A centrifugal pump driven by a 160-hp motor rotating at 2400 rpm is used to pump 70°F water in a manufacturing plant. The pump operates against a head of 100 ft and has an efficiency of 70%. If this pump is used against a head of 196 ft, how much water (in cfs) can the pump circulate?
A single-suction, single-stage, centrifugal pump delivers 240 lps of sea water(SG = 1.01) from a source where the water level varies 2 meters from high tide to low tidelevel. The pump centerline is located 3.0 meters above the surface of the water at hightide level. The pump discharges into a surface condenser, 3.5 meters above the pumpcenterline. Loss of head due to friction in the suction line is 0.8 meter and that in thedischarge line is 3 meters. Pump is directly coupled to a 1450 rpm, 440 volts, 3-phase, 60Hz motor.
