Abstract:This article considers the application of engineering optimization methods as a way to improve the energy efficiency of centrifugal pumps operated in thermal power plants taking into account the pump load diagram. The authors present an algorithm of engineering optimization of the wetted part of impeller being an individual working body of a centrifugal pump, as well as the results of approbation of the proposed approach for the centrifugal pump KM 65-50-160 designed in two optimized versions taking into accou… Show more
