1. Purpose of Pump
The purpose of a pump is to transfer a fluid from a region of low pressure to another region at the same or higher
pressure.
A pump is a machine that imparts energy into a liquid to lift the liquid to a higher level, to transport the liquid from
one place to another, to pressurize the liquid for some useful purpose, or to circulate the liquid in a piping system by
overcoming the frictional resistance of the piping system.

3. Definitions
Total dynamic head or dynamic head is the sum of the pressure and velocity heads at a given section stated in
units of feet of the fluid flowing.
Total dynamic suction lift is applied to pumps handling cold water and is the reading of a manometer or vacuum
gage (converted to feet of the fluid flowing).
Net positive suction head (NPSH) is the difference between the absolute dynamic pressure of the liquid measured
at the centerline of a pump and the saturation pressure corresponding to the temperature of the liquid at the same
point, all expressed ion terms of feet head of the fluid flowing. NPSH may also be defined as the pressure at the
pump suction flange, corrected to the pump centerline, that prevents vaporization of the water.
Developed head (DH) is the difference between the sum of the absolute pressure head and velocity head (or
absolute dynamic head) at the outlet of the pump and the sum of the absolute pressure head and velocity head (or
absolute dynamic head) at the inlet, both corrected to the centerline of the pump and expressed in feet head of the
fluid.
Static head is the height of the surface of water above the gauge point.
Pressure head is the static head plus gauge pressure on the water surface plus friction head.
Velocity head is the head required to produce a flow of the water.
Suction lift the vertical distance in feet (meters) from the liquid supply level to the pump center line with the pump
physically located above the liquid level supply.
Suction head - the vertical distance in feet (meters) from the liquid supply level to the pump center line with the
pump physically located below the liquid level supply.
A. PUMPS - LECTURE
Static discharge head the vertical distance in feet (meters)between the pump center line and the point of free
discharge on the surface of the liquid in the discharge tank.
Total static head the vertical distance in feet (meters) between the liquid level of the supply and the point of free
discharge on the surface of the liquid in the discharge tank.
Friction head - the head required to overcome the resistance to flow in the pipe and fittings.
Total dynamic suction lift is the static suction lift plus the velocity head at the pump suction flange plus the total
friction head in the suction pipeline.
Total dynamic suction head - is the static suction head minus the velocity head at the pump suction flange minus the
total friction head in the suction pipeline.
Total dynamic discharge head is the static discharge head plus the velocity head at the pump discharge flange plus
the total friction head in the discharge line.
Capacity is the rate of flow of fluid measure per unit time, usually gallons per minute (gpm) or liters per minute
(lpm).
Centrifugal pump a pump in which the pressure is developed principally by the action of centrifugal force.
End suction pump a single suction pump having its suction nozzle on the opposite side of the casing from the
stuffing box and having the face of the suction nozzle perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shaft.
In Line pump a centrifugal pump whose drive unit is supported by the pump having its suction and discharge
flanges on approximately the same center.
Horizontal pump a pump with the shaft normally in a horizontal position.
Vertical shaft turbine pump a centrifugal pump with one or more impellers discharging into one or more bowls and
a vertical educator or column pipe used to connect the bowls to the discharge head on which the pump driver is
mounted.
Horizontal split-case pump a centrifugal pump characterized by a housing which is split parallel to the shaft.
Booster pump is a pump that takes suction from a public service main or private use water system for the purpose
of increasing the effective water pressure.
Submersible pump is a vertical turbine pump with the pump and motor closed coupled and designed to be
installed underground, as in the case of a deepwell pump.

