    Affinity Laws - Goulds Pump.

    Uploaded by

    sgrsth
    The document discusses affinity laws, which express the mathematical relationship between variables that affect centrifugal pump performance such as capacity, head, brake horsepower, pump speed, and impeller diameter. The two main affinity laws are: 1) capacity and head vary directly with pump speed, while brake horsepower varies as the cube of speed. 2) capacity and head vary as the square of impeller diameter, while brake horsepower varies as the cube of diameter. The laws allow estimating performance at different speeds or diameters if performance is known at a particular speed or diameter. An example illustrates using the laws to determine performance at a new speed given data on a pump's performance at different impeller diameters and speeds.

    Section A -- Centrifugal Pump Fundamentals A-8 Affinity Laws The affinity laws express the mathematical relationship between the several variables involved in pump performance. They apply to all types of centrifugal and axial flow pumps. They are as follows: 1. With impeller diameter D held constant: Where: Q = Capacity, GPM H = Total Head, Feet BHP = Brake Horsepower N = Pump Speed, RPM

    2. With speed N held constant:

    When the performance (Q1, H1, & BHP1) is known at some particular speed (N1) or diameter (D1), the formulas can be used to estimate the performance (Q2, H2, & BHP2) at some other speed (N2) or diameter (D2). The efficiency remains nearly constant for speed changes and for small changes in impeller diameter. Example: To illustrate the use of these laws, refer to Fig. 8 below. It shows the performance of a particular pump at 1750 RPM with various impeller diameters. This performance data has been determined by actual tests by the manufacturer. Now assume that you have a 13" maximum diameter impeller, but you want to belt drive the pump at 2000 RPM.
