Abstract

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effect of a rotor design on the performance characteristics of a slurry pump using the tornado principle. The slurry pump differs considerably in terms of construction as well as operating principle when compared to the conventional centrifugal pump. The design parameters of the cross-shaped rotor included the diameter, thickness and height. The total head, shaft and water powers, and pump efficiency as a function of flow rate were compared with the design parameter. It was found that as the rotor diameter and height increase, the efficiency increases, whereas, an increase in the rotor thickness decreases the efficiency. In the rotor design condition of this study, the specific area and efficiency of the maximum height rotor were, respectively, smaller and higher than those of maximum diameter rotor.

원심펌프와 구조 및 작동 원리가 다른 토네이도 원리를 적용한 슬러리 펌프의 성능특성에 미치는 로터 설계형상의 영향에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 십자 구조인 로터의 설계변수는 직경, 높이 및 두께로 설정하였으며, 설계변수에 따라 성능특성을 비교하였다. 로터의 직경과 높이가 커지면 펌프효율이 증가하는 반면에, 로터의 두께가 증가하면 효율은 감소하였다. 본 연구의 설계조건에서 높이가 최대인 로터가 직경이 최대인 경우에 비해 비면적은 약간 작지만 펌프효율은 더 높게 나타났다.
