To conduct a pe:formance test on e given Centrifugal Pump at constant speed and to draw the characteristic curves (Discharge Vs Total Head /Input Power/ Efficiency), eos Apparatus Required 1)Stop Watch 2) Steel Rui. Descrintion : - ~ 4 centrifugal pump consists of an impeller rotating inside @ casing, The impeller has 2 number o curved vanes. Due to the centrifugal head impressed by the rotation of the impeil water enters ai the center and flows outwaras to the periphery. There itis collected in a gradually inareasing Passage in the casing known as volute chember, which serves to convert a partof the velocity head into pressure head. For higher heads, multiswge cen'rifugal pumps having 2 Gr more impellers in - will have to be used. An eneray meter is provided to measure the input power, A collecting _ ‘dec to collect water for determining the discharge. The experimental set-up is shown in2999 0-19 2p Doprocedure: .
