Abstract

Abstract Centrifugal pumps play an important role in the fluid engineering industry due to their high energy conversion capabilities. It is important to understand form to achieve a successful pump design. In the scope of this research paper, a novel approach to the performance evaluation of a centrifugal pump was used. A precise design of the pump components should be considered a key factor for increasing the pressure-induced performance. The aim of this investigation is to produce an innovative pump and to compare its actual performance with the results derived from numerical analysis. A novel pump was designed, analyzed, manufactured and then tested. Test results indicate that the numerical efficiency was close to 91.72 vol.-% of the virtual experimental efficiency thanks to our precision approach. The operational parameters of the pump are illustrated, and crucial points emphasized to facilitate an understanding of the decision-making process. This novel method may be beneficial for those looking for alternative pump designs.
