This article presents the results of computational studies for different options of inlet design in an intermediate stage of a BB3 type multi-stage pump intended for transportation of crude oil and other similar liquids. Hydraulic losses in the flow part elements are compared for three different options of the inlet blades in the return channels of an intermediate stage.
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.
