Abstract:Mixed-flow pumps, which amalgamate centrifugal and axial-flow attributes, play a pivotal role in various sectors due to their high efficiency and versatility. This paper, utilizing numerical simulation and experimental validation, addresses the critical role of impeller blade count in mixed-flow pump performance. It investigates the effect of the number of impeller blades on the energy dissipation mechanism and inlet flow pattern of a mixed-flow pump. The results reveal that dynamic and static interference eff… Show more
