Slip coefficient by PFLEIDERER

Reduced energy transmission is expressed by decreased output coefficient p:

 

This coefficient can be empirically calculated in dependence of experience number ψ':

 

  static moment from leading to trailing edge

 

  experience number

 

experience number a:

 

Centrifugal impeller

with guided vanes

a = 0.6


with volute

a = 0.65…0.85


with plain diffusor

a = 0.85…1.0

Mixed flow/axial impeller

a = 1.0  …1.2

(the numbers are valid for sufficiently high Re; ψ’ strongly grows with small Re)

 

 

More descriptive is the decreased output factor  kL:

  (kL=1: for flow congruent to blade)

 

Circumferential component of the flow, which is congruent to blade, can be calculated as follows:

Now the outflow (slip) coefficient γ according to Wiesner can be calculated:
