A single stage centrifugal pump has an impeller of 250 mm diameter
which rotates at 1,800 rpm and lifts 60 lit/sec to 25 m with an efficiency
of 70%. Obtain the number of stages and diameter of each impeller of a
similar multi-stage pump to lift 75 lit/sec to 175 m at 1,500 rpm.
(8 stages ; 280 mm dia)
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).
A centrifugal pump impeller has an external diameter of 1.2 m and
internal diameter of 0.8 m. The width of the impeller at outlet is
0.175 m and the blade angle at outlet is 65 degrees. The flow
velocities at inlet and outlet are the same (Va1 = Va2). This pump
delivers 1.55 m3/s of water at 210 rpm. For theoretical
performance, calculate:
1-The flow velocity . 2-blade speed at outlet. 3-blade angle at inlet
(in degrees). 4-the developed head. 5-The pressure rise across the
impeller. 6-The number of blades . 7-The NPSH .
