EFFECT OF PARTICLE DIAMETER SIZE ON INTERNAL FLOW CHARACTERISTICS OF A SMALL SEWAGE PUMP

Abstract
In this paper, based on the Mixture model, the numerical computations of the internal flow field in a sewage pump are carried out. Through numerical simulation, the turbulence flow characteristics in the sewage pump are obtained. Results show that when the particle diameter is 0.10 mm, the solid-phase concentration on the volute surface is high, and the wear is more severe. When the particle diameters are 0.15 mm and 0.20 mm, the solid-phase concentration on the volute surface is significantly higher, especially when the over-current cross-section enlarges constantly.
