Experimental equipment and data are reported for entrainment and energy loss in annular, two‐phase flow of water and air. Measurements were made with a sample withdrawal technique in 1‐ and 3‐in. horizontal tubes. A knowledge of entrainment is necessary to an understanding of various mass transfer, heat transfer, and separation problems in two‐phase flow. A preliminary correlation is presented.
