A centrifugal pump lifts water against a head of 36m, the manometric efficiency being 80%. The suction and delivery pipes are both 150mm bore, the impeller is of 375mm and 25mm wide at the outlet; its exit blade angle is 250 and the specific rotational speed is 1320 rev/min. If the total loss by friction in the pipeline at this speed is estimated at 9m, calculate the probable rate of discharge at this speed.

A centrifugal pump is to be used to pump water from a lake to a
storage tank which is 165 feet above the surface of the lake. The
pumping rate is to be 10 - 35 gal/min at a water temperature of
43°F. The water is used for drinking but will have to undergo
filtration and chlorine treatment because there is sediment in the
lake. The pump on hand can develop a discharge pressure of 60.0

A pump lifts 1000 (liters) of water from ground to a
tank on the roof of a building 100 (m) high. What is the potential
energy in the water? [ 1 (liter) = 1000 cm3 ]. Show all your steps
to the solution.

When operated at N = 1170 rpm, a centrifugal pump, with impeller D = 8in., has a shutoff head ho = 25.0 ft of water.
When operated at N = 1170 rpm, a centrifugal pump, with impeller D = 8in., has a shutoff head ho = 25.0 ft of water. At the same operating speed, best efficiency occurs at Q = 300 gpm, where the head is h = 21.9 ft of water. Fit these data at 1170 rpm with a parabola. Scale the results to a new operating speed of 1750 rpm. Plot and compare the results.

When a centrifugal pump runs at 1500 rpm, it discharges 0.05 m3 / h
of water. The entrance and exit radii of the rotor are given as
0.05 m and 0.15 m respectively, the wing thickness at the entrance
is 0.03 m, and the wing thickness at the exit is 0.01 m. The inlet
and outlet vane angles are 60o and 45o respectively, and the pump
mechanical efficiency is 0.85. In this case; a) What should be the
theoretical head...
