    This document contains two assignments related to centrifugal pumps. Assignment 1 includes questions about the differences between volute and vortex casings, derivations of work done by the impeller and expressions for suction head, delivery head, static head, and manometric head. It also asks about efficiencies, specific speed, cavitation, and Thom's cavitation factor. Assignment 2 includes word problems about pump parameters like flow rate, head, speed, efficiency, diameters, and velocities given other variables. It also involves derivations of pressure rise in the impeller and relationships between manometric head, speed, flow rate and constants.

    ASSIGNMENT 2CENTRIFUGAL PUMP


    1. A centrifugal pump is to discharge 0.118 m 3/s at a speed of 1450 rpm against a head of 25
    m. The impeller diameter is 250 mm, its width at outlet is 50 mm and manometric
    efficiency is 75%. Determine the vane angle at the outer periphery of the impeller.
    2. A centrifugal pump having outer diameter equal to two times the inner diameter and
    running at 1000 rpm works against a total head of 40 m. The velocity of flow through the
    impeller is constant and equal to 2.5 m/s. The vanes are set back at an angle of 40 degree
    at outlet. If the outer diameter of the impeller is 500 mm and width at outlet is 50mm,
    determine (i) vane angle (ii) workdone by impeller on water per second, and (iii)
    manometric efficiency.
    3. A centrifugal pump is running at 1000 rpm. The outlet vane angle of the impeller is 45
    degree and velocity of flow at outlet is 2.5 m/s. The discharge through the pump is 200
    liters/sec when the pump is working against a total head of 20 m. If the manometric
    efficiency of the pump is 80% . Determine (i) diameter of impeller (ii) width of the
    impeller at outlet.
    4. Show that the pressure rise in impeller of centrifugal pump when frictional and other
    losses in the impeller are neglected is given by ,
    1/2g [Vf2+u22-Vf22cosec2]
    Where Vf1 and Vf2 are velocity of flow at inlet and outlet,
    u2=tangential velocity of impeller at outlet and = vane angle at outlet.
    5. Prove that the manometric head of a centrifugal pump running at speed N and giving a
    discharge Q may be written as:
    Hmano= AN2+BNQ+CQ2: Where A,B,C are constants.
    6. A one fifth scale model of a pump was tested in a laboratory at 1000 rpm. The head
    developed and the power input at the best efficiency point was found to be 8m 30 KW
    respectively. If the prototype pump has to work against a head of 25 m, determine its
    working speed, the power required to drive it and the ratio of the flow rates handled by
    the two pumps.
