Abstract: In some pumping plants several one-way surge tanks are installed to prevent water-column separation in the discharge line caused by failure of power to pumps. This paper describes a method of ...

Abstract: A series of experiments was carried out to investigate transient axial thrust caused by pump starting. Conditions of discharge piping pressure distribution around the impellers and the relation ...

Abstract: An experimental and theoretical study is performed with a single stage pump. The influence of the flow rate, the axial displacement of the impeller, and annular seal clearances on the hydraulic ...
