Rotordynamics of the intermediate size inducer pump (ISIP)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6252218
This report documents the analysis performed to determine the critical shaft speeds for the FFTF Primary Pump with the AI-designed Inducer/Impeller attached to the unaltered pump shaft. The results indicate that the proposed arrangement would have a first lateral critical shaft speed of 22.1 Hz (1330 rpm). This speed is 121% of the shaft design speed (1100 rpm). The torsional critical shaft speed was found to be 26.7 Hz (1618 rpm).
