Concept explainers
A four-stage boiler feed pump has suction and discharge lines of 10 cm and 7.5 cm inside diameter. At 3500 rpm, the pump is rated at 0.025 m3/s against a head of 125 m while handling water at 115°C. The inlet pressure gage, located 50 cm below the impeller centerline, reads 150 kPa. The pump is to be factory certified by tests at the same flow rate, head rise, and speed, but using water at 27°C. Calculate the NPSHA at the pump inlet in the field installation. Evaluate the suction head that must be used in the factory test to duplicate field suction conditions.

- A two stage centrifugal pump is designed to discharge water at a total head of 70 m with an overallefficiency of 0.76. The pump runs at 2331.6 rpm. The actual head developed (per stage) is 65% ofthe theoretical head. The flow at the inlet is pure radial. The impeller at the exit has a diameter of D2=0.219m and a width b2=0.0216m .The outlet blade angle is ?= 28°. Determine:1. The flow rate of the pump.2. The output power of the two stage centrifugal pump. Take ρ= 1000kg/m^3g=9.81 m^2/sarrow_forwardA centrifugal pump transports water between two reservoirs. The pump has an outer diameter of 15 cm, an inner diameter of 8 cm, and a blade width of 2 cm and operates at 1750 rpm. If the water enters the pump axially at ẞ₁ = 45°, compute the volume flow rate, In the pump of problem 1, the water exits at ẞ₂ = 65° when the pump is driven at 1750 rpm. Compute the minimum power required by the pump?arrow_forwardA water pump dissipates power on the shaft N=5.5 kW. Refine parameters: Head, flow and efficiency of the pump. Knowing the residual pressure Pair = 20, open the pump outlet (head) and the vacuum pressure at the inlet Pa,= 4m (head). The velocity in the thrust tube v2=4 m/s, the ejector tube diameter 75 mm, the suction pipe diameter 100 mm and the difference between the vacuum gauge and the manometer zero.
