A 200 HP, 635 gpm capacity multiphase flow twin-screw pump was tested with inlet pressure varying from 15 psig to 100 psig at gas void fraction (GVF) varying from 0% to 100% to validate the model. A new model is proposed to study the leakage flow in the twin screw pump. Adiabatic compressible flow is assumed in the circumferential clearance. The acceleration of the two-phase flow is taken into account in the new model. The change of Mach number of the leakage flow in the clearance and the possibility of choked flow at the outlet of the clearance was studied. Model provided important information about pressure distribution across the screw length, volumetric efficiency of the pump, and chocked flow condition. Model verification using experimental data concluded the paper.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1115\/1.4038080","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,3]],"date-time":"2017-10-03T19:31:44Z","timestamp":1507059104000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1115\/crossmarkpolicy-asme","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Multiphase Flow Performance Prediction Model for Twin-Screw Pump"],"prefix":"10.1115","volume":"140","author":[{"given":"Peng","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77840 e-mail:"}]},{"given":"Abhay","family":"Patil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77840 e-mail:"}]},{"given":"Gerald","family":"Morrison","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77840 e-mail:"}]}],"member":"33","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,24]]},"reference":[{"unstructured":"Chan, E., 2006, \u201cWet-Gas Compression in Twin-Screw Multiphase Pumps,\u201d Master's thesis, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX.http:\/\/oaktrust.library.tamu.edu\/bitstream\/handle\/1969.1\/ETD-TAMU-1178\/CHAN-THESIS.pdf?sequence=1","key":"2019100613422763200_bib1"},{"unstructured":"Cooper, P., Prang, A.
