Question: Section 1 2 . 4 . 2 Pump Performance Characteristics 1 2 . 1 1 Water is pumped with a centrifugal pump, and measurements made

Section 12.4.2 Pump Performance Characteristics
12.11 Water is pumped with a centrifugal pump, and measurements made on the pump indicate that for a flowrate of 240 gpm the required input power is 6 hp . For a pump efficiency of 62%, what is the actual head rise of the water being pumped?
12.10 A centrifugal radial water pump has the dimensions shown in Fig. P12.10. The volume rate of flow is 0.25ft3s, and the absolute inlet velocity is directed radially outward. The angular velocity of the impeller is 960 rpm . The exit velocity as seen from a coordinate system attached to the impeller can be assumed to be tangent to the vane at its trailing edge. The hydraulic efficiency is 82% and the mechanical efficiency is 96%. Calculate the power required to drive the pump.
