CIVL 315 Pumps summary 1. A centrifugal pump with a 12 in. diameter impeller requires a power input of 60 hp when the flow rate is 3200 gpm against a 60 ft head. The impeller is changed to one with a 10 in. diameter. Determine the expected flow rate if the pump speed remains the same. A. 1250 gpm B. 1850 gpm C. 2250 gpm D. 3000 gpm 2. Same as the question #1, what would be the head if the pump speed remains the same? A. 22.7 ft B. 35.7 ft C. 60.0 ft D. None of above 3. Same as the question #1, what is the expected input power if the pump speed remains the same? A. 24.1 hp B. 38.1 hp C. 60.0 hp D. Cannot be determined from the data given. 4. A pump station is used to fill a tank on a hill using water from a lake. The flow rate is 10.5 L/s and atmospheric pressure is 101 KPa (abs). The pump is located 4 m above the lake, and the tank surface level is 115 m above the pump. The suction and discharge lines are 10.2 cm diameter commercial steel pipe. The equivalent length of the inlet line between the lake and the pump is 100m. The total equivalent length between the lake and the tank is 2300 m, including all fittings, bends, screens, and valves. The overall efficiency of the pump and motor set is 70%. What is the NPSH available for this pump, if vapor pressure is 1.82 KPa? A. 3.2 m B. 4.4 m C. 4.7 m D. None of above
