Abstract: Centrifugal slurry pump designed for handling solid–liquid flow experiences performance reduction and shorter service life due to uneven localized erosive wear of the wetted parts. In this work, three-dimensional (3D) ...

Abstract: Hydraulic turbines are subjected to erosion due to suspended sediments, which diminishes their performance and service life. The present study has been carried out to study the sediment erosion behavior of WC-10Co-4.4Cr ...

Abstract: The purpose of owner‐directed acceleration is to reach a certain milestone, maybe the completion of the project, before a certain deadline. What activities have to be accelerated and what the terms of payment to the ...

Abstract: The materials used for the slurry transportation system experience erosion wear due to the impact of suspended solid particles. In the present experimental investigation, a large size slurry pot tester was used to investigate ...

Abstract: Hydraulic turbines are subjected to erosion due to suspended sediments, which diminishes their performance and service life. The present study has been carried out to study the sediment erosion behavior of WC-10Co-4.4Cr ...

Abstract: Material loss due to erosion is a serious problem associated with the flow of solid-liquid mixtures. In the present work, erosion wear tests have been carried out in a slurry pot tester for ...

Abstract: The off-design operation of Francis turbines results in the onset of flow instabilities. These instabilities lead to severe pressure pulsations, power swings, fatigue damage, and torque fluctuations in the turbine unit. ...

Abstract: A reduced scaled-down hydraulic turbine test setup has been designed. The test setup is made to investigate the mitigation of pressure pulsations like the rotating vortex rope (RVR) and its formation and problems related ...
