A centrifugal pump has a discharge of

211.725 cfm at a head of 262.4 ft. If the


speed of the pump is increased to attain a
discharge of 254.07 cfm, what will be the
power required?

A pump with a 250 mm suction pipe and a
175 mm diameter discharge pipe is to
deliver 40000 lpm of 25 deg. Celcius water.
Calculate the water power in KW if suction
gage is 2.2 meters below the pump center
and reads 320 mmHG vacuum. The
discharge gage is 3.1 m above the pump
center and reads 25 KPa.

Compute the required size of the motor in
HP to drive a centrifugal pump that has a
design suction pressure gage of 0.75 bar
vacuum 750 mm above the pump centerline
and a discharge pressure gage of 750 kpa
7.5 meters above the pump centerline. The
suction pipe is 275 mm in diameter and the
discharge pipe is 175 mm. A hot water with
specific volume of 0.001075 m3/kg is
pumped up at a volumetric flow rate of 37.5
m3 per minute. The pump efficiency is 75%.

A centrifugal pump delivers 300,000 LPH of
water to a pressurized tank whose pressure
is 280 kPa. The source of water is 5 m below
the pump. The diameter of the suction pipe
is 300 mm and the discharge pipe is 250
mm. Calculate the HP rating of the driving
motor if the pump is 72% efficient.

Air taken the atmospheric at 100 kPa and


21 deg. C is deliverd to the air receiver at
689 kPaa and 150 deg. C by means of a
water jacketed reciprocating compressor.
The compressor has a rated capacity of
360 m^3/hr free air. Determine the
power required to compress the air.
Answer in kW.

A single stage air compressor handles


0.454 m^3/s of atmospheric pressure, 27
deg. C air, and delivers it to a receiver at
652.75 kPa. Its volumetric efficiency is
0.72, its compression efficiency on an
isothermal basis is 0.85 and its
mechanical efficiency is 0.90. If it rotates
at 350 rpm, what power in kW is required
to drive it?
Answer in kW.

An air compressor is to compress 8.5 m^
3/min from 98.56 kPa to 985.6 kPa.
Assuming ideal conditions, and with n =
1.3, what will be the saving in work due
to two staging?

A single acting two-stage air compressor


delivers air at 16 bar. The volume flow
rate of air entering the compressor is 17
m^3/min with the temperature and
pressure of 33 deg. C and 1 bar
respectively. If the compressor is
designed for minimum work and
complete intercooling, determine the
power required to drive the first stage if
it follows the compression law of PV^1.3
= C.
Answer in kW.
