    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.21, No.4, pp. 891-938, 2025, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2024.059903 - 06 May 2025

    Abstract This paper investigates the start-up and shutdown phases of a five-bladed closed-impeller centrifugal pump through experimental analysis, capturing the temporal evolution of its hydraulic performances. The study also predicts the transient characteristics of the pump under non-rated operating conditions to assess the accuracy of various machine learning methods in forecasting its instantaneous performance. Results indicate that the pump’s transient behavior in power-frequency mode markedly differs from that in frequency-conversion mode. Specifically, the power-frequency mode achieves steady-state values faster and exhibits smaller fluctuations before stabilization compared to the other mode. During the start-up phase, as… More >

    Experimental Analysis of Radial Centrifugal Pump Shutdown

    Xiao Sun1, Jiangbo Tong1, Yuliang Zhang2,*, Haibing Cai3, Wen Zhou4, Xiaoqi Jia5, Litao Ou6

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.4, pp. 725-737, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.045541 - 28 March 2024

    Abstract Centrifugal pumps are widely used in the metallurgy, coal, and building sectors. In order to study the hydraulic characteristics of a closed impeller centrifugal pump during its shutdown in the so-called power frequency and frequency conversion modes, experiments were carried to determine the characteristic evolution of parameters such as speed, inlet and outlet pressure, head, flow rate and shaft power. A quasi-steady-state method was also used to further investigate these transient behaviors. The results show that, compared to the power frequency input, the performance parameter curves for the frequency conversion input are less volatile and More >
