Maximum Efficiency Despite Lowest Specific Speed—Simulation and Optimisation of a Side Channel Pump

Side channel pumps provide high pressure at relatively low flow rates. This comes along with a quite low specific speed and thus with the known disadvantage of a quite poor maximum efficiency. This paper describes the detailed analysis and optimisation of a typical 1-stage side channel pump with an...
