The phase separation process is investigated based on the experiments of Seeger (1985), carried out in a very detailed and complete set of air/water and steam/water conditions in a horizontal tee. The effect of branch pipe’s orientation is also studied. Nearly identical trends are shown for the steam/water and air/water flows through a horizontal branch, which imply that nonequilibrium flashing phenomenon is of little significance during phase separation in a tee. Flow regimes and gravity effects are found to play an important role in phase separation in vertical branch pipes. Also, the data presented in this paper are the most comprehensive taken to data and indicate phenomena which represent a significant challenge to the predictive capability of current computer code.
