    Distributor plays a major role on uniformly of the fluid flow distribution through multiple channels, particularly in two phase flow. Uniformity and low pressure drop are the major issue which shall be solved. This study emphasized on the shape of branching points for two phase flow distributor to minimize mal-uniformity and pressure drop. The present distributor, the merge pipe distributor was developed to curved round distributor models with three types of reducer namely; curve reducer, T-reducer and straight reducer. The work was done thru investigating the performance of merge pipe distributor and comparing it to the performance of developed distributors. The analyses were performed through CFD modeling by using Fluent@ software, the two dimensional approach and high superficial velocity. It was founded that, the merged pipe distributor has tended to lack uniformity of phase distribution and slightly lower pressure drop than curved reducer distributor. While the curve round distributor models with T-reducer has exhibited better performance due to smaller pressure drop and optimum phase uniformity.
