Implication

Investigation reveals how wear-ring clearances affect hydraulic performance and axial thrust in multistage centrifugal pumps, suggesting optimization for magnetic levitation systems.

Key Points

Increasing wear-ring clearance from 0.1 mm to 0.6 mm raises the axial force by 203%, indicating a strong relationship.
The front wear-ring clearance significantly impacts pump head and efficiency, while the rear has minimal effects.
Comparative analysis elucidates mechanisms by which wear-ring leakage flow affects axial thrust on the impeller.
The findings provide theoretical insights for optimizing magnetic levitation pump systems and axial load prediction.
