Performance of a Radial-inlet Impeller Designed on the Basis of Two-dimensional-flow Theory for an Infinite Number of Blades

Irving A. Johnsen, William K Ritter, Rodney J. Anderson

Abstract

Note presenting an investigation of a radial-inlet impeller based on two-dimensional-flow theory to establish correlation between flow theory and impeller performance. The simplifying assumptions of an infinite number of blades and an incompressible fluid were made for the impeller design. Results regarding performance characteristics based on standard overall measurements, performance characteristics based on static-pressure measurements, and hydraulic-efficiency characteristics are provided.
