RE: Effect of solids in pumping liquid
In PUMP HANDBOOK, third edition by Igor J. Karassik et al, see the Section 9.16 "Solids Pumping" from page 9.321 through 9.376. There you can find, among others, Solids effect on centrifugal pumps, Wear mechanisms and materials, Construction of solids-handling pumps.
I hope this can be of some help to you.

PS: does the thread about he viscosity correction have anything to do with this? If so, are we talking slurries?

RE: Effect of solids in pumping liquid
Depends:
If you are talking about a very litle amount with no continue pumping fluid with solids. Very litle will be less than 2 or 3% by weight, less that GE 1.02. In this case , the effect is mainly mechanically on pump. You will go with low rpm, and try to use harder materials on wear wetted components.
The other case is hydrotransport, in the case you should pumping
a large amount of solids, means 3 to 60-70% of solids by weight.
In this case , the effect is mechanically, hydraulic on pump and system. If it is the case, it better that you provide all fluid data to better understanding your question.
I hope this helps.
