A procedure for computing the void‐fraction and pressure drop in two‐phase stratified flow over the whole range of flows from turbulent‐turbulent to laminar‐laminar, has been put forth. The results are in excellent agreement with those of previous investigators in flow situations where data are available. Simple curve fits of the theoretical results have been developed to compute the required quantities, as functions of the Lockhart ‐ Martinelli parameters.
