7. Performance degradation coefficients

Various expressions are used to represent the degradation of pump performance in the presence of two-phase flows. Performance is generally expressed in relation to the single-phase performance assumed to be known.

In this section, results are obtained using water and air as constituents of the two-phase mixture.

7.1 Definitions

Visit pressure (or height) decay rate, denoted ψdp corresponds to the ratio between the two-phase height coefficients...
