What is the maximum outlet pressure of a water jet pump (jet pump) in kPa?
It is unclear what the maximum value can be; theoretically, it is limited by factors such as the flow velocity at the throat of the injector. In actual use, it is limited by the pressure of the power source, meaning it is inevitably lower than the pressure at the inlet nozzle. The power source for a water jet pump is usually a water pump (there are also gas ejectors, whose power source is steam or high-pressure gas). I’ve seen two applications for such pumps: one involves pumping gases, in which case they are used as vacuum pumps, and the required discharge pressure isn’t very high ； The other is a jet pump used as a mixer. In both cases, the discharge pressure is not high, being lower than that of the preceding power pump, usually around 500 kPa.
Is this question asked the wrong way?
The outlet pressure of a water jet pump is related to its power inlet pressure, suction ratio, and other factors. Water jet pumps can be used for pumping water, air, as well as sludge or particles. Under the same power consumption, changes in the medium to be pumped result in different performance characteristics, and their respective performance equations also vary. You can give a specific project or example.
I think it would be better if you listed the parameters! This will also help everyone understand your intentions more quickly
Hello, can the outlet pressure of a mixed gas reach 500 kPa? Could it be that high?
