Performance Comparison of Reverse-Engineered and Newly Designed Impellers in a Centrifugal Pump Operating in Pump and Turbine Modes
This study compares the hydraulic performance of two centrifugal-pump impellers operating in pump and pump-as-turbine (PAT) modes: a reverse-engineered impeller obtained from a commercial pump by 3D scanning and an impeller developed through a preliminary analytical sizing procedure. Both configurations were evaluated...
