THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF INCOMPRESSIBLE FLOW - THROUGH A RADIAL-INLET CENTRIFUGAL IMPELLER AT VARIOUS WEIGHT FLOWS I - SOLUTION BY A MATRIX METHOD AND COMPARISON WITH AN APPROXIMATE-METHOD

摘要

A method for the solution of the incompressible, no viscous flow through a centrifugal impeller, including the inlet region, is presented. Several numerical solutions are obtained for four weight flows through an impeller at one operating speed. The results are presented in a series of figures showing streamlines and relative velocity contours. A comparison is made with the results obtained by using a rapid approximate method of analysis.
