Accepted Answers:
discharge varies directly as speed
5) Consider the following statements regarding the pump and system9 points
characteristics for a centrifugal pump:
(i) The point of intersection between the system characteristics and the pump
characteristic on head-discharge plane is the operating point.
(ii) The point of intersection between the system characteristics and the pump
characteristic on efficiency-discharge plane is the operating point.
(iii) The operating point may or may not lie at the design point.
Out of the above statements:
(i) and (iii) are correct
(ii) and (iii) are correct
only (i) is correct
(i), (ii) and (iii) are correct
No, the answer is incorrect.
Score: 0
Accepted Answers:
(i) and (iii) are correct
6) For a centrifugal pump the net positive suction head (NPSH) is defined as 9 points

NPSH= (velocity head + pressure head) at suction

NPSH= (velocity head + pressure head) at discharge
NPSH= (velocity head + pressure head - vapour pressure of the liquid) at suction
NPSH= (velocity head + pressure head - vapour pressure of the liquid) at
discharge
No, the answer is incorrect.
Score: 0
Accepted Answers:
NPSH= (velocity head + pressure head - vapour pressure of the liquid) at suction
7) If pump NPSH requirements are not satisfied 8 points

it will consume excessive power

it will not develop head
it will cavitate
the efficiency will be low
No, the answer is incorrect.
Score: 0
Accepted Answers:
it will cavitate

at the speed of 700 rpm. The blades are curved back to an angle of 30° to the tangent at
outlet tip and velocity of flow through impeller is 2 m/s. If all the kinetic energy at
impeller outlet is wasted, the impeller diameter at the outlet ( in cm) will be in the range
of
