The performance of the pump and the flow conditions around the impellers were investigated experimentally and the following results were obtained. （1）The main impeller contributes to the flow interaction between the inducer and the main impeller. （2）The rotational speeds of both impellers can be controlled independently in order to suppress simultaneously the cavitation not only in the main impeller, but also in the inducer.展开更多
文摘To suppress the cavitation in the impellers and to make the turbo-pump lives longer, the inducer was separated from the main impeller and both impellers were driven independently. The performance of the pump and the flow conditions around the impellers were investigated experimentally and the following results were obtained. （1）The main impeller contributes to the flow interaction between the inducer and the main impeller. （2）The rotational speeds of both impellers can be controlled independently in order to suppress simultaneously the cavitation not only in the main impeller, but also in the inducer.
