Experiment 9: Centrifugal Pump
Hydraulics Lab - ECIV 3122 Experiment (9): Centrifugal Pump Experiment 9: Centrifugal Pump Introduction: pumps fall into two main categories: positive displacement pumps and rotodynamic pumps . In a positive displacement pump, a fixed volume of fluid is forced from one chamber into another. One of the oldest and most familiar designs is the reciprocating engine, utilising a piston moving inside a cylinder. Steam pumps , the 'nodding donkey', stirrup pumps and hydraulic rams are all of this type. Animal hearts are also positive displacement pumps , which use volume reduction of one chamber to force flow into another chamber. The FM50 pump is, by contrast, a rotodynamic machine. Rotodynamic (or simply dynamic) pumps impart momentum to a fluid, which then causes the fluid to move into the delivery chamber or outlet.
To create head, power and efficiency characteristic curves for a centrifugal pump. Theory One way of illustrating pump characteristics is to construct contour lines of constant power or efficiency on a graph of pump head plotted against pump discharge. These allow engineers to see the maximum efficiency of a pump
