Effects of Liquid Density on Jet Pump Performance

Abstract

This research covers the experimental results obtained in the current work. A set of experiments were carried out to study the effect of some parameters on the performance of jet pump. The subject is treated experimentally on a special test rig, with the primary jet water and the secondary different density of salt water. Suction characteristics of a jet pump in different density of salt water and different pressure and different suction pipe sizes were analyzed. Conclusions were drawn by the performance test as follow: size of suction pipe diameter has major influence on the inlet volume of salt water, specific gravity size of salt water has major influence on the trends of the inlet volume of salt water. The conclusion of correlation between the different specific gravity and the inlet volumes of salt water was concluded by curves in this paper.
