Pump Cavitation

A centrifugal pump at its optimum point of operation transports 3.2 mcs and generates an energy of 25m. If the pump is rotating at 1450 rpm answer: 1. For an efficiency of 82% what is the required power of the motor? 2. If the pump rotates at 1200 rpm, what is the corresponding flow, energy and power? 3. Calculate the specific speed for the pump by rotating at 1450 rpm and 2000 rpm.

The rotation speed of a centrifugal water pump is 1500 rpm, its flow rate is 15 L / s, the rotor diameter is 0.2 m at the outlet, the rotor width at the outlet is 0.01 m and the mechanical efficiency is 0.92. For the fluid entering the rotor in the axial direction, the wing angle is given as 30o at the outlet. What power should be given to the shaft of this pump? (ρwater = 1000 kg / m3)

1.       A centrifugal pump running at 2950 rpm under test at peak efficiency gave the following results: Effective head H= 75m of water, rate of flow Q= 0.05 m3/s, overall efficiency h= 76%. A dynamically similar pump is to operate at a corresponding point of its characteristic when delivering 0.5 m3/s through a pipe 800m long and 1m diameter for which the friction coefficient f =0.05. The pipe discharges 90m above reservoir level. Determine the rotational speed at which the...
