    The document discusses centrifugal pumps. It describes how centrifugal pumps work by using a rotating impeller to impart centrifugal force on a fluid, increasing its pressure and velocity as it moves outward. The document covers classifications of centrifugal pumps, their common applications, main components like the impeller and casing, working principles, advantages like low cost and power usage, and disadvantages such as poor suction power.

    INTRODUCTION
    TO PUMPS
    PUMPS
     A pump is a device used to move the fluids, such as liquids,
    gases, or slurries.
     It increases the mechanical energy of the fluids.
     The additional energy can be used to increase
    • Velocity (Flow rate).
    • Pressure.
    • Elevation.
    CENTIFUGAL PUMP

     A centrifugal pump converts mechanical energy from a


    motor to the energy of a moving fluids.

     A portion of energy goes in to kinetic energy of the fluid


    motion, some into potential energy, against gravity, to a
    higher altitude.

     A centrifugal pump is a rotating machine in which flow


    and pressure are generated dynamically.
     It works on the principle of forced vortex flow or
    centrifugal force.

     Flow is in radial outward direction.


    CLASSIFICATION OF CENTRIFUGAL
    PUMP

     A centrifugal pump may be classified to there number of


    impellers.
     Single stage centrifugal pump:

    One impeller is used in pump.


     Multi-stage centrifugal pump:

    more then one impeller is used.


     Impeller may be CLOSED, SENI_CLOSED or OPEN to
    the system.
    APPLICATIONS
     Centifugal pumps are used in variety of applications:
     Almost 70-80% centrifugal pumps are used in industry
    or for domestic purpose.
     Water supply and Irrigation.

     Chemicals, food, petrochemical industries.

     Mining and for domestic applications.


    CENTRIFUGAL PUMP AND ITS PARTS
    COMPONENTS OF CENTRIFUGAL
    PUMP
     Impeller:
    • The impeller is the main rotating part of the centrifugal
    pump that provide the centrifugal acceleration to the
    fluid.
     Casing:
    • It is an airtight chamber which surrounds the impeller .
    • It is similar to the casing of reaction turbine.
     Suction pump:
    • It is pump which is connected at its upper end to the inlet of the
    pump or to the center of the which is commonly known as eye.
    • From which liquid is to be sump/lifted up.
    • Suction pump is lifted with a valve known as suction valve.
    WORKING PRINCIPLE

     The first step in the operation of the centrifugal pump is


    priming.
     Priming is the operation in which the suction pipe,
    casing of the pump and portion of the delivery pipe up to
    the delivery valve are competed filled with liquid which
    is to be pumped.
     It is done because to remove air from these parts of
    centrifugal pump.
     After primed, delivery valve remains closed.

     The electric motor is started to rotate the impeller.


     The rotation of the impeller in the casing full of liquid
    produce a force vortex or centrifugal force which imparts
    a centrifugal head to the liquid
     When the delivery valve opened the liquid is made to
    flow in an outward radial direction.
     Thus it results, increase in pressure and velocity of liquid
    is to observed at the delivery valve.
    IMPORTANT POINTS

     The increase of pressure at any point is proportional to


    the square of angular velocity and the distance of the
    point from the axis of rotation.
     If the speed to impeller is sufficiently high, the pressure
    and the velocity of the liquid is relatively high.
    Advantage Disadvantage
     Simplicity  Poor suction power.
     Low power consumption.  Produce cavitation.

     Relatively inexpensive.  Corrosion.

     Use for  Can’t deal with viscous


    domestic/commercial fluids like mud and
    purpose. waste.
     Low maintenance.  Can’t be able to work

     weight high speed.


    CONCLUSION
     Transportation of fluids, relatively with high speed.
     Centrifugal pump mostly use for commercial purpose.

     Less power consumption.

     Working mechanism is simple.

     Can be used to pump suspended or toxic fluids.

     Not use for volatile or viscous fluids.
