New One-Dimensional Flow Theory Of The Jet Pump With Two Coaxial Streams Differ From Each Other In Density And Viscosity

Many researches had been carried out on the water jet pumps during the last few decades, and discussed the effect of changing the pump geometric parameters on its performance. Some other researches investigated pump performance with Two-phase (liquid-gas) and (liquid-solid) flow. In spite of the several researches, which investigated the case of liquidliquid flow (almost water-water), neither of them did have examined the case in which the secondary flow liquid differs from the power flow liquid in density and viscosity, which is the main objective of this research. The subject is treated experimentally on a special test rig, with the primary jet water and the secondary different types of oils. Performance of the jet pump and static wall pressure inside the mixing chamber, were measured as a function of the mixture Reynolds number. A one-dimensional analysis is also carried out, taking into account the difference of the viscosity and density of the two liquids (each primary and secondary fluids). Discussion of both the experimental and analytical results and comparison between them are made with the main conclusions and recommendation for further researches, especially for pumping the viscous oils
