WHAT IS CENTRIFUGAL
PUMP?
Convert the mechanical energy
into hydraulic energy by
centrifugal force on the liquid
Constitute the most common
type of pumping machinery
Used to move liquids through a
piping system

WORKING MECHANISM
OF A CENTRIFUGAL
PUMP
Simplest piece of equipment in any process
plant
Energy changes occur by virtue of impeller
and volute
Liquid is fed into the pump at the center of a
rotating impeller and thrown outward by
centrifugal force
The conversion of kinetic energy into
pressure energy supplies the pressure
difference between the suction side and
delivery side of the pump

Multistage Centrifugal
Pump
A centrifugal pump that consists of two or more impellers
mounted on the same
shaft or on different shafts is called the MULTISTAGE
centrifugal pump.
Multistage pumps are employed to accomplish
the following two important
functions.
1. To produce a high head
2. To develop a high discharge

1. To produce a high
head
If a high head is to be developed the impeller are connected in
series or same shaft

PUMPING PROBLEM
Cavitation
Cavitation is defined as the phenomenon of formation of vapour
bubbles and sudden collapsing of vapour bubbles
effect of cavitation
1.The metallic surface damage and cavities are formed on surface
2.Due sudden collapse of vapour bubble .considerable noise and
vibration are produce
3.The efficiency of pump decreases due cavitation
To avoid cavitation

CONCLUSIONS
1.Centrifugal pump is a kind of machinery used for
pumping water through the centrifugal movement
2.positive displacement pumps will always be more
efficient than centrifugal pumps due
3. As a conclusion, we had obtained a performance
curve at 3 different speed of pump by avariable
characteristic. The efficiency of pump have related
to the losses mean energy duringthe process. This
efficiency will be increase if less loss occurs
