The invention provides a designing method of a fish-friendly axial flow pump based on fish survival rate prediction. A relation between a pump design parameter and the fish passing survival rate is predicted by adopting a mathematical model, and thus a fish-friendly design of an axial flow pump is guided. The mathematical model is mainly composed of the blade leading edge impact probability and the impact death rate; the impact probability is a ratio of the time that fishes pass through the cross section of passage of the blade leading edge and the time needed by an impeller rotating around a blade pitch; the impact death rate is relevant to the impact velocity, the fish length and the thickness of the blade leading edge; and the impact velocity adoptsa velocity component of a vertical leading edge. The fish-friendly axial flow pump design comprises the following steps: lowering the blade leading edge impact probability by adopting two blade impellers, lowering the impact death rate by adopting the blade leading edge with linear sweepforward protraction, and ensuring good hydraulic performance by virtue of airfoil parameter design. According to the designing method, a fish survival rate prediction model is high in goodness of fit to an experiment value, and the fish-friendly axial flow pump designed by guidance can greatly lower the fish death rate.

A dual chamber mixing pump design is disclosed which allows two different sources of fluid to be combined into one mixed product fluid. The pump is divided into two chambers, the proximal chamber and the distal chamber. The chambers are defined in part by a piston having proximal and distal ends and recessed sections. The pump utilizes one common driving mechanism to axially rotate and laterally reciprocate the piston to provide continuous pumping of fluids with reduced pulsations. Each fluid enters through its own pump inlet and outlet. For mixing applications, the outlets are joined together. The flow volume per stroke of each chamber is determined by the lateral stroke of the entire piston assembly and also by the annular areas of the proximal and distal ends of the piston. The flow volume per stroke may be altered by varying the piston and shaft diameters for each chamber. This allows mixing of two fluids in any ratio or proportion desired. Alternating pulses of the two chambers provide a stream which has small segments of alternating fluid from each inlet. Such segmented streams can become more thoroughly mixed through normal flow characteristics of the downstream flow path, providing more effective mixing.
