| Summary: | backswept design. Measurements were made using a laser-two- due to leakage in the clearance region between the impeller efficiency of the shrouded pump was, however, lower than the energy within the passages was substantially lower. The flow calculation was made. flow field within a centrifugal pump. The pump had a focus (L2F) velocimetry system, both within the rotating for the unshrouded case. In addition, the turbulence kinetic impeller passages and in the pump volute. Both design investigated. A comparison was made with a previous study, levels were measured. The flow field within the impeller necessary to permit optical access. Velocimetry measurements operating conditions and off-design conditions were passages for the shrouded case was notably more uniform than shroud and the pump casing; a rather large passage was shrouded impeller of 254 mm diameter with five blades of the same pump, with an open face impeller. The absolute This study provides laser velocimetry measurements of the unshrouded version. This was attributed primarily to losses velocity, relative velocity, and turbulence kinetic energy were successfully made in the clearance region, and a leakage wherein measurements of the flow field were completed within |
