 PUMP TERMINOLOGY

 Pumping, the addition of energy to a fluid

 Pumping action creates a partial vacuum while

atmospheric pressure forces liquid up.

 Displacement, the discharge of a fluid from a
vessel

 Centrifugal Force, used to produce kinetic

energy

 RECIPROCATING PUMPS
 Based on two stroke principles:
√ High pressure, high efficiency
√ Self-priming
X Small quantity, vibration, physical dimension,
uneven flow

 Used mainly for handling slurries in plant processes

and pipeline applications

 ROTARY PUMPS
 Positive displacement type

High pressure, high efficiency

Liquids must be free of solids
Handle viscous fluids
 Used mainly in, oil burners, soaps and
cosmetics, sugars, syrup, and molasses,
dyes, ink, bleaches, vegetable and
mineral oils

 Gears create voids as they come
out of mesh and liquid flows into
L O B E P U M P S
the cavities
S C R E W P U M P S
 As the gears come back into
C A M P U M P S mesh, the volume is reduced
V A N E P U M P S and the liquid is forced out of
the discharge port
R O T A R Y P U M P S

G E A R P U M P S
 As the teeth come out of
L O B E P U M P S
mesh, liquid flows into the
S C R E W P U M P S
pump and is carried between
C A M P U M P S
the teeth and the casing to the
V A N E P U M P S
discharge side of the pump
 The teeth come back into mesh
and the liquid is forced out the
discharge port

teeth and the pumping chamber
 The rotor surfaces create

 An eccentric cam rotates the
circular plunger (shown in

casing, fluid is swirled around
the edge to the outlet port.

 CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS

 WHAT IS CENTRIFUGAL PUMP?

 WORKING MECHANISM OF A CENTRIFUGAL
PUMP
 ADVANTEGAES AND DISADVANTAGES OF
CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS
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
 Has two main components:
1. Stationary componets, casing,
casing cover and bearings
2. Rotating components, impeller and
shaft
 Classified into three categories ;
Radial Flow, Mixed Flow, Axial Flow
 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 Liquid flow path inside a
delivery side of the pump centrifugal pump
 ADVANTAGES OF CENTRIGUGAL
PUMPS
Advantages

 Simple in construction and cheap

 Handle liquid with large amounts of solids
 No metal to metal fits
 No valves involved in pump operation
 Maintenance costs are lower
 DISADVANTAGES OF
CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS

Disadvantages

 Cannot handle highly viscous fluids efficiently

 Cannot be operated at high heads
 Maximum efficiency holds over a narrow range of
conditions
 PUMPING PROBLEMS
Cavitation

Reduces the pump capacity

Causes metal removal
reduced flow
loss in efficiency
and noise

To avoid cavitation NPSH

 POWER AND EFFICIENCY
CALCULATIONS
•The power supplied to the pump:

…………(1)

Where m=mass flow rate, kg/s

H= total discharge head, N.m/kg
=efficiency
•The power delivered to the fluid:

……………(2)

•From equations (1) and (2) efficiency:

 PUMP SELECTION
 The amount of fluid

 The properties of the fluid

 Type of power supply

 Cost and mechanical efficiency of the pump
