Gentlemen, does anyone know the differences between axial flow pumps and mixed-flow pumps, as well as their respective application conditions?

Gentlemen, does anyone know the difference between \"axial flow pumps\" and \"mixed-flow pumps\"? What are their respective operating conditions? In the soda ash process, the liquid in the carbonation tower contains sodium bicarbonate crystals; which type of pump is suitable for transporting this liquid? Which type of pump is suitable for liquid containing crystals? ? Thank you 1! !
Compared to mixed-flow pumps, axial-flow pumps have a higher flow rate, a lower head, and less power consumption. In specific situations, both can be used to transport slurry-containing solutions. Specifically, it is necessary to calculate the requirement for head due to pipe losses. If the head is higher than 5 meters, it is basically difficult to use an axial flow pump.
Mixed-flow pumps are more suitable for applications with high circulation resistance. Looking at the performance curves, their flow-efficiency curves are upward-curving parabolas; the flow-efficiency curve of axial-flow pumps rises rapidly before falling sharply, while that of centrifugal pumps is relatively flat. Mixed-flow pumps fall somewhere in between these two. Mixed-flow pumps have a wider efficient range
