On the Preliminary Design and Performance Prediction of Centrifugal Turbopumps—Part 1A reduced-order model for the preliminary design and performance prediction of radial turbopumps is illustrated. The model e
The results obtained in this study are useful for the design of a geothermal heating system coupled with energy storage. The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, three models (system model, operation model, and optimization model) are described in detail, including ...
Photothermal energy conversion was recorded, showing a maximum value of 23%. Results indicate that a flat-plate solar water heater with a polymer thermal absorber in an RSioaf design can be an effective alternative to an SWH with a metal thermal absorber. Its performance can be improved with ...
A meanline approach is used to rapidly design and analyze radial and mixed-flow compressors for single or for multiple stages. COMPAL®is used to design the compressor stage, analyze performance, refine parameters with data reduction, and model the machine according to a number of performance mo...
CAE Software for Radial Turbine Design A meanline approach is used to design radial and mixed-inflow turbines. RITAL™ is used to design the turbine stage, analyze performance, refine parameters with data reduction, and model the machine according to several performance models. RITAL's unique De...

machine (hydraulic head and efficiency as functions of the flow coefficient) proved to be in excellent agreement with the model predictions, thus successfully confirming the validity of the proposed model as an effective tool for rapid and efficient design of high-performance centrifugal turbopumps.Luc...
Sizing centrifugal pumps Normal flowrate and rated flow-rate. To define the normal and rated flowrates, refer to the heat and mass balance of your project. Normal flow-rate is the flow at 100% capacity. Rated flowrate is the design margin that is added ...
The present research effort deals with simplified theoretical models for the preliminary design and performances assessment of centrifugal pumps for liquid rocket propulsion. These models have been developed within the Concurrent Design Facility, under development at the Italian Aerospace Research Centre (...
