B- 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.
For each statement, choose whether the statement is true or false, and discuss your answer briefly: (a) If the rpm of a pump is doubled, all else staying the same, the capacity of the pump goes up by a factor of about 2. (b) If the rpm of a pump is doubled, all else staying the same, the net head of the pump goes up by a factor of about 2. (c) If the rpm of a pump is doubled, all else staying the same, the required shaft power goes up by a factor of about 4. (d) If the rpm of a turbine is doubled, all else staying the same, the output shaft power of the turbine goes up by a factor of about 8.
For a pumper truck pumping water to a fire, the back pressure is the additional pressure on the pump caused by the height of the nozzle. (Another way of thinking of back pressure is as the minimum pressure the pumper must produce in order to make water flow out the end of the nozzle.) Consider a pumper at street level pumping water through a hose to firefighters on the top of the ninth floor of a building. If each floor is 16 feet high, what is the head of water at the mouth of the nozzle?
