The invention is a two-phase compression device and a process which provides energy to fluids including an essentially liquid fluid and an essentially gaseous fluid or a fluid having a liquid phase and a gas phase, at least one of the fluids or phases being miscible in at least one other of the fluids or phases which allows mixing of the fluids or phases. A device in accordance with the invention includes at least one two-phase compression element having at least one inlet stage and at least one outlet stage, each one of the stages having an impeller and a diffuser, which mixes the essentially liquid fluid and the essentially gaseous fluid or the phases and which provides energy to each of the essentially liquid and gaseous fluids or phases with the mixture provided from the at least one two-phase compression element being a pressurized liquid or essentially a pressurized liquid.
A compressor which provides energy to fluids including an essentially liquid fluid and an essentially gaseous fluid, at least one of the fluids being miscible in at least one other of the fluids which allows mixing of the fluids, comprising:
A process which provides energy to fluids including and essentially gaseous fluid and an essentially liquid fluid, at least one of the fluids being miscible in at least one of the other fluids, and which mixes the fluids, comprising:
