... production, fluid level, pump intake and horsepower calculations are shown. The new approach uses a wave equation model with iteration on viscous damping paired with a traveling valve and standing valve calculation. Pump fillage and fluid load lines are calculated, which enables calculation of mechanical...

... developed for each pump stage and compared with the stage-specific speed. The effects of viscosity and operating speed on flow, head, and horsepower were observed. An increase in viscosity deteriorates pump performance, while an increase in rotational speed reduces the rate of deterioration; therefore...
