“…They investigated three different angles (14 , 18 , and 22 ) and thicknesses and found that 1 mm tip thickness gave better pressure rise compared to 2 mm and 3 mm. Mekhail et al 52 conducted experiments and CFD analysis to study the influence of inlet blade angle on the performance. They kept the outlet angle constant at 90 .…”

“…Maximum efficiency was obtained at 15 forward curved blade angle. Mekhail et al 52 experimentally investigated the influence of inlet blade angle on the performance of regenerative blowers. They used peripheral blade impeller with four inlet blade angles (90 , 115 , 125 , 135 ) and a common outlet angle of 90 and operated at 3000 rpm.…”

This paper presents a detailed and objective review of regenerative flow turbomachines, namely pumps, blowers and compressors. Several aspects of turbomachines like design and operating parameters, working principle, flow behaviour, performance parameters and analytical and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) related details have been reviewed and summarized. Experimental work has been put in perspective and the most useful results for optimized performance have been presented. Consolidated plots of specific speed-specific diameter have been plotted which can be helpful in the early stages of design. Industrial outlook involving details of suppliers from various parts of the world, their product description and applications too are included. Finally, future research work to be carried out to make these machines widespread is suggested. This review is targeted at designer engineers who would need quantitative data to work with.
