Abstract:Abrasive wear is an engineering problem that occurs in the impeller of centrifugal water pumps. The weight loss in the impeller due to abrasive wear leads to a reduction in the efficiency of pumps. If the wear rate can be estimated, the pump impeller can be replaced at the perfect time. The aim of the present experimental study is to investigate the abrasive wear of brass alloy in sand-water mixture. In this study, a mixture of sand-tap water was used with three mixing ratios (1:40, 1:80 and 1:120) and four di… Show more
