A centrifugal pump with impeller diameter 500mm is designed for a discharge of 1.0m3/s of water. The water enters the pump axially, leaving the impeller with an absolute velocity of 12m/s at an angle of 20degrees to the tangent at the impeller periphery. The impeller is rotating at 700rpm. Determine the exit vane angle and the hydraulic power delivered.
A plant has installed a single suction centrifugal pump with a discharge of 68 m3/hr under 60 m head and running at 1200 rpm. It is proposed to install another pump with double suction but of the same type to operate at 36.27 m head and deliver 90 m3/hr. Determine the speed of the new pump. What should be the new impeller diameter if the diameter of the original pump is 140mm?
The jet of water of a pelton wheel is 80mm diameter. The jet strike's the bucket on the tangential line 0.45m from the centre of the wheel and the jet is deflected through 160° while it is moving across the bucket. Ignore friction and determine the power and hydraulic efficiency if the speed is 275 r/min and the pressure behind the nozzle is 680kPa
The cylinder bore diameter of a single-acting reciprocating pump is 150 mm and its stroke is 300 mm. The pump runs at 60 rpm and lifts water through a height of 30 m. The delivery pipe is 22 m long and 100 mm in diameter. Find the theoretical discharge and the theoretical power required to run the pump. If the actual discharge is 4.2 liters/s, find the percentage slip and determine the acceleration head at the beginning and middle of the delivery stroke.
A single-acting reciprocating pump has piston diameter 12 cm and stroke length of 30cm. The center of the pump is 5m above the water level sump. The diameter and length of suction pipe are 7.5cm and 8m respectively. The separation occurs if the absolute pressure head in the cylinder during suction stroke falls below 2.5 m of water. Calculate the maximum speed at which the pump can run without separation. Take atmospheric pressure head = 10.3 m of water.
The impeller of the centrifugal pump is 350 mm diameter, and the width of the blade passages at outlet is 18 mm. A pump, which runs at 16.6 rev/s, is mounted so that its centre is 2.4 m above the water level in the suction sump. It delivers water to a point 19 m above its centre; the friction loss in the suction pipe is 68 Q² meter and that in the delivery pipe is 650 Q² meter where Q in m3/s is the rate of flow. The blades themselves occupy 5% of the circumference and are backward facing at 35° to the tangent. At inlet, the flow is radial and the radial component of velocity remains unchanged through the impeller. Assuming that 50% of the velocity head of the water leaving the impeller is converted to pressure head in the volute, and that friction and shock losses in the pump, the velocity heads in the suction and delivery pipes are negligible, calculate the following:The flow rate, m3/s, of the pump. Manometric efficiency, in %, of the pump.

The penstock supplies water from a reservoir to the Pelton wheel with a gross head of 516 m. One third of the gross head is lost in friction in the penstock. The rate of flow of water through the nozzle fitted at the end of the penstock is 1.8 m3/s. The angle of deflection of the jet is 165º. Determine the power (MW) given by the water to the runner. Take speed ratio = 0.45 and Cv = 1.0. Use ρ = 998 kg/m3. Round off your final answer to two decimal places.

A centrifugal pump when tested with Brine of density 1190 kg per cubic meter discharged 60 liter per second against a pressure of 300 kPa. It is desired to investigate the change in power when a similar pump is used to pump petrol of density 700 kg per cubic meter against the same pressure. It is desired to keep the speed the same. Check whether any change in the drive motor is required. Assume an overall efficiency of 70% in both cases.
