
