A centrifugal pump is pumping water at a rate of 35.55 gal/min. The pressures at the inlet, and outlet of the pumps are -2.26 psig and 7.715 psig respectively. The outlet pipe is placed 10 inches higher than the inlet pipe. The inlet and outlet diameters of the pipe are 1.85 in and 1.6 in respectively and the torque produced by the pump rotating at 1593 rpm is 3.172 ft.Ibf. Calculate the following in SI units: a) Total head b)...

The centrifugal pump as described in Q5.8 is operating with a pre-whirl of 10° (i.e. Ui is inclined by 10° from the radial axis in the rotational direction). The centrifugal pump delivers 0.45 m3/s ofwater when it is running at the angular velocity of ω-1200 rpm Sketch the velocity triangles at inlet and exit of the impeller and hence determine the following items by assuming (a) negligible losses; and (b) Vi enters the impeller with θ| and V2 leaves with...
The rotor shown below rotates with an angular velocity of 2000 rpm. Assume that the fluid enters in the radial direction and the relative velocity is tangent to the blades across the entire rotor. Find the exit normal velocity (ft/s) and exit velocity of the blade in terms of inlet. Draw the inlet and outlet velocity triangles. Is the device a pump or a turbine? Explain. Hint: create a velocity triangle at (1) and (2) and compare them. Does the...
After graduating from OSU, you started working with a pump manufacturer. You are in a team to design a small pump to deliver 0.25 ft/s. It is reasonable to assume water enters the pump in radial direction. The electromotors available at the company inventory are all single speed 960 rpm motors. Technical drawings of the initial phase of design is on the wall. The wheel has a blade angle of 55° with tangential direction at exit. Initial lab test shows...
