Best Answer

Centrifugal pumps generally obey what are known as the pump laws. These laws state that the flow rate or capacity is directly proportional to the pump speed; the discharge head is directly proportional to the square of the pump speed; and the power required by the pump motor is directly proportional to the cube of the pump speed.

How do you open centrifugal pump?

its having high speed electrical motor.with joint of centrifugal casing . so first of all open this centrifugal casing by spaners. then do disassembly


When speed is double the centrifugal force also double?

When speed is doubled, the centrifugal (or centripetal) force increases by a factor of 4. One formula you can use (for centripetal acceleration) is: a = v2 / r. Force, of course, is proportional to acceleration.


What different between centrifugal pumps and multi pumps?

A centrifugal pump works by using centrifugal force. A multi pump is short for a multistage centrifugal pump with two or more impellers.


What are characteristics of centrifugal pump?

centrifugal pump is that machine which converts the mechanical energy into pressure energy . 1. it produces th pressure energy by applying the centrifugal force. 2. flow in it is radial outward direction. 3.the pressure head at the outlet is more than the at inlet, so fluid can be lifted to very high .level 4.in case of centrifugal pump, discharge is proportional to speed in r.p.m power is proportional to ( speed in r.p.m)^3 head is proportional to ( speed in r. p.m)^2 5. it is subjected to cavitation.


Is turbine pump is a centrifugal pump?

yes that is centrifugal pump because the turbine pump creates a vacuum pressure on pipe.

What is volute centrifual pump?

The volute of a centrifugal pump is the tank that holds the liquid being pumped. The centrifugal pump is a type of pump that uses a swirling motion to pump liquid.

If the outlet valve for both centrifugal and reciprocating pump is closed which pump is damage first and why?

The reciprocating pump is damaged first. The closed outlet has no bad affect to the centrifugal pump.


What is the difference between volute centrifugal pump and turbine centrifugal pump?

voloute convord the pressure into volicity and the mixtur of propallere and impeller is called turbine pump


Why the centrifugal pump is called high discharge pump?

for a simple reason because it has high discharge than any other available pump. the centrifugal pump uses the centrifugal force to push out the fluid centrifugal force = (mass *velocity2)/radius. hence centrifugal force is directly proportional to the square of the velocity, in this case being the velocity of the fluid. power provided to pump proportional to the force exerted by the impeller.hence higher the power results in higher centrifugal force implying square of the velocity of the fluid. higher the velocity of the fluid higher the discharge of the pump.


Why is a centrifugal pumper equipped with a positive displacement pump in conjunction with the main pump?

Because the centrifugal pump cannot pump air due to its loose tolerances, the positive displacement pump is needed to create the vacuum.
