The experimental data for the performance test of a double entry Centrifugal Pump is as given below:
tableRun NoTest Speed in rpmDischarge LitminSuction Gauge Reading in m of waterDelivery Gauge Reading in m of waterPower input to the pump in KW
The suction and delivery pipes attached to the pump are of same diameter and the centers of the suction and delivery gauges are located on the same horizontal plane. Plot the following curves using the above testdata at a rated speed of rpm
i Total Head H Vs Discharge Q
ii Pump input Power P Vs Discharge Q
iii Overall Efficiency Vs Discharge Q
Find from these curves the rated head, rated discharge and rated power input of the pump.
