►A pump is device used to
move the fluids, such as

Centrifugal Pump
►A centrifugal pumps converts mechanical energy

from
a motor to the energy of a moving fluids.
A portion of the energy goes in to kinetic energy of the
fluid motion, some into potential energy, against
gravity, to a higher altitude.

7
►A centrifugal pump is a rotating machine in

which
flow and pressure are generated dynamically.
It works on the principle of forced vortex flow or
centrifugal force.

►
Flow is in radial outward direction.

Classification Of Centrifugal Pump
► Centrifugal pump may be classified to there number

• Multi-satge centrifugal pump: More than One
impellers is used.
• Impellers may be CLOSED, SEMI CLOSED or OPEN to
the system.

Components of centrifugal pump:
1.Impeller:
►The impeller is the main rotating part of
the
centrifugal pump that provides the centrifugal
acceleration to the fluid.
► is an airtight chamber which surrounds the impeller.
2.Casing:
It is similar to the casing of reaction turbine.
►

3. Suction pump:
► It is pump which is connected at its upper end to the
of the pump or to the center of the which is commonly
inlet
known as eye.

► From which liquid is to be sump/lifted up.

13
4. Discharge Pipe:
► It is a pump which is connected at its lower end to the
pump
it delivers the liquid to the required height.
- Just near the outlet of the pump there is valve known as
discharge valve.

► Liquid contain pressure as compare to inlet.

Important Points
►The increase of pressure at any point is proportional
to
the square of angular velocity and the distance of the
point from the axis of rotation.
► If the speed to impeller is sufficiently high,
pressure and the velocity of the liquid is relatively
