The dispersed phase in multiphase flows can be modeled by the population balance model
(PBM). A typical population balance equation (PBE) contains terms for spatial transport …

Abstract The Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) is a multistage centrifugal pump used in
the petroleum industry as an artificial lift method. The ESP usually works with the presence …
