M.S. Research Scholar Interview Questions and Answers

Yes, it is possible to pump a two-phase fluid. However, there are pros and cons to consider.

• Pros: Can transport a larger volume of fluid compared to pumping only liquid phase, can handle mixtures with varying liquid-to-gas ratios

• Cons: Requires specialized equipment to handle two-phase flow, increased risk of cavitation and erosion in the pump

• Example: Pumping a mixture of water and steam in a power plant condenser system
