Abstract
A gas phase and a liquid phase with a specified volumetric ratio of phases in a flow and with specified flow rates are injected into a multiphase separator. During the injection gas and liquid phase volumes in the separator are determined and accumulation rates of each phase in the separator are calculated. A thermodynamic equilibrium is estimated based on a discrepancy between the phase injection rates and the calculated phase accumulation rates.
