Chapter 10, Problem 27P

A pump with D = 500 mm delivers Q = 0.725 m3/s of water at H = 10 m at its best efficiency point. If the specific speed of the pump is 1.74, and the required input power is 90 kW, determine the shutoff head, H0, and best efficiency, η. What type of pump is this? If the pump is now run at 900 rpm, by scaling the performance curve, estimate the new flow rate, head, shutoff head, and required power.

Water recirculates at a volume flow rate of 0.4524 ft3/min from the blade outlet to the impeller, and shaft sealing losses are negligible. A centrifugal pump has a hydraulic efficiency of 95% and a mechanical efficiency of 93%, respectively. Calculate the pump efficiency in percent if the pump delivers water at a flow rate of 12 ft3/min.
2. A pump draws water from a lake delivered to a height of 50 meters above the lake and encounters 15 meters of headloss. Determine the pump power requirement in Kilo-Watts to deliver a constant supply of 500 Liters per second? The correct answer has a margin of 1 from exact answer. Velocity head is neglected.
Q Consider the following data relating toperformance of a centrifugal pump:speed 1200 rpm, flow rate 30 L/s, head 20 m, and power 5 kW. If the speed of the pump is increased to 1500 rpm, assuming the efficiency isunaltered, Find the new flow rate and head.
