Abstract

The spurt vacuum pump is widely used to transfer sludge and slurry, and to control flow rate in a variety of processing fields, such as the oil, chemical, and fiber industries. The efficiency of the pump depends on the design parameters of the impeller, such as the number of blades, and the blade angle. In this study, the effect of the configuration of the impeller discharge angle of a spurt vacuum pump, which influences total head, shaft power, and efficiency, was numerically investigated using the commercial code, ANSYS CFX ver. 16.1. In addition, the performance of the pump was evaluated on the basis of the correlations between the total head, pump efficiency, and pressure distribution.
