Description: Paper read by John Gurner Burnell, BE AMInstCE AMIEAust, before Melbourne Division, 26th October, 1921.
Abstract: Analyses of the results of numerous tests of centrifugal pumps carried out by the author during the last ten years showed the inadequacy of the usual text-book exposition of the flow of water on to vanes. It is generally stated "that in all properly designed hydraulic machines such as centrifugal pumps and turbines, in which water flowing in a definite direction impinges on moving vanes, the relative velocity of the water and the vanes should be parallel to the direction of the vanes at the point of contact. If not, the water breaks into eddies as it moves on to the vanes and energy is lost." The common designs of centrifugal pump vanes, however, depart considerably from this principle.
