Abstrakt: The establishment and development history of the Moscow Power Engineering Institute's Department of Hydromechanics and Hydraulic Machines, and the educational and scientific work presently conducted at it are briefly described. The research and design work aimed at developing the optimal construction of the flow path and blade systems for the stages of a feedwater pump with a useful capacity of 25 MW with the traditional one-sided admission of working fluid for power units designed to operate at supercritical steam conditions is discussed. A new alternative design solution for the cartridge of a super-powerful feedwater pump with the two-sided admission of working fluid is presented. The predicted possibility of achieving more reliable and energy-efficient performance of a feedwater pump equipped with such a cartridge is substantiated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
