A 1/4-scale model centrifugal pump is tested to pump water with density of 1000 kg/m under a head of 7.5 m at speed of 500 rpm. It was found that 7.5 kW was needed to drive the model. Assuming the pumps is geometrical similar and similar mechanical efficiency, determine; (i) speed and power required by the prototype when pumping against a head of 44 m; ratio of the discharges between model and prototype; and head, capacity and power coefficient of...

Q2: A centrifugal pump with an impeller diameter of 220 mm has to pump 0.02 mº/s of brackish water to an RO unit with following performance data at the best efficiency point: impeller speed =3000 rpm, total head= 68 m, net positive suction head=1.8 m, input power=16 hp. Evaluate the performance of a homologous pump with twice the impeller diameter operating at half the impeller speed. (15 Marks) 2016)
A centrifugal pump operating at 1200 rpm is delivering 10 m^3/h

Chemical Engineering Fluid Mechanics 30. The purpose of a centrifugal pump is to increase the pressure of a liquid in order to move it through a piping system. The pump is driven by a motor, which must provide sufficient power to operate the pump at the desired conditions. You wish to find the pressure developed by a pump operating at a flow rate of 300 gpm with an oil having a specific gravity (SG) of 0.8 and a viscosity of...
13. A centrifugal pump whose outer diameter is twice the inner diameter, runs at 600 rpm. The radial gh the pump is constant at 2.5 m/s and the flow is radial at the pump inlet. The rotor vanes are curved back at exit at an angle of 40° to the tangent. If the outer diameter of the rotor is 500 mm and the blade width is 50 mm at exit, the tangential component of absolute velocity at rotor exit (in...

A centrifugal pump with a 700 mm diameter rotor runs at 1800 rpm. The water enters without whirl (Q1 = 90°) and a2 = 60 (a is the angle between the absolute velocity and the local tangent to the circumference). The outlet (absolute) velocity magnitude is 6 m/s. The local gravitational field is 9.81 m/s². (a) From the Euler formula, calculate the theoretical head produced by the pump (20%), (b) if the actual head measured is 17 m, calculate the...
