This section contains extensive design and application experience for a variety of jet pump configurations. Although this section concentrates on eductors (termed LJL jet pumps in Section 4.1), experience with other motive (primary) and secondary fluids is also included. The theoretical developments of Section 4.1 are the basis for what is presented here, the dimensional design ratios being generally within the ranges mentioned therein. Therefore, the only theory in this section is the empiricism that is utilized in the examples and applications presented. Refer to Section 4.1 for further explanation.

This equation is used to calculate the motive quantity or pressure from the operating parameters. This nozzle and diffuser diameters are calculated from the equation Q wAV, using suitable nozzle and diffuser entrance coefficients. The principal problems in design concern the size and proportions of the mixing chamber, the distance between nozzle and diffuser, and the length of the diffuser. Eductor designs are based on theory and empirical constants for length and shape. The most efficient units are developed from calculated designs that are then further modified by prototype testing. Figure 2 shows this factor plotted against NPSH (net positive suction head) for a single-nozzle and annular-nozzle eductor. In an annular-nozzle eductor, the motive fluid is introduced around the periphery of the suction fluid, either by a ring of nozzles (Figure 15) or by an annulus created between the inner wall of the diffuser and the outer wall of the suction nozzle (Figure 14). The NPSH is the head available at the centerline of the eductor to move and accelerate suction fluid entering the eductor mixing chamber. NPSH is the total head in feet (meters) of fluid flowing and is defined as atmospheric pressure minus suction pressure minus vapor pressure of suction or motive fluid, whichever is higher. Increased viscosity of motive or suction fluid increases the frictional and momentum losses and therefore reduces the efficiency factor of Figure 2. Below 20 cP, the effect is minimal (approximately 5% lowering of e). Above this value, the loss of performance is more noticeable and empirical data or pilot testing is used to determine sizing parameters.
