It is important to design a pump suction sump with proper dimensions and configuration which will greatly influence the pump performance.
This study was carried out to examine pump performance caused by vortex phenomenon and to research relation between critical submergence and width of suction sump, bell to bottom clearance, bell to rear wall clearance and suction bell outer diameter. The results obtained by this experiment are as follows.
Sc is decreased with the increase of suction sump width x, and though the variation of Sc with variation Y is not clearly observed, in general, Sc tends to decrease with the increase of Y. Sc is increased with increase of Z and velocity, but Sc is decreased with the increase of D.
