Factors Affecting Pump Performance- An Insight into Research and Investigation
Journal Title: International Journal of Research and Review - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Different geometrical parameters such as slot radial position (Rs), slot height (hs) and slot inclination angle (θs) affects pump performance. Many investigators have carried out experiments and simulation studies to optimize the parameters affecting pump performance. Current review summarizes research and investigation on pumps and factors affecting pump performance. Studies by various researchers confirm that with increasing the slot height, the impeller head decreased. For proper selection of a pump, it is important to have proper understanding of design restrictions, operating conditions of the irrigation system, and required flexibility in system operation. Series configurations are used for very high heads and parallel are used in high flow rate applications. Also studies indicated that that the friction effect on centrifugal pump can be reduced by properly studying the impeller friction losses, volute friction losses and disk friction losses.
