O presente trabalho mostra uma proposta de criação de modelo de previsão de desempenho e comparação com dados experimentais, relativos ao desempenho de bombas centrífugas convencional e do tipo submersa, operando com fluidos viscosos. Para a construção do modelo, partiu-se das equações diferenciais da conservação da massa e quantidade de movimento para o escoamento no interior dos canais do rotor, usando abordagem unidimensional. Com o auxílio de dados experimentais, a transferência e transformação de energia no rotor, no difusor e outros elementos constituintes das bombas foram quantificadas e modeladas, compondo todo processo que ocorre em um estágio do equipamento. Para ajustar e validar o modelo teórico, foi construído um aparato laboratorial para realização de testes específicos em uma bomba centrífuga radial convencional e em dois diferentes modelos de BCSs, modelos GN 7000 e J350N, operando com água e glicerina como fluidos de trabalho. Foram adquiridos cerca de seiscentos pontos operacionais (vazão, pressão, rotação, torque e temperatura). Os testes abrangeram o seguinte universo de aplicação para as BCSs: rotação entre 1800 a 3500 rpm, vazões entre zero e 14.000 bbl/d, viscosidades de 1 cP, 60 cP, 270 cP, 720 cP e 1020 cP. Os resultados do modelo foram comparados com os valores medidos em laboratório nas três bombas testadas. Finalmente, foram comparadas também as curvas de desempenho das BCSs, obtidas no laboratório, com as curvas geradas a partir dos fatores de correção obtidos no ábaco do Hydraulics Institute-USA / Abstract: In the oil industry, when artificial lift using Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESP) is considered, there is a need to determine their performance for displacing oils of medium to high viscosity. This work proposes a model that is able to predict the performance of conventional centrifugal pumps and ESPs when pumping heavier oils (meaning oils of high viscosities). Data from experiments carried with conventional centrifugal pumps and ESPs displacing fluids of viscosity ranging from 1 cP to 1020 cP, model results and results provided by other researchers and commonly used in design procedures, were taken into account for comparisons and to provide insights for the model development. In some cases, specific and detailed measurements of pressure at different positions along the pump, from the inlet eye to the discharge section, were taken. They contributed to the model development and to understand the mechanics of the energy transfer and the conversion processes that the flow undergoes along a pump single stage or throughout the entire equipment. To obtain the experimental data a set-up was built, where one conventional centrifugal pump and two ESPs were tested. The test fluids were water (1 cP) and glycerin in different temperatures to vary the viscosity from 60 cP to 1020 cP. A heat pump and a heat exchanger were connected to the pumping system for that. The experimental results, data found in the literature and the benchmark results published by the manufacturers for pumps operating with water were compared with results calculated by the proposed model to validate it. Finally, a comparison between the experimental results and the data calculated using the procedures of the Hydraulic Institute - USA, to calculate centrifugal pump performance for viscous fluids, is presented / Mestrado / Explotação / Mestre em Ciências e Engenharia de Petróleo
