Terefore, for keepin in te transient from sine pase to two-pase fow, te foowin reation mst be satisfied. f pf ow, scaed mode fid mst be seected in sc way tat te above condition ffied. Moreover, te seected mode fid mst ave te foowin caracteristics: It mst be pysicay resistant to te temperatre and be stabe. It sod ave te east tendency to react wit metas.
