Interaction between Impeller and Axial Diffuser of Mixed Flow Pump

Abstract

Topic related to an impeller - diffuser hydraulic interaction is important especially in term of energy transformation and performance parameters. A connection of particular functional parts is one of the most important design factors which determine a shape of performance parameters and efficiency. The stated problem is possible to discuss in two possible ways. In term of internal flow pattern and in term of external pump parameters which are represented by performance curve courses. The contribution deals with the influence of the change of the impeller - axial diffuser interaction on quantitative courses of specific energy and efficiency curves.
