ASSIGNMENT No. - 4
Module 5 :
Que 2. What are the different methods to balance thrust in the centrifugal
pumps? Explain any one out of them. [5M Dec’06]
Que 3. Why are centrifugal pumps used, sometimes in series and sometimes
in parallel ? [ 2 M May’06]
Que 4. Write short note on: Self priming of Pumps? [7M May'04]
Que 5.Whether inward flow centrifugal pump can deliver the discharge?
Justify your answer. [4M Dec'06]
Ans power=649.42 W

Pd=4.3 kg /sqcm
Que 8.Two identical pumps are connected to a pipe system, to lift water to
an overhead tank. Pump 1 has to lift 150 lps against 30 m. pumps 2 has to
work against 25 m . Delivery pipes from pumps 1 and pump 2 join at a point
75 m from pump 1 and very near pump 2. The delivery pipe from pump 1 to
suction is of diameter 300 mm and having f=0.025. The common delivery
pipe from junction to overhead tank as 500 mm diameter,150 m long and of
coefficient of friction 0.02.

Additional Questions :
A radial,single stage,double suction,centrifugal pump is manufacture from
the following data
Q=75 lit/s
H=30 m
Overall efficiency=55 %
D2=290 mm
D1=100 mm
N=1750 rpm
Que 9 Test on a single stage centrifugal pump when running at 1600 rpm
gave following result :
Discharge

Plot curve of total head and efficiency to a base of discharge and find the
specific speed at the best efficiency. The pump is used to lift water from a
reservoir to an irrigation canal through a pipe 30 cm in diameter and 400 m
long, having coefficient of friction 0.0008. The different of the levels
between the water level in the reservoir and canal remark constant at 20 m.
