A centrifugal pump delivers 227 m³/hr of water from a source 4 meters below the pump centre
line to a pressure tank whose pressure is 2.8 kg/cm² . Friction loss estimates are 2 meters in the
suction line and 1 metre in the discharge line. The diameter of the suction pipe is 250 mm and
the discharge pipe is 200 mm. Find:
a. The water horsepower
b. The kW rating of the driving motor if the pump efficiency is 70%
A centrifugal purmp is used to lift water from a water reservoir with level 2 m below the pump center line. Then, to another reservoir with
level 7 m above the center line. Pressure gages readings from the suction and discharge are 1 bar and 4 bars respectively. The flow rate at
0.74 m /s with pipe inside diameters of 400 mm at suction and 250 mm at the discharge.
Assume over all head loss due to friction of 4 J/N, what is the water power in kW?
A centrifugal pump running at 3500 rpm pumps water at a rate of 0.01cu. m./sec. The water enters axially, and leaves the impeller at 5m/s relative to the blades, which are radial at the exit. If the pump requires 5kW, and is 67% efficient, estimate the basic dimensions (impeller exit diameter and width).