7.6 Centrifugal Pumps in Parallel and Series Operations.

a. Parallel pumps performance is obtained by adding the capacities at the same head.
b. Series pumps performance is obtained by adding the heads at the same capacity.
8. Cavitation
Cavitation is a two-stage phenomenon consisting of the formation of vapor cavities resulting from low
pressure and their collapse as they move out of the low-pressure into higher pressure regions. The higher pressure
region causing the vapor cavity to collapse can be immediately following the formation of the vapor cavity or some
distance downstream from the impeller inlet, depending on the downstream pressure conditions and the quantity
of vapor formed.
Net positive suction head (NPSH) is the term used by the pump industry for describing pump cavitation
characteristics. NPSH is defined as the pressure (head) in excess of the saturation pressure of the fluid being
pumped. NPSH is expressed as NPSH A (available) and NPSHR (required).
NPSHA is the NPSH available or existing at the pump installed in the system.
NPSHR is a performance characteristic of a pump and is established through closed loop or valve suppression
tests conducted by the pump manufacturer.
Causes of Cavitation:
a. Low suction pressure
b. Low atmospheric pressure
c. High liquid temperature
d. High velocity
e. Rough surfaces and edges
f. Sharp bends
Bad effects of Cavitation:
a. Drop in capacity and efficiency
b. Noise and vibration
c. Corrosion and pitting

C. AIR (GAS) COMPRESSORS - LECTURE

1. Introduction
Air or Gas compressor - is a machine used to increase the pressure of air (or gas) by decreasing its volume.
2. Classification of air compressors.
2.1 Positive Displacement Compressors
Positive displacement compressors are those in which successive volumes of air are confined within a closed
space and elevated to a higher pressure.
2.1.1 Reciprocating compressors where the compressing and displacing element (piston or diaphragm) has a
reciprocating motion.
2.1.2 Screw (Helical or spiral lobe) compressors are machines in which two intermeshing rotors, each in helical
configuration displace and compress the air.
2.1.3 Sliding-vane compressors are machines in which axial vanes slide radially a rotor motor mounted
eccentrically within a cylindrical casing.
2.1.4 Two impeller straight-lobe compressors are machines in which two straight, mating but non-touching
lobes impellers trap the air and carry it from intake to discharge.
2.2 Dynamic Compressors
Dynamic compressors are rotary continuous-flow machines in which the rapidly rotating element accelerates
the air as it passes through the element, converting the velocity head into pressure, partially in the rotating
element and partially in stationary diffusers or blades.
2.2.1 Centrifugal compressors where acceleration of the air is obtained through the action of one or more
rotating impellers.

D. MACHINERY FOUNDATIONS - LECTURE

1. Definitions
Foundation is that part of structure which transmit the loads to the supporting material.
Monolithic Foundation is a concrete foundation which is formed by pouring the entire concrete mixture
continuously at one time and allowing the structure to harden as a whole unit.
Grouting a process of filling a small clearance between machine and foundation, after the machine is aligned and
leveled, by using a special hardening mixture.
2. Functions of Foundations.
2.1 Support the weight of the engine.
2.3 Maintain proper alignment with the driven machinery, and
2.4 Absorb the vibration produced by unbalanced forces created by reciprocating revolving masses.
3. Materials
The foundation should be concrete, of 1 part cement, 2 parts sand and 4 parts broken stone or gravel (50 mm max).
To produce 1 cu yd of concrete using 1:2:4 mixture, the following are needed: 6 sacks cement, 0.44 cu yd sand
and 0.88 cu yd stone. (To produce 1 m3 of concrete using 1:2:4 mixture, the following are needed: 7.8 sacks cement,
0.44 m3 sand and 0.88 m3 stone).
For given properties of concrete mixture use
V (ratio )
Vx = x c
SGw
4. Recommended Dimensions
4.1 The distance of the edges of the foundation from the bedplate must be 6 in (150 mm) to 12 in (300 mm) to
secure the bolts within the foundation.
4.2 The vertical distance from the floor or soil level to the top edge of the foundation must be around 6 inches (150
mm) as minimum depth.
4.3 The foundation depth maybe taken to be 3.2 to 4.2 times the engine stroke, the lower factor for well-balanced
multi-cylinder engines and higher factor got engines with fewer cylinders, or on less firm soil.

