A centrifugal water pump is driven at a speed of 1450 rpm. The pump impeller is of radial type and has an average radius of 50 mm at the vane inlet and a radius of 150 mm at the vane exit.
A centrifugal water pump is driven at a speed of 1450 rpm. The pump impeller is of radial type and has an average radius of 50 mm at the vane inlet and a radius of 150 mm at the vane exit. The vane width at inlet and exit are 25 and 10 mm respectively. The vane angles are ?1 = 500 and ?2 = 300. Assuming no prerotation at inlet and neglecting all sources of losses, determine a. the volume...
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.
