Impeller Geometry

Most of the pumps for sewage transport have a special impeller geometry in order to avoid operational disturbances by clogging. The almost exclusively used single stage machines particularly are equipped with single-blade impellers. With this impeller geometry a strongly uneven pressure field along the perimeter of the pump casing can be expected. The resulting periodically unsteady flow forces affect the impeller and produce strong radial deflections of the pump shaft. In this contribution the experimental investigation of the dynamic behavior of the pump rotor as a consequence of the transient hydrodynamic forces is described. To verify the calculated rotor oscillations measurements were performed at several rotating speeds and at different volume flow rates. The pump which before has been investigated numerical was equipped with several sensors. The deflections of the pump rotor were measured with two proximity sensors. The measurement of the vibration accelerations at the pump casing showed the effects of the transient hydrodynamic stimulation forces. Measurements of the static pressure in the casing allowed a correlation between the rotor oscillations and the pressure fluctuations produced by the single-blade impeller.

Theoretical Results

This paper studied the air film pressure field (AFPF) characteristics of aerostatic thrust bearing, in which we proposed the measurement equipment for the 2D AFPF and successfully verified the theoretical simulation results. The experimental results agreed well with the theoretical results. However, in the area between the distribution circle of orifice to the air film outlet boundary, the experimental air film pressure (AFP) was slightly higher than the theoretical one. While for the area between the distribution circle of orifice and the center of the bearing, it showed the opposite law. Besides, the increase ratio of the AFP was close to that of the external load with its increase.

The results of an experimental investigation carried out to control the base pressure in a suddenly expanded axi-symmetric passage is presented in this paper. An active control in the form of micro jets is employed to control the base pressure. Air injection at four locations at the base, symmetric to the nozzle axis is used as the active control. The jet Mach number studied and the area ratios are 1.87, and 2.56, 3.24, 4.84, and 6.25. The L/D ratio is varied from 10 to 1. The experiments are conducted at a fixed level of under expansion (i.e. Pe/Pa = 1.5). In addition to base pressure, wall pressure field along the duct was also measured. As high as 80 percent increase in base pressure was achieved for certain combination of parameters of the present study. The minimum Length-todiameter ratio of the duct required is L/D = 2 for area ratios 6.25 and 4.84. Whereas, this requirement is L/D = 1 for area ratios 2.56 and 3.24.