4.4 Foundations should be isolated from floor slabs or building footings at least 25 mm around its perimeter to
eliminate transmission of vibration. Fill openings with watertight mastic.
5. Weight of Foundation
5.1 The minimum weight required to absorb vibration could be expressed as a function of the reciprocating masses
and the speed of the engine. However, for practical purposes it is simpler to use the empirical formula.
WF = e WE N
where :
WF = weight of foundation, kg
WE = weight of the engine, kg
e = empirical coefficient from PSME Code 2008, page 13. If not given and no table available, use e = 0.11.
5.2 Foundation mass should be from 3 to 5 times the weight of the machinery it is supposed to support.
5.3 In computation 2,406 kg/m3 or 150 lb/ft3 may be used as weight of concrete.
6. Volume of Concrete Foundation.
If the weight and speed of the engine are not known, the volume of concrete for the foundation may be estimated
by the following data from PSME Code 2008, page 13.
7. Bearing Pressure
The first objective is achieved by making its supporting area sufficiently large. The safe loads vary from 4,890
kg/m2 for alluvial soil or wet clay to 12,225 kg/m3. (The latter is assumed to be a safe load average).
2

The weight of the machine plus the weight of the foundation should be distributed over a sufficient soil area
which is large enough to cause a bearing stress within the safe bearing capacity of the soil with a factor of safety of
five (5).
Knowing the bearing capacity of the soil, solve for the base width b. For machine foundation use only of the
given safe soil bearing capacity,
Sb WE + WF WE + WF
=
=
2
Ab
bL
Then compute the depth of the foundation h.
a+b
VF =
hL
2
Make adjustment in the dimensions if necessary provided that the required volume is maintained and without
reducing base area.
8. Steel Bar Reinforcement

Concrete foundations should have steel bar reinforcements placed both vertically and horizontally, to avoid thermal
cracking. Weight of reinforcing steel should be from % to 1 of the weight of foundation.
9. Foundation Bolts
Foundation bolts of specific size should be used and surrounded by a pipe sleeve with an inside diameter of at
least three (3) times the diameter of the anchor bolt and a length of at least 18 times the diameter of the bolt. No
foundation bolts shall be less than 12 mm diameter.
To prevent pulling out of the bolts when the nuts are tightened, the length embedded in concrete should be
equal to at least thirty (3) times the bolt diameter. The upper ends are surrounded by a 50 mm or 75 mm sheet
metal pipe, 460 mm to 610 mm long to permit them to bend slightly to fit the holes to the bedplate.

E. HEAT TRANSFER AND HEAT EXCHANGERS- LECTURE

1. Definitions.
Heat is defined as energy in transition due to a temperature difference.
Heat exchanger is any device which effects a transfer of heat from one substance to another.
Heat exchanger the equipment used to implement heat exchange between two flowing fluids that are at different
temperatures and separated by a solid wall.
Examples: boilers, evaporators, economizers, superheaters, condensers, coolers and heaters.
Heat transfer is the term applied to a study in which the details or mechanisms of the transfer of energy in the
form of heat are of primary concern.
Hear transfer - is energy in transit, which occurs as a result of a temperature gradient or difference.
2. Modes of Heat Transfer.
2.1 Conduction when the transition takes place because of contact of the particles of one or more bodies.
Conduction is the transmission of heat through a substance without perceptible motion of the substance itself.
2.2 Convection when the energy is transferred because of the motion or mixing of the particles of a fluid.
Convection is the term applied to heat transfer due to bulk movement of a fluid.
Free convection the substance moves because of the decrease in its density which is caused by increase I n
temperature.
Forced convection the substance moves because of the application of mechanical power such as that of a fan.
2.3 Radiation when all matters receive or reject energy to some degree as a wave motion.
Radiation is the transfer of energy by electromagnetic radiation having a defined range of wavelengths.

