A series of tests in a small-scale loop containing a centrifugal pump was carried out to develop practical acoustic test and analysis techniques to be used in a manufacturer’s pump test facility during pump qualification testing. To determine the pump transmission characteristics, the effect of high noise levels due to the flow was reduced by driving an external source repeatedly with a swept-frequency signal and performing synchronous, time-domain averaging. A new multi-sensor technique is shown to provide accurate estimates of the pump acoustic transfer matrix. Results confirm that the pump transfer matrix is similar whether the pump is running or not. This indicates that the full-scale pump transfer matrix may be determined with the pump off using a relatively weak external acoustic source and a pump loop system with no cavitation.

The following report is the third and last in a series describing the progress of “A Research Study on Internal Corrosion of High Pressure Boilers.” The first report described the background, scope, and organization of the program as well as the test facility. The second report discussed the methods of testing and the results of the first six runs. This final report describes the results of the last six tests and discusses the conclusions drawn from all of Phases II and III. The scope and an outline of seven tests composing the newly scheduled Phase IV program are also included. The results of runs with three types of boiler water treatment, fouled heat transfer surfaces, and conditions simulating fresh water and seawater condenser leakage are included. Data relating to deposition and corrosion in these environments are presented with particular emphasis on the severe corrosion experienced with simulated seawater condenser leakage.
