The positive displacement pump and the regenerative pump are widely used in the range of low specific speed, $n_s{\leq}100$[rpm, m3/min, m]. The positive displacement pump is not suitable for miniaturization and operation in high rotational speed. The regenerative pump has a problem with large leakage flow and low efficiency. While the centrifugal pump has advantages of high efficiency, miniaturization and high rotational speed, efficiency drops sharply with decrease in specific speed. Therefore the purpose of this study is to design a new type of centrifugal pump that has advantages of centrifugal pumps in operation in low specific speed. The name of this new type of pump was called 'Pipe type centrifugal pump', since the flow path through the impeller is simple circular pipe. Due to the simple shape of impeller, the manufacturing process is simple and cost is low. There is strong jet flow at the outlet of the impeller. This jet induces flow path loss, meridional dynamic pressure loss and mixing loss. Large disk friction makes the efficiency be limitted in the range of low specific speed. Even though the loss and the low efficiency, 'Pipe type centrifugal pump' represents stable performance, affordable pressure ratio and efficiency better than that of other low specific speed pumps.

The objective of present study is to find the interaction between volute and impeller of the centrifugal turbomachinery with rectangular cross-sectional volute. Flow measurement were taken in shrouded impeller with 12 backward type blades by using a five-hole pressure probe. The measurements are carried out in 7 flow rate, respectively. Primary function of a centrifugal turbo machinery volute is to serve the flow from the impeller and diffuser to pipe system. For the off-design conditions, Influence of pressure distortion was shown by these measurements. As a result, It has caused the decrease of total efficiency of centrifugal turbomachinery. We have also taken data to design volute by these measurements.

본 연구는 토네이도와 축류펌프의 원리를 적용하여 마중물 없이 슬러리를 송출할 수 있는 새로운 펌프기술 개발을 목적으로 한다. 개발한 로터형 슬러리 펌프는 전동모터, 구동축 및 커플링, 로터, 임펠러 그리고 흡입 및 송출관으로 구성된다. 청수를 이용한 성능실험에서는 로터의 설계조건에 따른 송출량, 소비 전력량 그리고 흡입관 부압특성에 대해 모터의 회전수를 변수로 검증하였으며, 시멘트를 이용하여 제조한 슬러리의 고형물 농도에 따른 송출량 특성에 대한 검증연구를 수행하였다. 로터의 직경과 높이가 커지면 송출량과 소비되는 전력량은 증가하지만 흡입관 부압은 감소하였으며, 송출량과 부압에 미치는 로터 두께의 영향은 거의 나타나지 않았다. 개발지표로 제시하였던 18 % 이상의 고형물 농도에서도 슬러리의 송출이 가능함을 확인하였다.
