A centrifugal pump discharging 900 gpm and operates at 1800
rpm against a head of 120 feet has a power output of 30 hp. If
the pump is to operate at 1200 rpm assuming efficiency remains
constant. Determine the new discharge in gpm, the head and
power.
The pressure at the suction of the pump reads 8
psi vacuum, while at the discharge is 41 psi. The
difference in elevation between the suction and
discharge side is 1.6 ft. The diameter at suction is
7.2 in, while at the discharge is 4.5 in. Calculate
the power delivered by the pump in hp if it
delivers 1800 gpm. Write your answer to 1
decimal place.
Answer:
A small centrifugal pump is used to deliver 0.005 m/s of water to level 2 as shown in Fig.
