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 psig pumping at a...

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.
