Pumps: A centrifugal pump having 4 stages in parallel, delivers 18 kiloliters/min of liquid against a head of 25 m. The diameter of the impellers being 24 cm and the speed of 1800 rpm. A pump is to be made up with a number of stages in series of similar construction to that of the first pump to run at 1250 rpm and to deliver 15 kiloliters/min against a totalhead of 250 m. Find the diameter of the impellers and the number of stages required in this case. Answer: D = 46.63 cm, n = 6 stages

Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.
