An Analysis of the Minimum Pressure Coefficient Criterion Applied to the Axial-flow Pump Design – A Case Study for a Circulating Water Channel

An analysis of the minimum pressure coefficient on the suction side of the axial-flow pump blades is presented as a design criterion. A Matlab code is used to improve the computer aided design process efficiency and quality. X-Foil software determines the blade profiles' lift and drag coefficie...
