Impeller entrance pre whirl characteristics research

Abstract

In order to study the effect of inlet port on the pump performance, the impeller inlet part, should be analyzed for impeller is able to extend the function of water flow to the front of the impeller for a long distance. Impeller flow of pre swirl flow is due to selection of least resistance into the impeller, but the pre swirl in the flow direction according to the impeller blade entrance angle, and the circumferential velocity of flow. The study found that lies in the external characteristic of the pump will be fell when the off-design, but in the case of large flow impeller and impeller in the direction of the front entrance fluid pre whirl steering is on the contrary, when this with little traffic is quite different .this article will study the occurrence, development, and the mechanism of the influence of flow field.
