    The document describes an experiment to test the performance of a gear pump. Key steps included: 1. Taking readings of discharge, pressure, time and power at increasing pressure levels from 1-6 kg/cm2. 2. Calculating head, discharge, input power, output power, and overall efficiency from the readings and pump specifications. 3. Plotting performance characteristic curves of head vs discharge, input power, output power and efficiency. The curves showed that discharge remains constant with head while input power increases linearly with head. Output power increases then decreases with head and efficiency passes through the average of input and output power.

    Test on a Gear pump

    Experimental Procedure:
    1. Check all the connections properly
    2. Ensure the proper oil level in the reservoir tank
    3. Ensure that control valve is fully open
    4. Start the setup
    5. Wait for 1 minute to stabilize the setup
    6. Close the control valve gently such that discharge pressure gauge shows 1 kg/cm2
    7. Run the setup for 2 revolutions of the energy meter disc
    8. Note down the time (sec.) required for that 2 revolutions of the energy meter disc
    9. Simultaneously note down the initial and final reading from the measuring tank
    10. Also note down the suction and discharge pressure readings
    11. Drain out the oil from the measuring tank
    12. Repeat the steps from 6 to 11 for next readings (for e.g. 2 kg/cm2,3 kg/cm2.....)
    13. After taking few readings shut down the setup

    Observations:
    1. Energy meter constant (E) = 900 rev/(KW-hr)
    2. Area of cross section of the measuring tank (A) = 900 cm2
    3. Specific Gravity of the oil (s) = 0.84
    4. No. of revolutions of the energy meter disc (n) = 2
    5. Efficiency of Electric Motor (η) = 90 %

    Test on a Gear pump

    Calculations:
    1. Head (H):
     Suction head (Hs) = Ps/(ρg)
    e.g. Hs=(80*13.6*9.81)/(840*9.81) = 1.2952 m
     Delivery head (Hd) = Pd/(ρg)
    e.g. Hd=(1*104*9.81)/(840*9.81) = 11.9048 m
     Total head (H) = Suction head (Hs)+ Delivery head (Hd)
    =.................. (m)
    e.g. H = 1.2952+11.9048 = 13.2 m
    2. Discharge (Q):
    Discharge (Q) = (C/S Area of measuring tank* Difference in readings)/Time
    required
    =.................. (m3/s)

    e.g. Q = [900*10-4*(11-7.4)]*10-2/35 = 9.2571*10-5 (m3/s)


    3. Input power:

    Input power =
    1
    E∗t ( )
    ∗n∗η∗3600

    =................ (kW)

    e.g. Input power =


    1
    900∗35 (
    ∗2∗0 . 9∗3600 )
    = 0.205 (kW)
    4. Output Power:
    Output Power = Pressure * Discharge
    =................. (kW)
    =(1*104*9.81)* 9.2571*10-5=9.0812 W = 9.0812*10-3 kW
    5. Overall Efficiency (ηo):
    Overall Efficiency = Output Power / Input power
    =...................%
    e.g. Overall Efficiency = 9.0812*10-3 / 0.205 = 0.04429 = 4.43 %

    Conclusion:
    Thus test on gear pump has been carried out and performance characteristics curves
    are plotted for the same. From these curves following conclusions can be made,
    1. The discharge nearly remains constant over wide range of head
    2. Input power increases linearly with head
    3. Input power curve has intercept on y-axis due to friction power
    4. Output power first increases linearly with head but later on decreases
    5. Output power curve passes through origin due to zero pressure
    6. Efficiency curve shows average of Input power and Output power
