Abstract
As to the centrifugal pump for slurry, the effects of solids particles on the performance of the pump have been extensively researched. It is essential to understand the effects of solids on the pump performance well in order to obtain the performance of centrifugal pump for handling slurries. Some existing correlation equations to predict the performance are analyzed and summarized in this paper. A new simple correlation equation to predict the head ratio for pumps handling solids has been developed. The simple equation has been validated by the experiment data published in the related literature. The results by the simple equation are compared with ones available in the literature. The result shows that the simple equation is in good agreement with the experimental data, and it can be used to predict the performance of centrifugal pump for slurry.
