Please answer question 7: A centrifugal pump discharges 500 GPM through a 12-inch diameter impeller. The fluid leaves the impeller with a tangential velocity of 17 ft/sec. If water, @ 68°F, enters the impeller via radial flow (I.E. no whirl), and the inner radius and thickness of the impeller are 1.75-inches. (Assume a constant thickness of the impeller) and if the pump speed is 1775 rpm, with a head loss of 4.5-feet. What is the horsepower input to the flow by the pump? QUESTION...

You have been asked to design a similar pump from the existing one. The existing pump works for water is of impeller diameter equals 6 cm and its performance data is shown here when working at 1725 rpm. The newly design pump is for a refrigerant (R-134A) and it must produce 450 cm of head at 1600 rpm when working at its best efficiency. One of your colleagues did preliminary analysis and develop the performance curves in dimensionless form for...
4.45 A two-tank pump/pipe system has a head requirement of 23.4 ft at a flow rate of 100 gpm. The elevation difference between the fluid surfaces in the tanks is 10 ft. The pump is a Bell & Gossett Series e-80 Model 2.5x2.5x9C operating at 1170 rpm with a 7.5-inch impeller. a. Develop an cquation for the system curve. b. Use a computer program to develop an equation for the 7.5-inch impeller using data read from the pump performance curve...

6. Determine the setting of a centrifugal pump, given that flow rate = 2.4 m/min; diameter of intake pipe = 160 mm; entrance losses = one velocity head in suction pipe; required NPSH = 42 kPa; water temperature = 30°C N D1, D2 : inlet and outlet diameters of impeller (rotor) b : impeller width 0,6 : inlet and outlet impeller vane angles (degrees) : speed of rotation of impeller (and its driver) in rpm V, V :tangential and radial...
3. The manufacturers rating for a centrifugal pump shows that the pump delivers 160 gpm at 80 ft of head when the pump speed is 3000 rpm. This rating is for the best operating point of the pump: the efficiency at this point is 59 percent. (be careful with units) (a) Calculate the specific speed of the pump. (b) What is the horsepower required to operate the pump at the manufacturers rating? (c) A 1.8 horsepower motor with a speed...
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...
