Abstract
This chapter discusses the problem of avoiding 2-phase flow, when carrying out liquid transfers. Other problems to avoid include “zero delivery” in long lines, and pressure surges from rapid valve opening and closing. Understanding how to avoid 2-phase flow of a near-boiling cryogenic liquid is explained via the use of a P–T diagram.
