A Novel Slurry Jet Pump

该研究和开发计划的目标是为工业和科学界提供改进的性能和侵蚀分析工具；并制定设计标准，制造和商业化的可靠的浆料喷射泵的高性能和耐用性。为了实现这些目标，开发了一个综合的数值模拟程序来评估泥浆喷射泵中的颗粒输送和侵蚀特性。一种参数化设计正在开发中，以确定一系列原型设计。为了验证和改进数值模拟模型，还进行了实验评估，以量化抽水性能和侵蚀特性。根据改进的模型和实验数据，一种高效、耐腐蚀的泥浆喷射泵将被设计出来，用于后续的工业商业化。

The objectives of this research and development program are to provide an improved performance and erosion analysis tool for the industrial and scientific communities; and to develop design criteria for the manufacture and commercialization of a reliable slurry jet pump of high performance and durability. To meet these objectives, a comprehensive numerical simulation program was developed for evaluating particle transport and erosion characteristics in a slurry jet pump. A parametric design is being developed to identify a family of prototype designs. An experimental evaluation is also performed to quantify pumping performance and erosion characteristics for the validation and improvement of the numerical simulation model. With the improved model and experimental data, an efficient, erosion-tolerant, slurry jet pump will be designed for a follow-on commercialization by industry.
