Abstract
A positive-displacement vane pump (pdvp) was
designed, constructed and preliminary tests carried
out on it in the phase I of this project. Also, the
influence of clearances within the pump on the
hydraulic efficiency of a pdvp was theoretically
investigated in phase I, based on laminar flow within
the clearances.
The work in this thesis is an extension of the
work in phase I. In particular, the influence of the
pump clearances on the hydraulic efficiency was
similarly, theoretically investigated, this time,
based on turbulent flow within clearances. A more
tailed experimental test was then carried out on the
pdvp constructed in phase I and its performance
characteristics established.
