Centrifugal pump lifts water under static lift of 40 m of which 3m is suction lift The suction and delivery pipes are both 35 cm diameter.The friction class in section pipe is 2 and delivery pipe 6m

The impeller is 0.5m in diameter and 3 cm wide at outer and runs at a speed of 1200 rpm. The exit blade angle is 20.if the manometer efficiency of the pump is 85%. Determine the discharge and the pressure at the suction and delivery ends at the pump

Given

Static lift H3=h_{s}+h_{d}=40m

Suction lift h3=3m

d3=dd=35cm=0.35 m

hf3=2m,hfd=6m

impeller outer diameter

O2=0.5m

width B2=3 cm=0.03m

N=1200 rpm

Exit blade angle

ϕ=20

nmano=1200 rpm

Exit blade angle

ϕ=20

1) Discharge Q

u2=π×D2N60=π×0.5×120060=31.42 m/s

nmano=Vwsu2gHm

Hm=Vws=u2gHm

Hm=Hs+hf3+hfd+Vd22g

on neglecting Vd22 since it is negligible the manometer head

Hm=Hg+hfs+hfd

=40+2+6

=48m

0.85=vw2×31.429.81×48

Vw2=12.74m/s

We have

Vw2=u2HF

u2Vf2tanϕ

12.74=81.42-Vf2tan20

Vf2=6.8m/s

Q=πD2B2Vf2

=π×0.5×0.03×6.8

=0.3204m^{3}/s

2 Pressure Head at suction H3

Velocity in suction and delivery pipes

VQ=Vd=QA=0.3201π4(0.35)2=3.33m/s

Suction head H3=h3+hfs+Vs2g

=3+2+(3.33)22×9.81

=5.565m

  1. Delivery head Hd:

Hd=Hm-Hs-Vd22

=48-5.565-(3.33)22×9.81

=41.87m
