An investigation has been carried out to evaluate the two‐phase pressure drop for gas‐non‐Newtonian liquid flow across orifices. The method of dimensional analysis was used to correlate the experimental data. The correlation developed predicts the two‐phase frictional pressure drop across the orifices with acceptable statistical accuracy.
