    The document summarizes the study of a centrifugal pump. It describes the parts of a centrifugal pump including the impeller, casing, suction pipe, and delivery pipe. The impeller consists of backward curved vanes and rotates to impart centrifugal force on the liquid. The casing surrounds the impeller and converts the kinetic energy of the liquid into pressure energy. The suction pipe draws liquid into the pump from a sump and the delivery pipe carries the liquid to the required height. During operation, priming fills the pump with liquid before startup to remove air, then the rotating impeller uses centrifugal force to draw liquid in and discharge it through the delivery pipe.

    STUDY OF CENTRIFUGAL PUMP

    AIM:
    To study the parts of centrifugal pump and its working.
    THEORY:
    Pumps are hydraulic machines which convert the mechanical energy to hydraulic energy
    mainly in the form of pressure energy. If the mechanical energy is converted into hydraulic energy
    by means of centrifugal force acting on pump, the pump is called Centrifugal pump. When certain
    mass of liquid is made to rotate by an external source, it is thrown away from the axis of rotation and
    enables it to raise liquid to a higher level. If more liquid is made available at the centre of rotation a
    continuous supply of liquid can be made. Centrifugal pump has wide range of head and it can be
    used to discharge viscous or non-viscous liquids, also the efficiency of centrifugal pump are higher.
    CONSTRUCTIONAL DETAILS:
    The main parts of Centrifugal Pump are:
    1. Impeller
    2. Casing
    3. Suction Pipe
    4. Delivery Pipe
    Impeller:
    The rotating part of a centrifugal pump is called Impeller. It consists of a series of
    backward curved vanes. The impeller is mounted on a shaft which is connected to the shaft of an
    electric motor.
    Casing:
    The casing of a centrifugal pump is similar to the casing of a reaction turbine. It is an air-tight
    passage surrounding the impeller and is designed in such a way that the kinetic energy of the water
    discharged at the outlet of the impeller is converted in to pressure energy before the water
    leaves the casing and enters the delivery pipe.
    Suction pipe with a foot-valve and a strainer:
    A pipe whose one end is connected to the inlet of the pump and other end
    dips in to water in a sump is known as suction pipe. A foot valve which is a non-return valve or
    one way valve is fitted at the lower end of the suction pipe. The foot valve opens only in the
    upward direction. A strainer is also fitted at the lower end of the suction pipe.
    Delivery pipe:
    A pipe whose one end is connected to the outlet of the pump and other end delivers the
    water at a required height is known as delivery pipe.

    WORIKNG OF CENTRIFUGAL PUMP


    First step in the operation of a centrifugal pump is called Priming, which is defined as the
    operation in which the suction pipe, casing of the pump and a portion of delivery pipe up-to delivery
    valve is completely filled up by the liquid to be raised by the pump before starting the pump. Thus
    the air from the parts of pump are removed. The electric motor is started to rotate the impeller and
    the delivery valve is opened slowly so that the liquid starts flowing in an outward radial direction.
    Due to the centrifugal action of vanes vaccum is created. This causes liquid from sump to rush
    through suction pipe to the eye of impeller and discharge takes place to the required height through
    delivery pipe.
    CONCLUSION:
    Study of Centrifugal Pump is conducted successfully.
