Comparison of Centrifugal Pump Performances for Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluids

In the current study the effects on pump performances of a conventional centrifugal pump for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid were experimentally studied. The study aimed to compare the pump characteristics for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid. The working fluids are water, aqueous sugar solution, glycerin solution, muddy solution and pulp solution. The pump characteristics with high viscosity fluids were different. The operating efficiency for the sugar and glycerin solutions were decreased to $8.1\%$ and $12.9\%$ than that of water. The head reductions of the muddy solution for different concentration ratios were decreased to $7.97\%,\;15.11\%$ and $24.87\%$ than that of water And the head reductions of the pulp solution for different concentration ratios were decreased to $11.87\%,\;19.79\%$ md $36.81\%$ than that of water.
