A Prediction Method of Wear for Volute Casing of a Centrifugal Slurry Pump

Figure 4

Several important parameter distributions in the volute.

(a) Static pressure distribution for the liquid phase in center section (Pa)

(b) Relative velocity distribution for the liquid phase in center section (m/s)

(c) Dpm-erosion rate distribution along the volute wall (kgm^-2s^-1)

(d) The wall shear distribution along the volute wall (Pa)
