Exploration of the mechanism and prediction of jet pump feature structure optimization for the enhanced pumping performance

Abstract

It is widely concerned that the non-ideal design of characteristic parameters of throat pipe of jet pump leads to the low pumping efficiency. The paper studies the pumping efficiency of jet pump under different characteristic parameters through numerical calculation to determine the influences of single parameter on pumping efficiency. And the coupling influences of parameters are predicted through XGBoost technology. The research shows that the coupling relation between the pumping efficiency of jet pump and multiple characteristic parameters can be predicted with the accuracy of 98.83%. The reasonable choice of characteristic parameters can improve pumping efficiency by 23.6%. The research will help designers to look for the best coupling of jet pump parameters accurately through numerical calculation and machine learning technologies.
