Chapter 14, Problem 12CP

For each statement about cow cetrifugal the statement is true or false. and discuss your answer briefly:
(a) A centrifugal pump with radial blades has higher efficiency than the same pump with backward-inclined blades.
(b) A centrifugal pump with radial blades produces a larger pressure rise than the same pump with backward, or forward-inclined blades
over a wide range of
(c) A centrifugal pump with forward-inclined blades ii a good choice when one needs to provide a large pressure rise over a wide range of volume flow rates.
(d) A centrifugal pump with foird-inchned blades would most likely have less blades than a pump of the same size with backward-inclined or radial blades.

Consider a typical centrifugal liquid pump. For each statement, choose whether the statement is true or false, and discuss your answer briefly: (a) V. at the pump’s free delivery is greater than V. at its best efficiency point. (b) At the pump’s shutoff head, the pump efficiency is zero. (c) At the pump’s best efficiency point, its net head is at its maximum value. (d) At the pump’s free delivery, the pump efficiency is zero.
A centrifugal pump is driven by a motor. The performance of the pump reveals the folowing information: Power input to the pump by the motor (kW): 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.0, 1.2 Power input to the fluid by the pump (kW): 0.3, 0.55, 0.7, 0.9, 1.0 Plot the efficiency curve. The efficiency of a pump is a function of the flow rate. Assume that the flow-readings corresponding to to power data points are equally spaced.
