Abstract: The vortex, the velocity, and the pressure distribution along the vane surfaces are calculated for two impellers, one having six vanes and the other twelve vanes. The vanes were of logarithmic ...

Abstract: The optimum number of vanes for a given centrifugal pump or blower cannot be estimated by Pfleiderer’s equation because of its limitations. In the present investigation, Stodola’s effect is ...

Abstract: Fully drained, load-controlled laboratory model tests and their numerical simulations are presented. The tests were performed on adequately instrumented, small scale physical models of floating stone column group foundations ...
