    Up- Thrust in Vertical Turbine Pumps

    If the discharge piping is full of liquid, during start up, can a thrust balanced Vertical Turbine Pump go in up-thrust?

    Reverse Rotation

    Can running a thrust balanced centrifugal stage in reverse rotation operation, ever go in up-thrust?

    Centrifugal pumps: Viscosity and gas/liquid mixtures

    How does viscosity affects a multistage centrifugal pumps ability to handle air/liquid mixtures. As viscosity increases, can the pump handle more air or less?

    Centrifugal Pumps and Amines

    When sizing centrifugal pumps, do we treat amines as compressible or incompressible? Thanks for this info above. Its helpful.

    Centrifugal Pumps and Amines

    Can multistage centrifugal pumps be used to pump rich amines? Are there any special considerations to be kept in mind when sizing pumps for these applications?

    hydraulic power recovery turbines

    Is there anything I can do to ensure there is no overspeeding?...Maybe use a clutch??

    hydraulic power recovery turbines

    Martin I think your approach is straightforward. A question regarding the horsepower measurement. I am not sure what you mean by " to obtain the motor efficiency (so you can back it out from the total efficiency)and use a wattmeter"...which motor is this? I am planning on using a dyno...

    hydraulic power recovery turbines

    How do we conduct performance tests on hydraulic power recovery turbines? Is there a standard or a document for conduction the same. My main concern is how to measure the KW Output. Thanks

    Dissimilarity Laws in Centrifugal Pumps AND Blowers

    I tried a whole lot of places and I was unsucessful. Any suggestion as to where to proceed?

    Dissimilarity Laws in Centrifugal Pumps AND Blowers

    I am looking for the following paper: "Dissimilarity Laws in Centrifugal Pumps AND Blowers" by Stepanoff and Stahl. Any thoughts on where I can find it?

    Geometric scaling

    Axial thrust

    Geometric scaling

    When we scale centrifugal pumps from a model to the actual scale, how do the thrust values change. I am trying to predict the thrust of the actual scale pump by measuring the thrust of the model.

    Centrifugal pum and viscous effect

    I have 2 centrifugal pumpS having bep at capacities OF 100gpm and 500 gpm respectively. The impellers have the same outer diameter. My question is in viscous applications(say 500cP) which pump should have the least drop in head and flowrate(when comparing BEP IN OIL to BEP IN WATER).

    Axial Thrust and Viscosity (Pumps)

    In centrifugal and axial flow pumps, if we are pumping viscous liquids, does the axial thrust (determined for water) stay the same or does it reduce. If yes, how can we determine the value?

    Flowmeter

    Thank you all you your help. I guess for the info I mentioned above of the vendor, the accuracy will be 0.1 % of the rate, for a turndown ratio of 300:1 with a repeatibility 0.02%.
  17. Vic123

    Flowmeter

    When sizing a turbine flowmeter for an application, what will be the accuracy of a flowmeter when say for example the vendor gives the following info: Repeatability: ± 0.02% typical Turndown Ratio: (Models max. rated flow ÷ min. flow rate) Up to 1,000:1, reduced accuracy...

    NPSH test with Viscous Liquid

    I am looking to test a single stage centrifugal pump for NPSH using a viscous oil instead of water. Would the results be the same as that of water and is there anything I need to be concerned about?

    Sulphide stress cracking

    Can sulphide stress be caused in 304 stainless steel in presence of H2S and chlorides if it is under compressive load?

    NPSH Curve

    I want to test the pump and plot the NPSH curve. Please advice how to go about the process. I have no idea as what to measure and how to go about the process
