Abstract
The flow characteristics of solid-liquid two-phase mixtures in a flexible hose are investigated using the experiments. Also the performance of the lifting pump for the offshore mining test are estimated. This centrifugal pump with the total head of 55 m is for lifting the minerals on the seabed. The inlet of this pump is connected to the flexible hose, which is attached to the miner collector. The flexible hose is specially manufactured for the use in mining test with 100 mm in diameter. The results show the performance of the lifting pump is good for the offshore test.
