Performance Evaluation and Dimensional Analysis of Multistage Helicoaxial Pump for Two-Phase Flow

A four stage helicoaxial pump was tested under varying operating conditions. A range of inlet pressures, rotational speeds (3000, 3600 rpm), and gas void fractures (GVFs) were considered for two fluid viscosities. The head developed and power input to run the pump were recorded. Head, power input an...
