The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.1 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.0002 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.33 SJR: 0.256 SNIP: 0.49 CiteScore™:: 2.4 H-Index: 23

ABSTRACT

Airlift pumps are devices which are widely used in industrial applications. Parameters such as diameter of the pipe, tapering angle of the upriser pipe, submergence ratio, the gas flow rate, bubble diameter, and inlet gas pressure affect the performance of this type of pumps. In this research, the performances of airlift pumps with a vertical upriser length of 914 mm and initial diameters of 6 and 8 mm and various heights for steps, range 0.2 to 0.9 m, in submergence ratio of 0.6 are investigated numerically. The results show the improvement in the performance of step airlift pump (SALP) in comparison with ordinary type (OALP). Considering the effect of height of steps and secondary pipe diameter, can be shown that in constant gas flow rate there exist specific height and secondary diameter for step which can optimize the performance of the pump. The numerical results were compared with the existing experimental data, showing a reasonable agreement. The results have indicated that step airlift pump has higher efficiency than the pump with constant pipe diameter.
