this paper presents the effect of high viscosity oil and two-phase foamy-oil flow on the performance of a single stage centrifugal pump. as a part of this, the applicability of a pipe viscometer to determine the foamy oil viscosity is investigated. unlike previous studies, a sealed fluid tank is used in a closed flow loop to allow conditioning the two-phase mixture to create foamy-oil. furtherm...

Now a day centrifugal pumps are vital components of industries. Certainly, one of the most important specifications of centrifugal pumps are the performance curves. In the present work, performance curves of a centrifugal pumps are obtained by Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and as an outcome, CFD results compare by practical curves. At the first step impeller and volute are designed with tw...

This paper deals with the design and performance analysis of centrifugal pump. In this paper, centrifugal pump is analyzed by using a single-stage end suction centrifugal pump. Two main components of a centrifugal pump are the impeller and the casing. The impeller is a rotating component and the casing is a stationary component. In centrifugal pump, water enters axially through the impeller eye...

abstract: impeller trimming is a proper way to alter the performance of centrifugal pump with a constant speed so as to meet the demand on the specified flow rate and head in pumping systems. the affinity law accounting for the impeller trimming is the key relation to determine the pump performance with a trimmed impeller. there seems no experimental study dealing with such an affinity law for ...

-Changing some geometric characteristic of the impeller in centrifugal pumps improves their performance. It is known that blade exit angle plays very important role in the performance of a centrifugal pump. To investigate effect of blade exit angle on the performance of centrifugal pump by means of experiment is very expensive and lengthy process. Due to expensive and lengthy process, it can be...

A prototype of a non-occlusive pressure-regulated blood pump (M-pump) was evaluated in-vitro for safety in a comparative study with the roller and centrifugal pumps. The M-pump consists of collapsible tubing of unique design wrapped under tension around a rotor without a stator. The prototype M-pumps were tested in vitro to evaluate performance with respect to flow/ pressure characteristics, he...

The increased popularity of centrifugal pumps is due to largely to the comparatively recent development of high speed electric motors, steam turbines and internal combustion engines.To improve the performance of centrifugal pumps by studying the key components like impeller to find the optimum conditions using software. A literature review and lots of development in Computational CFD motivated ...

A group of empirical equations were developed in order to estimate the performance curves (H Q, n Q, P -Q, NPSHr -Q) of a centrifugal pump, using quite small amount of pumps geometric data. The results of the present study prove that centrifugal pumps performance curves direct estimation could be accomplished without using complex mathematical models. Furthermore more, all-basic parameters affe...

the goal of this research is the derivation of method for evaluation of efficiency improvement potential for district heating systems with focus on variable speed centrifugal pump. the effectiveness of the usage of the proportional pressure control is compared with the constant pressure control. this is why, energy calculation analyses have been realized for variable speed centrifugal pumps, an...
