A 70 cm diameter centrifugal pump which is dynamically similar to the tested pump
tabulated above, is delivering water at 1.26 m³/s against a 100m head. Determine the
operating speed in rev/min and the required power consumption. Note that the pump
is not necessarily running at the design point.
A centrifugal pump having four stages in parallel delivers
12 kiloLiters per minute of liquid against a head of 25m.
The diameter of the impeller being 24 cm has a speed of
1800 rpm. A pump is to be made up with a number of
stages in series. In similar construction to that of the first
pump to run at 1250 rpm and to deliver 15 kiloLiters/min
against a total head of 250 m, find the number of stages
required in this case.
