Fluid Properties
Density(): it is the mass per unit volume
= mass/volume = M/v (Kg/m3)
for water (w = 1000 kg/m3) at 4o c
Specific Weight(): defined as Weigh per unit volume
= weight/ volume = W/V ( N/m3 )
=g
for water (w = 9800 N/m3 )
S.G. = f / w

Piping System Calculations:
Static suction head (hs.s): The static suction
head is the difference in elevation between the
wet well liquid level and the datum elevation of
the pump impeller. If the wet well liquid level is
below the pump datum, so hs is negative.
In SI units, P = g Q Hm/c
Psh= g QHm/C
Pump efficiency
Pump efficiency is defined as the ratio between the
output power and input power which is usually range
from 20 to 85%.

Pumps
Pumps are divided into three groups:
Radial-flow pumps
Mixed-flow pumps
Axial-flow or propeller pumps.
Aging of pipes,
For example, the use of a discharge valve to change the system head for
the purpose of varying pump flow during a shop performance test.
The maximum flow is obtained with a completely open valve, and the
only resistance to flow is the friction in the piping, fittings, and flow meter.

Impellers
This casing section collects the liquid discharged by the impeller and converts
velocity energy to pressure energy.
A centrifugal pump volute increases in area from its initial point until it
encompasses the full 360 around the impeller and then flares out to the final
discharge opening.
In propeller and other pumps in which axial-flow impellers are used, it is not
practical to use a volute casing; instead, the impeller is enclosed in a pipe-like
casing.
A pump in which the head is developed by
a single impeller is called a single-
stage pump.
Often the total head to be developed
requires the use of two or more
impellers operating in series,or multi-
stage, each taking its suction from the
discharge of the preceding impeller.

MECHANICAL SEALS
The conventional stuffing box design and
composition packing are impractical to use for sealing
a rotating shaft for many conditions of service.
Secondary seals:
These consist of O-rings or other suitable gasket
materials.
Hardware:
This consists mainly of the spring(s) and a retainer,
normally made of a series 300 stainless steel.
Basic components of a mechanical seal..
Comparison of packing and mechanical seals
Advantages Disadvantages
Packing
1. Lower initial cost
2. Easily installed as rings and glands
are split
3. Good reliability to medium pressures 1. Relatively high leakage
and shaft speeds
4. Can handle large axial movements 2. Requires regular maintenance
(thermal expansion of stuffing box
versus shaft) 3. Wear of shaft and shaft sleeve
5. Can be used in rotating or can be relatively high
reciprocating applications 4. Power losses may be high
6. Leakage tends to increase gradually,
giving warning of impending
breakdown
Advantages Disadvantages
Mechanical seals
1. Very low leakage/no leakage
2. Require no maintenance
