his monograph deals with the steady-state aspects of multiphase flow; the authors have provided a thorough review of empirical correlations for predicting mass transfer and fluid physical properties for the black-oil model. While the scope is confined to flow in wells, the volume should be equally useful for engineers dealing with multiphase flow in surface pipes and horizontal wells.
