Chapter 5. Experimental Methods, Data, and Analysis

The experimental measurements reported in this chapter were conducted on the closed mixed-flow pump test platform in the Research Center of Fluid Machinery Engineering and Technology in Jiangsu University. The closed test platform is made of the Φ250 mm stainless steel pipe. The experiments were conducted following the GB/T 18149-2000 mixed-flow pump and axial flow pump hydraulic performance test specification [1]. The test platform meets the accuracy requirement of the first class. The experimental setup and equipment used in the experiment are shown in Fig. 5.1.
