Title: CONTINUOUS SOLVENT WASHING-HYDRAULIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TURBINE CONTACTOR

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4088977

The pumping characteristics of a turbine contactor were measured with several different paddles inside a shrouded diffuser. The maximum pressure was developed at no flow and was about 0.6 of the velocity head of liquid moving at the velocity of the paddle tip. The maximum flow occurred at no pressure development and was about 0.2 of the flow calculated by the product of the velocity of the paddle tip and the peripheral area of the paddle. Between these extremes, the head decreased from the maximum by an amount proportional to the second power of the flow. (auth)
