A counter-current two-phase flow under an applied electric field has been studied theoretically using potential flow equations. A flooding correlation has been derived taking account of applied electric field on the interface for both adiabatic and condensing system. It is found that the electric field enhances flooding phenomena in case of adiabatic system. In the case with system involving condensation the electric field enhances flooding at low liquid flow rates and at high liquid flow rates the flooding point decreases under electric field depending on the rate of subcooling. / Thesis / Master of Engineering (ME)
