Abstract: Reduction of station pressure to mean sea level (MSL) is a difficult procedure. In general, the temperature structure of the fictitious air column between station height and MSL is not known and has to be estimated somehow. ...

Abstract: Suction performance, pressure rise, and efficiency for four different inducers are examined with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and experiments performed with 18,000 rpm and 24,000 rpm. The studies originate ...

Abstract: Although the increase of suction performance is the primary objective when applying inducers to centrifugal pumps and the combined head of inducer and main impeller is finally to be judged, it is helpful for the designer ...
