(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
Pump Cavitation: Various NPSHR Criteria, NPSHA Margins, Impeller Life Expectancy
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
This tutorial deals with pump cavitation, discussing various net positive suction head required (NPSHR) criteria, net positive suction head available (NPSHA) margins and impeller life expectancy. It gives an introduction ...
A Review Of NSS Limitations: New Opportunities
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
Specifications of some pump users limit the suction specific speed (Nss) with the objective of selecting more reliable centrifugal pumps. This limitation is based on a statistical evaluation of pump failures published by ...
Validation Of Numerical Procedure For Assessment Of Centrifugal Pump Cavitation Erosion
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
This paper presents validation of a novel method for assessment of the centrifugal pump cavitation erosion with two configurations of a model feed centrifugal pump: with thru shaft, and Cantilever impeller. The method ...
