What are the two types of distributive flow?

• A. Bubble and Mist
• B. Laminar and Turbulent
• C. Gas and Liquid
• D. Thick and Thin

Answer: (A)

Distributive flow refers to how the dispersed phase is arranged within the continuous phase in a two‑phase flow. The two common forms are when gas forms discrete bubbles in a liquid (bubbly flow) and when liquid forms discrete droplets in a gas (mist flow). In bubbly flow, gas bubbles are dispersed throughout the liquid and move with it. In mist flow, tiny liquid droplets are carried by the gas phase. The other options don’t fit because laminar versus turbulent describes how smooth or chaotic the motion is, not how the phases are distributed; gas versus liquid names the phases involved rather than their distribution; and thick versus thin isn’t a standard way to categorize flow regimes.
