Mission Statement Faculty Guide Faculty Consultant Sponsor Dr. Steven Day Faculty Consultant Dr. Ali Ogut Sponsor Dresser Rand Sponsor Contact Jay Koch

Mission Statement Product Description Key Business Goals The test system will consist of a centrifugal pump that sits within an automated and instrumented flow loop. The flow loop will have a controlled variable resistance and pump rotational speed, and will monitor the pressure rise and flow rate of the pump. The system will be controlled and monitored through a LabView based program and user interface. The apparatus and pump housing will be fabricated from optically clear materials to allow flow visualization within the pump, including dye injection experiments and particle based methods such as Laser Doppler Velocimetry and particle Image Velocimetry. The apparatus will be designed and built with a modular construction so that design variations of impellers, volutes, and housings may be easily exchanged Key Business Goals Demonstrate fluid flow in Turbomachinery Demonstrate design principles of Turbomachinery Teach fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics to engineering students Basis for research projects for graduate students
