Abstract
The design scheme is considered for a gas separator as used in oil extraction for the partial removal of gas from oil entering a submersed pump. Successive approximation is used in determining the characteristics with the use of an experimental factor φ, which incorporates the effects of the inlet section and flow separator on the performance. The calculated characteristics agree satisfactorily with experimental curves for high flow rates.
