Assignment Fluid Mechanics-II

Problem 1: The impeller of a centrifugal pump having external and internal diameters
600 mm and 300 mm respectively, width at outlet 50 mm and running at 1300 r.p.m.
works
against a head of 48 m. The velocity of flow through the impeller is constant and equal
to
3.5 m/s. The vanes are set back at an angle of 45º at outlet. Determine:
(i) Inlet vane angle,
(ii) Work done by the impeller on water per second, and
(iii) Manometric efficiency.

Problem 2: The impeller of a centrifugal pump has an external diameter of 400 mm and
internal diameter of 180 mm and it runs at 1440 r.p.m. Assuming a constant radial flow
through the impeller at 2·5 m/s and that the vanes at the exit are set back at an angle of
25°, determine : (i) Inlet vane angle, (ii) The angle, absolute velocity of water at the exit
makes with the tangent, and (iii) The work done per N of water.

Problem 3: Centrifugal pump delivers water against a net head of 14·5 m and a design
speed of 1000 r.p.m. The vanes are curved back to an angle of 30° with the periphery.
The impeller diameter is 300 mm and outlet width 50 mm. Determine the discharge of
the pump if manometric efficiency is 95 percent.

Problem 4: The impeller of a centrifugal pump having external and internal diameters
500 mm and 250 mm respectively, width at outlet 50 mm and running at 1000 r.p.m.
works against a head of 40 m. The velocity of flow through the impeller is constant and
equal to 2.5 m/s. The vanes are set back at angle of 40°at outlet. Determine: (i) Inlet
vane angle, (ii) Work done by the impeller on water per second, and (iii) Manometric
efficiency.

Problem 5: Determine the head imparted to a fluid as it passes through an impeller of


250 mm outlet diameter and 100 mm inlet diameter rotated at 1440 r.p.m. The outlet
vane angle is set back at an angle of 20° to the tangent. Assume radial entrance and
velocity of flow as 3 m/s.

Problem 6: A single-acting reciprocating pump, running at 60 r.p.m., delivers 0.53 m3


of water per minute. The diameter of the piston is 200 mm and stroke length 300 mm.
The suction and delivery heads are 4 m and 12 m respectively. Determine:
(i) Theoretical discharge, (ii) Co-efficient of
discharge, (iii) Percentage slip of the pump, and
(iv) Power required to run the pump.

Problem 7: A single-acting reciprocating pump having a bore of 150 mm and a stroke


of 300 mm is raising water to height of 20 m above the sump level. The pump has an
actual discharge of 0.0052 m3/s. The efficiency of the pump is 70%. If the speed of
pump is 60 r.p.m. determine: (i) Theoretical discharge, (ii) Theoretical power, (iii)
Actual power, and (iv) Percentage slip.
Problem 8: A single-acting reciprocating pump operating at 120 r.p.m. has a piston
diameter of 200 mm and stroke of 300 mm. The suction head is 4 m. If the efficiency of
both suction and delivery strokes is 75 percent, and the power required by the pump is
5.9 KW then determine discharge head.

Problem 9: A single-acting reciprocating pump delivers 0.00736 m3/s as compared to


theoretical discharge of 0.00785 m3/s of water. The diameter of the piston is 200 mm
and stroke length 300 mm. The suction head is 3.5 m. Determine:
(i) R.P.M,
(ii) Co-efficient of discharge if pump delivers 0.00720 m3/s,
(iii) Actual discharge if percentage slip of the pump is 5.30%,
(iv) Discharge head if the power required to run the pump is 1.155 KW

Problem 10: A “three throw” pump has cylinders of 150 mm diameter and stroke of
300 mm each. The pump is required to deliver 0.1 m3/s at a head of 50 m. Friction
losses are estimated to be 0.5 m in suction pipe and 9.5 m in delivery pipe. The velocity
of water in delivery pipe is 1 m/s, overall efficiency is 85% and the slip is 3%.
Determine:
(i) Speed of the pump, and
(ii) Power required to run the pump.
