Pump
The hydraulic machines, which convert the
mechanical energy into hydraulic energy, is
called pump. Hydraulic energy is in the
form of pressure energy.
Classification of Pumps
Rotadynamic pump (Centrifugal pump )
Centrifugal pumps are the machine which employ centrifugal force to lift liquids from a lower level to higher level by developing pressure.
Main Components1. Impeller .2. Casing .3. Suction pipe .4. Discharge pipe .
Different Parts of a Centrifugal Pump
ImpellerThe wheel fitted with a series of backward curved vanes is known as impeller.
Different Parts of a Centrifugal Pump
Types of Impeller:
1. Shrouded or closed impeller ( fig A)
2. Semi open impeller (fig. B)
3. Open impeller (fig. C )
Casing
The casing of a centrifugal pump is an air tight chamber covering the impeller.
Volute type Casing.
The cross-sectional area of the casing is gradually increased .
Kinetic energy of fluid is converted into pressure energy .
Priming
Obviously an impeller running in air would produce only a small head.
The first step in the operation of a centrifugal pump is to fill the pump with the liquid to be pumped.
This process is called the priming of the pump.
Priming is done by pouring liquid into the funnel provided for this purpose.
Cavitation is defined as the formation of bubbles and vapor filled cavities in a flowing fluid as a result of reduction in fluid pressure.
Vapor cavities are formed when the pressure at any point in a flow field falls to the vapor pressure of the liquid at that temperature.
The negative pressure at any point in a pump should not exceed the limiting pressure given by
Hn = Ha – Hv
Hn limiting negative pressure head
Ha atmospheric pressure
Hv vapor pressure head
Cavitation
Effects of Cavitation
1. The normal flow pattern is changed as the cavitation occurs. This disturbs the smooth flow.
2. The hydraulic machines indicate a sudden loss in efficiency as soon as cavitation occurs.
3. As cavitation occurs, it may cause vibration. It may further lead to fatigue stresses and excessive wear.
4. Cavitation is usually accompanied by noise.
5. The cavitating parts in the flow phenomenon cause an increase in the drag force.
6. Some of the boundary material may be eaten away at the points where cavitation occurs. It is known as pitting.
Net Positive Suction Head
NPSH is defined as the net head in meters of liquid that is required to make the liquid flow through the suction pipe from the sump to the impeller.
NPSH requiredIt is a function of the pump design. This is positive head in meters absolute required at the pump suction to overcome pump internal head losses. Pump manufacturer generally provide this information.
NPSHa must always be greater than NPSHr or
damage to the pump will occur due to cavitation.
NPSH availableIt is available head at inlet of the pump.
• Static Head:
• Static head is the difference of elevation between the liquid surface in the sump and that in the reservoir to which the
liquid is delivered.
• Hs = hs + hd
• hs suction head
• hd delivery head
Manometric Head: The manometric head is the
head developed in the pump. It is equal to the energy given to the liquid by the impeller minus the losses in the pump.
Hm = Energy Given – Losses in the pump
Hm = Hs + Losses in the pipe + Vd
2/g
Efficiencies
Mechanical EfficiencyIt is defined as Power developed by the impeller to the power supplied by the motor.
Manometric EfficiencyIt is defined as ratio of power developed by the pump to the power supplied by the impeller.

Reciprocating Pump
Single Acting
Types of Reciprocating Pump
Two types1. Single Acting Reciprocating pump .2. Double Acting Reciprocating Pump .
Double Acting
Positive Displacement Pumps
24
Positive displacement pumps always produce a fixedamount of liquid to flow per revolution unlike the nonpositive displacement or dynamic pump
Works with high pressure comparing the dynamic pump Small and compact sizeGood performance
But Why we use centrifugal pumps ? For low pressure and high volume flow generally used for
supplying purpose
For which reason the Positive Displacement Pumps ? For high pressure and fixed volume purpose , generally
used for fluid power
