Therefore, these pumps are called axial flow pumps. An axial flow pump provides a relatively high discharge (flow rate) at a relatively short head (vertical distance). These pumps are generally employed for large volume flows over small delivery heads. Axial pumps are used to propel incompressible fluids. #3 Mixed Flow Pump 3.8 mixed flow pump type of pump which combines some of the features of both centrifugal and the axial flow pump and in which head is developed partly by the centrifugal force and partly by the lift of the vanes on the water 3.9 net positive suction head-NPSH (hsv) As the name implies, in a mixed flow pump, the fluid flows mixing both radial and axial properties. So, that is a tradeoff between axial and radial pumps. Mixed pumps operate at high flow rates with a decent increase in the head. Classification of Centrifugal Pumps Based on Number of Stages Axial and Radial Flow •Axial Flow Pump -The impeller pushes the liquid in a direction parallel to the pump shaft. -Most of the pressure is developed propelling or lifting the vanes on the liquid. 12 Axial and Radial Flow Continued….. •Radial Flow Pump: -Pressure is developed principally by centrifugal force action. Asthe flow through a centrifugal pump increases, itdevelops less headbecause ofincreased friction losses and turbulence within the pump. Theshape ofthe head capacity curve is determined bythe type ofpump impellerused. Figures1.1and 1.2showhead-capacitycurves typical ofa radial flow design.

Engineering class I and class II tests (former classes B and C) will be the subject of a further standard. A mixed flow pump is a centrifugal pump with a mixed flow impeller. The specific speeds lie between 35 and 80 rpm for low-speed mixed flow pumps and between 80 and 160 rpm for higher-speed mixed flow pumps (in special cases even higher). Mixed flow pumps cover the transition range between radial flow pumps and axial flow pumps (e. g. propeller Chapter 3 Centrifugal and Axial Pumps - Free download as Powerpoint Presentation (.ppt), PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or view presentation slides online.
