    The document describes an experiment to determine the efficiency of a multi-stage centrifugal pump. The apparatus includes a test rig with the pump coupled to a DC motor, pressure and vacuum gauges, and a collecting tank. Efficiency is calculated by measuring the pump's output power over its input power for varying flow rates and total heads. The results show that efficiency increases with total head, reaching a maximum of 20.55% at the highest head tested.

    MULTI STAGE CENTRIFUGAL PUMP

    Experiment No. 5

    AIM : To determine the efficiency of multi stage centrifugal pump.

    APPARATUS : 1. Stop watch


    2. Steel rule
    3. Multi stage centrifugal test rig.

    THEORY : The centrifugal pump is coupled to a DC motor mounted on a


    sturdy iron base plate. The suction pipe is provided with a
    suction gauge and foot valve. The delivery pipe with a
    primary valve, delivery control valve and a pressure gauge.
    The discharge from the pump is measured using a collecting
    tank with a gauge glass and scale fittings. The control panel
    switch starter and energy meter provided on an ms stand.

    PROCEDURE : Prime the pump, close the delivery valve and switch on the
    unit open the delivery valve and maintain required delivery
    head. Note the suction head corresponding.
    Measure the area of the collecting tank. Close the drain
    valve and collect water for 20cm raise of water level in the
    tank. The actual discharge is given by AR/T m 3/sec. For
    various head note the discharge for every set of reading note
    the time taken for 10 revolutions of the energy meter.

    FORMULAE : Efficiency (η) = Output/input


    Output = ((WQH)/736) (H.P)
    Head (H) = Pressure gauge reading and vacuum gauge reading
    in Meters.
    W= Specific Weight of Water = 9810 N/m3
    Discharge Q = (AR/T) m3/sec
    A = Area of the Collecting tank
    R = Rise of water Level
    T = Time Taken For rise of water.
    Input = (n* ηm) / (t*E) (watts)
    = ((n/t)*2.44) (H.P)
    Where n = No. of revolutions considered in the energy meter.
    E = Energy Meter Constant. (1500)
    ηm= Mechanical Efficiency (75%)
    t = time taken for “n” Revolutions

    PRECAUTIONS : While starting the pump the delivery valve should be in open
    position.

    Where X is the value of Pressure Gauge in Kgf / cm2.

     Suction Gauge Reading from mm of Hg into meter.


    (X*10.33) / 760.
    Where X is the value of Vacuum Gauge in mm of Hg.

     Where Hg is the difference in Height between Pressure Gauge and Vacuum


    Gauge.

    CALCULATIONS:

    Actual Discharge (Qact) = (Area of the tank*height of rise of the tank) / time taken.
    = (0.1035*0.2)/36
    = 5.75*10-4 m3/sec.
    Output power = (WQH)/736
    = (9810*5.75*10-4 *36)/736
    =0.108 h.p.
    Input power = (n/t)*4.07
    = (5/23)*4.07
    =0.88 h.p

    Efficiency =Output/Input
    =0.108/0.88
    =12.27%.

    Overall Efficiency of the centrifugal pump = 16.22%
