9The effects of non-dimensional parameters on the characteristic curves of a ram pump were evaluated 10 in this study using an experimental model. To do so, after providing dependent and independent 11 parameters using dimensional analysis, effect of each independent parameter was examined on the 12 dependent parameter. Experimental observations showed that relative pumping discharge (q/Q T ), 13 relative wasting discharge (Q/Q T ) and pump efficiency (η) were depended on length to diameter ratio
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.
