王晓晖, 杨军虎, 夏正廷, et al. Effect of impeller velocity coefficient on parameters ratios between pump and its reverse mode[J]. 2019, 34(2).DOI: 10.13224/j.cnki.jasp.2019.02.026.
In order to study the head ratio and flow rate ratio between pump and turbine mode of pump as turbine (PAT) based on the impeller velocity coefficient
20 single passage impellers with specific speed 23-225 were analyzed based on renormalization group (RNG) k-ε simulation by CFX. The distribution of velocity coefficient was revealed for pump mode and turbine mode
and new head ratio and flow rate ratio between pump and turbine mode based on impeller velocity coefficient were proposed. Results showed that the impeller velocity coefficient of turbine mode was higher than the pump mode. Then 6 industrial PATs were experimented in experiment rig
indicating the result by the this method had less error than the results of Stepanoff
et al. The average errors of head ratio and flow rate ratio were just 5.38% and 5.16%
respectively. The study provides a theoretical basis for the selection and performance prediction of PAT.
