To examine the effect of pressure differences and gas void fractions(GVF)on volume flow rates and power consumptions
an experimental investigation was conducted under different operating conditions based on a twin-screw multiphase pump prototype. Experimental results show that
for liquid pumping only
the flow rate decreased by 3.7% and the power consumption increased by 45.3% when the pressure difference increased from 0.4 MPa to 1.0 MPa. For multiphase fluid pumping
at the pressure difference of 0.4 MPa and 1.0 MPa
the flow rate decreased by 18.7% and 25.7% with an increase of gas void fraction from 20% to 90%
respectively
and the power consumption decreased by 2.5% and 9.3%
respectively. The theoretical simulation results agree reasonably well with the experimental data at GVF from 0 to 80%.
