Partial Emission Pumps (PEMs), a specialized type of centrifugal pumps, are utilized for their versatility, cost-effectiveness, and ease of manufacturing. Since its creation in the mid-20th century, PEMs have applications in various industries, including aerospace and fire-protection, where they are utilized in high head, low flow conditions. This project, sponsored by Honeywell, developed an empirical model that accurately captures the performance characteristics of these pumps under diverse operating conditions, encompassing geometries, flows, and other parameters to optimize practical pump performance. We manufactured several pump prototypes to experimentally test and verify the model. This tool will reduce the need for extensive prototyping and testing.
