Relationships between the friction pressure gradient and the cross-section of the tube occupied by the liquid are developed for the flow of air-water mixtures in rough-walled horizontal tubes. The data indicate a pronounced change in the form of the relationships when the pressure gradient reaches a value of about 60 lb/ft2ft.
