    CIVE327 FLUID MECHANICS AND HYDRAULICS

    Assignment No. 6

    1. Consider the 371-mm-diameter pump curve of Fig. 12.9. If the pump is run at 1200 rpm to
    deliver 0.8 m3/s of water, find the resulting head rise and fluid power. (PW&R 12.8)

    970 rpm (ω = 102 rad/s). Water at 20oC is the pumped liquid. (Courtesy of Sulzer Pumps Ltd.)

    2. In Problem 12.8, how high above the suction reservoir can the pump running at 1200 rpm be
    located if the water temperature is 50oC and the atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa? (PW&R 12.9).
    Assume that the pipe diameter is 0.4 m, friction factor f = 0.01, and that the length of the pipe L =
    ∆z.

    3. Prepare dimensionless performance curves for the 205-mm-diameter radial flow pump of Fig.
    12.6. Compare these with the curves shown in Fig. 12.12. Can you explain why there may be
    differences between the two sets of curves? (PW&R 12.10). Prepare only the head-discharge
    performance curve. Find the specific speed of the pump.

    rad/s). Water at 20oC is the pumped liquid. (Courtesy of Sulzer Pumps Ltd.)

    FIGURE 12.12 Dimensionless radial-flow pump performance curves for the pump presented in Fig. 12.6; D = 240
    mm, specific speed = ΩP = CQ1/2/CH3/4 = 0.61
    4. The following performance data were obtained from a test on a 216-mm double-entry centrifugal
    pump moving water at a constant speed of 1350 rev/min:

    Q (m3/min) H (m) ηP
    0 12.2 0
    0.454 12.8 0.26
    0.905 13.1 0.46
    1.36 13.4 0.59
    1.81 13.4 0.70
    2.27 13.1 0.78
    2.72 12.2 0.78
    3.80 11.0 0.74

    Plot H versus Q, ηP versus Q, and W& P versus Q. If the pump operates in a system whose demand
    curve is given by 5 + Q2, find the discharge, head, and power required. In the demand curve, Q is
    given in cubic meters per minute. (PW&R 12.22)

    5. An oil (S = 0.85) is to be pumped through a pipe as shown in Fig. P12.23a. Using the
    characteristic curves of Fig. P12.23b, determine the required impeller diameter, speed, and input
    power to deliver the oil at a rate of 14.2 L/s. Would you determine the actual speed and size of
    the pump to operate at peak efficiency. (PW&R 12.23). Correction to the typo in Figure P12.23a:
    The sum of the minor loss coefficients is ΣK = 0.5 + 1.0, not fifteen.

    6. A model pump (Fig. P12.32) delivers 80oC water at a speed of 2400 rpm. It begins to cavitate
    when the inlet pressure pi = 83 kPa absolute and inlet velocity Vi = 6 m/s.
    (a) Compute the NPSH of the model pump. Neglect losses and elevation changes between the
    inlet section where pi is recorded and the cavitation region in the pump.
    (b) What is the required NPSH of a prototype pump which is four times larger and runs at 1000
    rpm? (PW&R 12.32)
