Summary
Objective
This experiment encourage students to study the characteristics of single pump operation with variable flow rate and pump.
Theory
Pumps are used in almost all aspects of industry and engineering from feeds to reactors and distillation columns in chemical engineering to pumping storm water in civil and environmental. They are an integral part of engineering and an understanding of how they work is important.
Pumps are devices that transfer mechanical energy from a prime mover into fluid energy to produce the flow of liquids. There are two broad classifications of pumps: positive displacement and dynamic.
Dynamic Pumps
Dynamic pumps add energy to the fluid by the action of rotating blade, which increases the velocity of the fluid. Figure 1 shows the construction features of a centrifugal pump, the most commonly used type of dynamic pumps.

Horizontal Single Stage Centrifugal Pump
Centrifugal pumps have two major components:
The impeller consists of a number of curved blades (also called vanes) attached in a regular pattern to one side of a circular hub plate that is connected to the rotating driveshaft.
The housing (also called