Radiation is a heat transfer in which invisible electromagnetic waves are passed from one body to another through
space.
Reflectivity, is the fraction of the radiant energy reflected by a body.
Absorptivity, is the fraction of the radiant energy absorbed by the body.
Transmissivity, is the fraction of the radiant energy transmitted through the body.
+ + = 1
Perfect black body is any body that would absorb all the radiant energy it received.
Kirchhoffs law states that the ratio of the rate of emitting and absorbing energy is a constant for any body for a
given temperature and wave length.
Emissivity of any body is the ratio of the rate of emission of radiant energy for that body to the rate of emission
for a perfect black body under the same conditions. Also called emittance .
Gray Body is the actual body that radiates less heat than a black body.
26. Stefan-Boltzmann Law

F. REFRIGERATION - LECTURE
1. Definitions:
1.1 Reversed cycle is a system that receives heat from a colder body and delivers heat to a hotter body, not in
violation of the second law, but by virtue of a work input.
1.2 Refrigeration is to maintain a cold region at a temperature below the temperature of its surroundings.
1.3 Refrigeration is defined as the process of extracting heat from a lower-temperature heat source, substance, or
cooling medium and transferring it to a higher-temperature heat sink.
1.4 Vapor compression systems In vapor compression systems, compressors activate the refrigerant by
compressing it to a higher pressure and higher temperature level after it has produced its refrigeration effect.
The compressed refrigerant transfers its heat to the sink and is condensed to liquid form. This liquid refrigerant
is then throttled to a low-pressure, low temperature vapor to produce refrigerating effect during evaporation.
Vapor compression systems are the most widely adopted refrigeration systems in both comfort and process air
conditioning.
1.5 Absorption systems In an absorption system, the refrigeration effect is produced by thermal energy input.
After absorbing heat from the cooling medium during evaporation, the vapor refrigerant is absorbed by an
absorbent medium. This solution is then heated by direct-fired furnace, waste heat, hot water, or steam. The
refrigerant is again vaporized and then condensed to liquid to begin the refrigeration cycle again.
1.6 Air or gas expansion systems In an air or gas expansion system, air or gas is compressed to a high pressure by
mechanical energy. It is then cooled and expanded to a low pressure. Because the temperature of air or gas
drops during expansion, a refrigeration effect is produced.
1.7 Refrigerant is the primary working fluid used for absorbing and transmitting heat in a refrigeration system.
Refrigerants absorb heat at a low temperature and low pressure and release heat at a higher temperature and
pressure.
1.8 Cooling medium is the working fluid cooled by the refrigerant to transport the cooling effect between a central
plant and remote cooling units and terminals.
1.9 Liquid Absorbents A solution known as liquid absorbent is often used to absorb the vaporized refrigerant
(water vapor) after its evaporation in an absorption refrigeration system. This solution, containing the absorbed
vapor, is then heated at high pressure. The refrigerant vaporizes, and the solution is restored to its original
concentration for reuse. Lithium bromide and ammonia, both in a water solution, are the liquid absorbents used
most often in absorption refrigerating systems.

Tons of refrigeration is the amount of heat that must be extracted to freeze 1 ton of water at 32 F into ice at 32 F
(at 1 atm) in 1 day. Since the latent heat of fusion of water is closely 144 Btu/lb, we find (144)(2000) = 288,000
Btu/day = 12,000 Btu/hr.
4. Ideal Vapor Compression Cycle.
The cycle consists of the following series of processes:

Process 12: Isentropic compression of the refrigerant from state 1 to the condenser pressure at state 2.
Process 23: Heat transfer from the refrigerant as it flows at constant pressure through the condenser. The
refrigerant exits as a liquid at state 3.
Process 34: Throttling process from state 3 to a two-phase liquidvapor mixture at 4.
Process 41: Heat transfer to the refrigerant as it flows at constant pressure through the evaporator to complete
the cycle.
