Mixed flow pump

A mixed flow pump is a

centrifugal pump with a
mixed flow impeller. The
impellers of mixed flow
pumps with a low specific
speed are combined with
an annular or volute casing;
those of mixed flow pumps
with a higher specific speed
are combined with a
diffuser and a tubular
casing.

Mixed-flow pumps function as a compromise

or a blend between radial and axial-flow
pumps. The fluid experiences both radial
acceleration and lift and exits the impeller
somewhere between 0 and 90 degrees from
the axial direction. As a consequence mixedflow pumps operate at higher pressures than
axial-flow pumps while delivering higher
discharges than radial-flow pumps. The exit
angle of the flow dictates the pressure headdischarge characteristic in relation to radial
and mixed-flow.

Eductor-jet pump

Jet-Pumps

are the most efficient way to pump

many kinds of liquids and gases, and even solids.
Eductors are a kind of jet-type pump that do not
require any moving parts to be able to pump out
a liquid or gas from a certain area. These pumps
make use of their structure to transfer energy
from one fluid to another via the Venturi effect.

This narrow shape causes

the kinetic energy of the
fluid to drop while
causing a change in the
pressure. This causes a
continuous motion of
suction of the fluid to be
extracted into the
eductor. This is known
as the Venturi effect and
it is responsible for the
operation of this device.

The purpose of such pumps is to be used in applications

that are vulnerable and could cause explosions when
exposed to standard electric or internal combustion
powered pumps.
They also can be used for applications involving
extraction of high volumes of debris. These solid debris
particles could damage the screw or blades of regular
conventional pumps. Therefore as eductor jet pumps
do not make use of any moving components, they can
be an ideal choice to extract the debris. The source of
the motive fluid can be a fire hose to which the eductor
can be connected to. Other forms of motive fluids can
be a gas, a dust-laden gas stream or slurry.
