The vibration impact assessment for long-term damage mechanism of a pump

The most of the goals of pump designers and users are efficient operation and productivity. But the safety-grade pumps in nuclear power plants are needed to operate continuously for an essential condition of system operation. Also, most of the rules and regulatory standards that have been prepared for nuclear pumps are dedicated to achieve public safety. The study examined pump vibration in a pump outlet flow and distinguished the regions of pump vibration frequency cause by cavitation and recirculation. The study made a counterproposal in determination of pump outlet flow so that the discharge flow will be able to minimize the long-term damage of the pump.
