Effects of Volute Design and Number of Impeller Blades on Lateral Impeller Forces and Hydraulic Performance
A comparison is made between the characteristics of the measured lateral impeller forces and the hydraulic performances of a four- and a five-vane impeller, each operating in a spiral volute, a concentric volute, and a double volute. The pump's rotor was supported in magnetic bearings. In addit...
