In this paper, an experimental analysis is carried out for a mini-centrifugal pump, which is fabricated by an advanced manufacturing technology like 3D Printing. A small electric motor is used to drive the pump of 15 cmimpeller diameter, and it is validated for its performance in terms of discharge with the results available in the literature. Further, the performance of the pump is discussed in terms of other parameters. The discharge of the pump is found to be decreased with increasing head.Similarly, the voltage required for the pumping is found to be increasing with the pumping head. The mini-pump used in the study is found to be perform similar to that of a macro-pump with respect to the discharge of the pump.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
