The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.1 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.0002 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.33 SJR: 0.256 SNIP: 0.49 CiteScore™:: 2.4 H-Index: 23

ABSTRACT

In the present study, the loss coefficients of hydraulic parameters for a centrifugal pump are experimentally investigated. To this end, a centrifugal pump was installed in a closed loop hydraulic circuit. To understand the effect of viscosity on the performance of centrifugal pump, experiments were conducted for three different working liquids; water and two industrial viscous liquids. On the basis of the experimental data, the pump head, outlet power and efficiency were calculated. And the complete characteristic curves of the centrifugal pump were obtained for water as well as viscous liquids. Finally, by means of a statistical software and based on the available data, several correlations for hydraulic parameters have been suggested. These correlations, makes it possible to predict the behavior of the aforementioned pump in the new pumping condition, when handling a viscous liquid. The dominant feature of these correlations is that just by entering the kinematic viscosity of the fluid, the values of head, inlet power and efficiency for any arbitrary flow rate can be estimated.
