Its characteristics are small size, large flow rate ranges, and convenient installation; hence, it is usually applied in areas where installation space is a constraint, such as urban water supply systems. There is, however, a bent pipe section called the inlet pipe, which has different angles and cross sections that result in terrible flow conditions before the impeller.\r\nConsistently, the flow in the inlet pipe was nonuniform especially at part-load condition. There were also many vortices moving toward the surfaces, which were more intense than the mean flow. Hence, the efficiency of the inline pump is normally lower than the common single-suction single-stage centrifugal pumps with the similar specific speed. Therefore, it is very meaningful and necessary to optimize the inlet pipe to improve the performance of vertical inline pump. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">The aim of the present research is a in-depth study, overlaying multiple perspectives and a multi-objective optimization of the inline pump to obtain the optimum design able to increase the efficiencies at 0.5 Qd, 1.0 Qd and 1.5 Qd.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"nova-e-text nova-e-text--size-xl nova-e-text--family-sans-serif nova-e-text--spacing-xs nova-e-text--color-inherit

consumption is currently growing at an alarming rate to support the increase of the world economy and population, which has brought a host of environmental issues. Improving energy efficiency is considered as the crucial solution for changing this situation. The widespread use of inline pumps in the water supply consumes a large amount of electricity, while the efficiency of such devices is lower than the average level. This research is aimed to study the relationship between the shape of the curved inlet pipe and the energy loss distributions by using flow loss visualization technology and correlation analysis. An induced vane was placed at the end of the inlet pipe to suppress the flow phenomena that cause efficiency losses. 700 designs of the inlet pipe with induced vane were generated and calculated to support the research using the automatic simulation approach. An optimization work was also presented to improve the comprehensive performance of the inline pump by using the multi-layer feed-forward neural network and multi-objective particle swarm optimization.

Improving energy efficiency is considered as the crucial solution for changing this situation. The widespread use of inline pumps in the water supply consumes a large amount of electricity, while the efficiency of such devices is lower than the average level. This research is aimed to study the relationship between the shape of the curved inlet pipe and the energy loss distributions by using flow loss visualization technology and correlation analysis. An induced vane was placed at the end of the inlet pipe to suppress the flow phenomena that cause efficiency losses. 700 designs of the inlet pipe with induced vane were generated and calculated to support the research using the automatic simulation approach. An optimization work was also presented to improve the comprehensive performance of the inline pump by using the multi-layer feed-forward neural network and multi-objective particle swarm optimization. An excellent performance improvement was found after the optimization, and a deep analysis of four different design schemes based on the loss visualization method was presented to figure out the main reasons for hydraulic losses in the curved inlet pipe.<\/div><p class=\"tp_close_menu\"><a class=\"tp_close\" onclick=\"teachpress_pub_showhide('28','tp_abstract')\">Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"tp_links\" id=\"tp_links_28\" style=\"display:none;\"><div class=\"tp_links_entry\"><ul class=\"tp_pub_list\"><li><i class=\"fas fa-globe\"><\/i><a class=\"tp_pub_list\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0360544221030735\" title=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0360544221030735\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0360544221030735<\/a><\/li><li><i class=\"ai ai-doi\"><\/i><a class=\"tp_pub_list\" href=\"https:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1016\/j.energy.2021.122824\" title=\"Follow DOI:10.1016\/j.energy.2021.122824\" target=\"_blank\">doi:10.1016\/j.energy.2021.122824<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><p class=\"tp_close_menu\"><a class=\"tp_close\" onclick=\"teachpress_pub_showhide('28','tp_links')\">Close<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tp_publication tp_publication_article\"><div class=\"tp_pub_image_left\"><\/div><div class=\"tp_pub_info\"><p class=\"tp_pub_author\"> Gan, Xingcheng;  Pei, Ji;  Pavesi, Giorgio;  Yuan, Shouqi;  Wang, Wenjie<\/p><p class=\"tp_pub_title\"><a class=\"tp_title_link\" onclick=\"teachpress_pub_showhide('32','tp_links')\" style=\"cursor:pointer;\">Application of intelligent methods in energy efficiency enhancement of pump system: A review<\/a> <span class=\"tp_pub_type tp_  article\">Journal Article<\/span> <\/p><p class=\"tp_pub_additional\"><span class=\"tp_pub_additional_in\">In: <\/span><span class=\"tp_pub_additional_journal\">Energy Reports, <\/span><span class=\"tp_pub_additional_volume\">vol. 8, <\/span><span class=\"tp_pub_additional_pages\">pp. 11592-11606, <\/span><span class=\"tp_pub_additional_year\">2022<\/span>, <span class=\"tp_pub_additional_issn\">ISSN: 23524847<\/span>.<\/p><p class=\"tp_pub_menu\"><span class=\"tp_abstract_link\"><a id=\"tp_abstract_sh_32\" class=\"tp_show\" onclick=\"teachpress_pub_showhide('32','tp_abstract')\" title=\"Show abstract\" style=\"cursor:pointer;\">Abstract<\/a><\/span> | <span class=\"tp_resource_link\"><a id=\"tp_links_sh_32\" class=\"tp_show\" onclick=\"teachpress_pub_showhide('32','tp_links')\" title=\"Show links and resources\" style=\"cursor:pointer;\">Links<\/a><\/span> | <span class=\"tp_bibtex_link\"><a id=\"tp_bibtex_sh_32\" class=\"tp_show\" onclick=\"teachpress_pub_showhide('32','tp_bibtex')\" title=\"Show BibTeX entry\" style=\"cursor:pointer;\">BibTeX<\/a><\/span> | <span class=\"tp_pub_tags_label\">Tags: <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/research.dii.unipd.it\/tes\/inlinepump\/?tgid=9#tppubs\" title=\"Show all publications which have a relationship to this tag\">Energy efficiency enhancement<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/research.dii.unipd.it\/tes\/inlinepump\/?tgid=80#tppubs\" title=\"Show all publications which have a relationship to this tag\">Energy-efficient control<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/research.dii.unipd.it\/tes\/inlinepump\/?tgid=62#tppubs\" title=\"Show all publications which have a relationship to this tag\">Inline pump<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/research.dii.unipd.it\/tes\/inlinepump\/?tgid=81#tppubs\" title=\"Show all publications which have a relationship to this tag\">Intelligent method<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/research.dii.unipd.it\/tes\/inlinepump\/?tgid=82#tppubs\" title=\"Show all publications which have a relationship to this tag\">Optimization<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/research.dii.unipd.it\/tes\/inlinepump\/?tgid=83#tppubs\" title=\"Show all publications which have a relationship to this tag\">Pump system<\/a><\/p><div class=\"tp_bibtex\" id=\"tp_bibtex_32\" style=\"display:none;\"><div class=\"tp_bibtex_entry\"><pre>@article{GanPavesi2022-01,<br \/>\r\ntitle = {Application of intelligent methods in energy efficiency enhancement of pump system: A review},<br \/>\r\nauthor = {Xingcheng Gan and Ji Pei and Giorgio Pavesi and Shouqi Yuan and Wenjie Wang},<br \/>\r\ndoi = {10.1016\/j.egyr.2022.09.016},<br \/>\r\nissn = {23524847},<br \/>\r\nyear  = {2022},<br \/>\r\ndate = {2022-01-01},<br \/>\r\nurldate = {2022-01-01},<br \/>\r\njournal = {Energy Reports},<br \/>\r\nvolume = {8},<br \/>\r\npages = {11592-11606},<br \/>\r\npublisher = {Elsevier Ltd},<br \/>\r\nabstract = {Energy consumption around the world is growing at an alarming rate.
