Effects of Flow Rate and Viscosity on Slip Factor of Centrifugal Pump Handling Viscous Oils

Table 1

Viscosity and density of working liquids.

Liquid	Water	Oil 1	Oil 2	Oil 3
Density, 𝜌 (kg/m^3)	1000	839	851	858
Kinetic viscosity, 𝜈 (cSt)	1.0	24.47	48.48	60.7
Nominal viscosity (cSt)	1	24	48	60

1 cSt = 1 mm²/s.
