摘要

This research paper is the first experimental study of a pitot tube pump for use in rotating heat and mass transfer devices (rotating packed beds, spinning disc reactors and others). Such pitot-tube pumps operate with a rotor partially filled with liquid and without amplifier blades. The frequency of rotation of the liquid was measured using: 1) stroboscopic lighting; 2) piezometric tubes rotating together with the pump rotor; 3) indicator floats. The maximum radius of the pitot tube installation was 74.5 mm, with a rotor rotation frequency of up to 1500 rpm. Partial filling of the rotor leads to a decrease in static pressure, and the absence of blades significantly reduces the fluid slip coefficient compared to traditional pitot tube pumps. The pump pressure with a partially filled rotor is only about 20 % of the maximum theoretical value. The research results are summarized by dependencies suitable for engineering calculations.
