A curve-fitted equation defines this relationship, which is a strong function of the Lockhart-Martinelli parameter. C coefficients are shown to be strong functions of both the Lockhart-Martinelli parameter and liquid viscosity, making this correlation unsuited to predictions of pressure drop in PHEs. Interfacial structure, observed during air-water downflow in replica channels (dC = 3 mm), is categorized into five flow patterns. These have a number of similarities with structures reported for circular and rectangular channels of similarly low hydraulic diameter. The transition boundaries between the patterns are shown to be a function of the chevron angle.
