Lab Report

This laboratory report describes an experiment conducted to determine the head-flowrate (H-Q) curves of two identical centrifugal pumps operating in series and parallel. The experiment involved connecting the pumps in series and parallel configurations and recording the pressure, flowrate, speed, and power input at different flowrates. The recorded data was then used to generate H-Q curves and compare the results to published pump curves. The objectives were to determine the H-Q characteristics of the pumps in series and parallel and compare them to theoretical predictions.

Aim:

To determine the H vs Q curves for two pumps operating in series and parallel, and
compare with their corresponding published curves.

Apparatus:

Two identical single stage centrifugal pumps driven independently by variable speed
motors. Gate valve for regulating flow rate. Pressure transducers. Revolution counters.
Flow meter.

Procedure:

(a) Connect the pumps in series and record the suction, discharge pressure, flow rate and
input power at a constant speed for varying flow rates. Also record the pump speed.
(b) Repeat (a) above with the pumps connected in parallel instead. Maintain the speed
used in (a)

Theory:

Note:
 All the above sections need to expanded upon and written up in your words - the
format (e.g. theory omitted here) above serves only as a guide.
 All graphs to be drawn manually first, before any computer generated graphs are
drawn.
 All manually drawn graphs to be included in appendices, if computer graphs are
included in body of report.
 A conclusions section is a requirement of any laboratory report; recommendations are
advisable – often the conclusions and recommendations can be combined into one
section.
