characteristics of a Centrifugal pump. The Centrifugal pump is largely used in petrochemical industries to move liquids around the plants and refineries. Through common practise of Centrifugal pump operating characteristics is it possible to determine the optimum conditions of particular conditions. The results of typical characteristics are expressed on this work in terms of pump discharge pressure‚ pump efficiency‚ and power demand at various pump speeds of verses pump discharge.

CENTRIFUGAL PUMP A centrifugal pump converts the input power to kinetic energy in the liquid by accelerating the liquid by a revolving device - an impeller. The most common type is the volute pump. Fluid enters the pump through the eye of the impeller which rotates at high speed. The fluid is accelerated radially outward from the pump chasing. A vacuum is created at the impellers eye that continuously draws more fluid into the pump. The energy created by the pump is kinetic energy according the
Premium Fluid dynamics
Centrifugal pump A centrifugal pump is a rotodynamic pump that uses a rotating impeller to increase the pressure of a fluid. Centrifugal pumps are commonly used to move liquids through a piping system. The fluid enters the pump impeller along or near to the rotating axis and is accelerated by the impeller‚ flowing radially outward into a diffuser or volute chamber (casing)‚ from where it exits into the downstream piping system.[1][2] Centrifugal pumps are used for large discharge through smaller

AUTOMATIC WATER PUMP CONTROLLER The automatic water pump controller is used to control the water pump motor. The motor gets automatically switched on when water in the overhead tank (OHT) falls below the lower limit. Similarly‚ it gets switched off when the tank is filled up. Built around only one NAND gate IC (CD4011)‚ the circuit is simple‚ compact and economical. It works off a 12V DC power supply and consumes very little power. The circuit can be divided into two parts: controller circuit and

Food Miles A food mile is the distance food travels from the farm to the store where you buy it‚ and these miles are costly to the environment. They are among the fastest-growing sources of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. The concept of food miles started in the early 1990’s in the United Kingdom .The more the food miles that are attached to a particular food‚ the less sustainable and the less environmentally the food is desired.
