    World Pumps: Survey of Axial Flow Impellers

    1) There are two main types of axial flow impellers - forward curved and backward curved. Forward curved impellers are the most common type used in axial flow pumps and fans. 2) A theoretical model is derived for analyzing pump and turbine operations using forward curved impellers based on Euler fundamentals for axial machines. 3) In pump mode, the theoretical model makes assumptions that the absolute flow into the impeller is swirl-free, there is zero flow incidence at blade entry, and the flow areas at impeller exit and entry are identical. Velocity triangles are used to analyze the internal flows.

    A theoretical model is derived here for
    pump and turbine operations using
    forward curved impellers. The model relies
    on Euler fundamentals for axial machines
    as suggested by Singh and Nestmann6.

    Pump operation
    The construction of the velocity triangles in
    pump mode involves certain assumptions,
    namely, that the absolute flow entry to the
    impeller is swirl-free, and that there is zero
    flow incidence at the blade entry. Further,
    the deflection of the relative velocity at the
    blade exit is neglected, which is a reason-
    able assumption provided the entry is
    incidence free, as pointed out by Dixon for
    compressor cascade results5. In addition,
    the flow areas at the exit and the entry are
    identical, making the axial flow velocities
    identical as the compressibility effects of
    the working fluid, which is liquid, have
    been neglected.
