Explain why some pump performance curves may lead tounstable operating conditions.
A volute centrifugal pump with an impeller diameter of 0.02 m has the following performance data when pumping water at the best efficiency point: impeller speed N = 58.3 revs/s capacity Q = 0.012 m3/s total head Ah = 70m required net positive suction head NPSH = 18m brake power Pe = 12000w Determine the new performance data (listed above) of a homologous pump with twice the impeller diameter operating at half the impeller speedand same efficiency.
A centrifugal pump is pumping water at the design conditions with a flowrate of 2300 gpm and a tangential velocity of U2=65ft/s. The flow passage area at the outlet is A2=1ft2. About 5% of the flow is recirculated internally and pumped again. The actual head rise of the pump is 94ft and the blade angle at outlet is 28º. Knowing that the total number of blades is Zb=24, the power needed to operate the pump is Ps=65hp. Take g = 9.81 m/s2 = 32.2 ft/s2 & ρw = 998 kg/m3 =1.94 Slug/ft3. Estimate the theoretical head of the pump in ft using Stodola’s formula (Hi). Determine the mechanical efficiency of the pump (ηm).
A centrifugal pump pumps water at a flow rate of 7 m³/s to a height of 10 m. If the pump works at the best efficiency point, find the pump impeller diameter, pump speed, the best efficiency value of the pump, the head at the best efficiency value, and the specific speed of the pump, given that CQ=0.15 CH=6 CP=0.75.
1) Interpret solar power in the context of environmental impact.2. What is the rigid dichotomy between windmill and diesel-driven pumps?3. For a normal windmill-driven pump at 3 m/s wind speed, the yield at a 10 m Head is typically 0.12 liters/s per m2 of rotor area, value windmills in the context of yield.
A centrifugal pump rotates at n. = 750 rpm. Water enters the impeller normal to the blades (?1 = 0°) and exits at an angle of 35° from radial (?2 = 35°).
