The paper presents the comparison of the performance of the three-blade centrifugal pump operating in sewage water in the function of time. Two conditions of the analysed pump were investigated: a new one and one after a long period of utilization. The main objects of research were the impeller, due to its enormous wear, and the L–shape wear ring. Three dimensional optical scanning was applied to reflect the real geometrical parameters of the analysed pump. The investigations were conducted by means of numerical simulations and a real test. The achieved results indicate the impact of the wear on the performance curves of middle specific speed sewage pump.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
