Best Answer

Centrifugal pumps in series are used to overcome larger system head loss than one pump can handle alone.

  • for two identical pumps in series the head will be twice the head of a single pump at the same flow rate - as indicated in point 2.

With a constant flowrate the combined head moves from 1 to 2.

Note! In practice the combined head and flow rate moves along the system curve to point 3.

  • point 3 is where the system operates with both pumps running
  • point 1 is where the system operates with one pump running

Series operation of single stage pumps is seldom encountered - more often multistage centrifugal pumps are used.

How do you calculate gravity factor for centrifugal force?

The gravity force balancing the centrifugal force is mv2/r = mg. The centrifugal force is Del.cP = cmDel.V = mcv/r cos(VR), mv2/r = cmv/r cos(VR) is the Continuity Condition of stable orbit.


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.
