Volumetric Flow rate: Flow rate /Capacity of a pump is
the amount of liquid delivered by the pump per unit of time
(m3/hr).
Definition
Pump:
Need Of a Pump:
Used to pump a liquid from lower pressure area to a High pressure area.
To increase Flow rate.
To move liquid from lower elevation to higher elevation.

Principle of Operation
Dynamic Pump: . In dynamic pumps, energy is added to
the fluid continuously through the rotary motion of the
blades. This increase in energy is converted to a gain in
Pressure Energy when the liquid is allowed to pass through
an increased area.
Centrifugal Pump
Working Principle:
Works on the principle of centrifugal force. This is the force that pushes the
liquid away from the centre(in tangential direction).
Converting Prime Mover energy into Mechanical energy
through shaft .
Converting Mechanical energy into fluid energy
impeller.
Converting kinetic Energy into pressure
energy through the volute casing.
Centrifugal Pump
Major Parts:
Shaft: It transmit the torque/Power. and supporting the impeller
and other rotating parts. Shaft is protected from erosion
,corrosion and wear at the seal chamber through renewable
sleeve.

Positive Displacement
Pumps
Working Principle: Positive Displacement Pump has an
expanding cavity on the suction side of the pump and a
decreasing cavity on the discharge side. Liquid is allowed to
flow into the pump as the cavity on the suction side
expands and the liquid is forced out of the discharge as the
cavity collapses.

Displacement Vs Centrifugal
Centrifugal pumps are suitable for low head and high flow
rate.
Related Terminologies
Cavitation:
It is the process in which bubbles are formed due to sufficient
Pressure drop at the suction of the pump.
