    The document discusses centrifugal pumps, which use centrifugal force to convert mechanical energy into pressure energy. It describes how liquid is forced into the impeller where vanes impart kinetic energy, causing the liquid to rotate and exit the impeller. The volute casing then converts this kinetic energy into pressure energy. Key components are the impeller, casing, suction and delivery pipes. Impellers come in various classifications depending on flow direction, suction type, and mechanical construction.

    INTRODUCTION

    • If the mechanical energy is converted into pressure


    energy by means centrifugal force acting on the fluid,
    the hydraulic machine is called centrifugal pump.
    Construction
    • Impeller: The rotating part of pump.
    • Casing: It converts kinetic energy into pressure
    energy before leaving the casing.
    • Suction pipe:
    • Delivery pipe
    Centrifugal Pumps

    • Liquid forced into


    impeller
    • Vanes pass kinetic
    energy to liquid: liquid
    rotates and leaves
    impeller
    • Volute casing converts
    kinetic energy into
    pressure energy
    Impeller

    • Main rotating part that provides centrifugal


    acceleration to the fluid
    • Number of impellers = number of pump stages
    • Impeller classification: direction of flow, suction type
    and shape/mechanical construction
