The flow structure of different flow patterns observed in gas-liquid two phase flow at various pipe orientations are described with the aid of flow visualization. This chapter is helpful in understanding the impact of varying flow patterns, pipe diameter and pipe orientation on the void fraction and two phase pressure drop. Additionally, a brief overview of the void fraction, its dependency on the flow patterns and its influence on the hydrostatic pressure drop is presented. A brief synopsis of the two phase void fraction and frictional pressure drop correlations available in the literature is presented. The performance of these correlations is assessed against a comprehensive database for air-water and refrigerant two phase flow conditions. Based on this detailed analysis, the top performing void fraction and pressure drop correlations are identified and recommended for use for these fluid combinations in different two phase flow situations. Finally, application of the recommended correlations is presented in the form of solved problems. It is expected that these solved problems will give readers an idea of selection and implementation of appropriate correlations for different two phase flow conditions. %@ 978-3-319-04358-6
