Pump Type
Pumps can be classified according to their basic
principle as:-
Pumps
Dynamic
Centrifugal
Special
Effect
Displacement
Rotary
Reciprocating
V =2gh
NPSH Calculation
Cavitation:
Cavitation begins as the
formation
of
vapor
bubbles at the impeller
eye due to low pressure.
The bubbles form at the
position
of
lowest
pressure at the pump
inlet (see Figure 1),
which is just prior to the
fluid being acted upon
by the impeller vanes,
they are then rapidly
compressed.
Cavitation:
The compression of
the vapor bubbles
produces
a
small
shock
wave
that
impacts the impeller
surface and pits away
at the metal creating
over time large eroded
areas and subsequent
failure. The sound of
cavitation
is
very
characteristic
and
resembles the sound
of gravel in a concrete
mixer.

Power calculations
Assume that we need to pump 68 m3/hr. to a
47 meter head with a pump that is 60%
efficient at that point.
Liquid Power = 68 x 47 / 360 = 8.9 KW
Shaft Power
Loss in Energy
Subtracting the amount of kilowatts we should have
been using from the actual power used gives us
extra power used
=28.6 -14.8
= 13.8 extra kilowatts [ being
used to pump against the throttled discharge valve]
