Two-phase flow in inclined tubes with specific reference to condensation: A review (2011, unknown): “For condensation, this correction factor is only significant for high mass fluxes and leads to an increase of the pressure drop when the heat flux increases (Cavallini et al., 2000; 2001).”

An Improved and Extended General Correlation for Heat Transfer During Condensation in Plain Tubes (2009, background): “While all of the tested correlations performed reasonably well, the Cavallini et al. (2006) correlation has the least mean deviation (12.”
Update on Condensation Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop inside Minichannels (2006, background): “Ishii and Mishima [ 54 ] presented a correlation for the fraction of liquid flowing as droplets in the gas in annular flow, which is a function of fluid properties, gas flux, total liquid Reynolds number, and tube diameter.”
