Abstract A self-priming pump is a centrifugal pump that has the ability to prime itself. Typically, its performance depends on the configuration of its reflux hole. In this study, the ANSYS FLUENT software is used to investigate the effects of three different radial positions of the reflux hole on gas-liquid two-phase distribution, pressure pulsation, and imp during self-priming. The research results indicate that: (1) The effective channel size for the reflux liquid to enter the volute varies depending on the location of the reflux hole. The effect of the impeller rotation on the reflux liquid becomes… More >
