Hello all. I'm a third-year novice student in CFD. Been using Fluent since it was the first software I was introduced to. Also whatever I know is self-taught through Edx and youtube. Recently I have been assigned a project in which the nut on the impeller shaft of a centrifugal pump is replaced with a nose cap of varying profiles to check if it has any effect on the vibration that the casing of the pump sustains. Along with this experimental work I probably even have to do a simulation to verify my results. Can someone help me with this? Any tips will be appreciated.
I'm a student attempting to produce an on-paper design for a centrifugal pump for a rocket engine, so I'm just looking for a few book recommendations, and google hasn't been a huge amount of help in finding many.
I'm intending on understanding the theory of pumps as much as I can to produce a high-level design (e.g. calculate impeller size, specific speed etc.) and then move into the more detailed analysis/design using Vista CPD and CFX simulations
So far I've found the Pump Handbook, which has been good so far, but any more recommendations would be greatly appreciated
This is not a problem as such but is something I’d like to know more about.
On the site I’m currently working on they have two centrifugal cooling water pumps which are fed from a tank upstairs. The pipework comes down, goes beyond the point of the suction nozzle/inlet of the pump, then comes back up again and into the pump.
What is the idea behind going beyond the pump first, only to come back up again? (If any).
Thanks in advance, Brad [UK].
Hello all,
I am doing an experiment with some simulation software called petroskills and I have some questions.

Tobee's Mission Magnum I Pump 8x6x14 and wet parts are made from Hard Iron or High Chrome alloy materials that they are 100% interchangeable with original Nov Mission Magnum 8x6x14 Pumps and Parts.
The Mission MAGNUM I has been engineered for the toughest jobs in drilling, production, well-servicing, and industrial applications.
The revolutionary design of the MAGNUM I provides supreme-duty performance in all types of fluid pumping operations. Although it offers greater capacity and higher heads, the MAGNUM I remains the competitive pump of choice for aggressive applications.
The MAGNUM I is more powerful, more durable, and easier to maintain than any conventional pump in use today.
The Magnum has an open impeller design that contains wide-tipped vanes and a more tangential circumference of the suction allowing the pump to create a smoother flow pattern when handling abrasive fluids. The Magnum is available in Magnachrome™, hard iron, stainless steel, and aluminum bronze fluid ends. The pumps can be unitized with electric motors, diesel engines, and hydraulic motors (horizontal, vertical, or close-coupled configuration).
Typical Applications
• Barite, ferric oxide, and mineral oil
• Base drilling muds
• Glass fibers
• Sugar processing
• Ash or coal conveyers
• Cement
• Mine de-watering
• Lime slurries
• Kaolin clay
• Crystalline forms
According to the different working conditions, Mission centrifugal pumps can be used as Frac discharge pump, Frac suction pump, Oil drilling centrifugal pump, electric centrifugal transfer pump, Skid mounted mixing pump, Transfer pump, Trash pump, Grinding pump, Circulating mud pump, Centrifugal sludge pump, Drilling fluid centrifugal pump, Horizontal directional drilling pump, Denver pump, Filling pump, Feeding pump, etc
