One of the key aspects of a hydronic mechanical system is the pump. If the pump isn’t designed or selected correctly, the entire system will not function. Using general principles and rules of thumb ...

Software P-Library allows anyone to develop pump curves for any centrifugal pump. The program creates a file that can be used in the Pump-Flo selection and Pipe-Flo system design software. According ...

Large volumes of fluid are typically transported in sewage treatment plants. Axial flow pumps are commonly used in such environments because they are suitable for high-capacity fluid transfer. They ...

In this study, numerical simulation was employed to predict the performance and internal flow characteristics of the inlet of an axial-flow pump by assigning an absolute flow angle to the inlet guide ...

Boiler feed pumps (BFPs) play a major role in the capacity and heat rate of a power-generating unit. As such, they merit routine performance testing to assess their condition and trend deficiencies to ...

A revised characteristics curve provides a method for optimizing jet pump designs by taking into account the influence of solution gas and the different densities of the power and produced fluids. For ...

Typically, when talk turns to power plant pumps, boiler feed and cooling water pumps immediately dominate the discussion. And that’s as it should be: these pumps are critical to a plant’s thermal ...

Based on a presentation to the 57th Southwestern Petroleum Short Course, Lubbock, Tex., Apr. 26-29, 2010. As shown with a nodal analysis, the use of wellhead chokes on electrical submersible-pumped ...
