Literature Review on Different Factor’s That Affecting Jet Pump Performance

Abstract

The objective of this work is to study experimentally the characteristics of jet pump at various perimeter. Pressure head, Suction head, discharge head, density of fluid, and the ratio of nozzle to throat distance to nozzle diameter etc. are recorded. The effect of each parameter on the jet pump performance is studied, in order to have a better understanding about the behavior of such pump under various conditions & it also helpful to find out the highest efficiency of jet pump at such perimeter. Jet pump is a machine to convert kinetic energy of water into pressure energy. The jet pump is simple in structure and its work without any moving part. That's why it's reliable in performance and provide good sealing to pump. Jet pump has less efficient than any other conventional pump. The efficiency of jet pump has directly affect by the following perimeter. Such as Pressure head, Suction head, discharge head, density of fluid, and the ratio of nozzle to throat distance to nozzle diameter etc. In our study we are designed, developed and tested simple geometry jet pump. The experiments show that we should be careful in increasing the suction head, delivery head and efficiency of jet pump. As well as stability of jet pump must be considered between the suction head and the driving fluid mass flow rate.
