The design improvement and test research of a centrifugal pump
Abstract
Based on Prof. Wu's three-dimensional flow theory, the design improvement of a pipe inline pump has been done for the first time. The test results are as follows: the efficiency of the pump increases from 68.5 percent to 72.9 percent at design capacity and the best efficiency of the redesign pump is about 75 percent. It is verified that three-dimensional flow theory has great potentiality to improve pump design.
