11:-7
The impeller of a centrifugal pump is 0.5 m
in diameter and rotates at 1200 r .p. m.;
blades are curved back to an angle of 30°
to the tangent at outlet tip. If the measured
velocity of flow at outlet is 5 m/ sec. If the
pump is provided with whirlpool chamber
which reduces the velocity of water by
50%.Tangential velocity of runner at outlet
هذا هو جوابك
الجواب -1
1) The peripheral speed at impeller outlet
Tx0.5x1200
= 31.4m/s
%3D
60
V2 = 5m/s (given)
Work input per unit weight of
Vw2 U2 - (31.4-5cot 30°)x 31.4
Water =
9.81
=72.78m
Under ideal condition (without loss), the total head developed by the pump = 72.78 m
Absolute velocity of water at the outlet
V2 = (31.4-5cot 30)2 +52
=23.28 m/s
At the whirlpool chamber,
The velocity of water at delivery = 0.5 23.28m/s
Therefore the pressure head at impeller outlet
(0.5x23.28)2
=72.78 -
2x9.81
= 65.87m
Hence, we theoretical maximum lift = 65.87m
