INTRODUCTION :

Centrifugal pumps are used to transport fluids by the conversion of rotational


kinetic energy to the hydrodynamic energy of the fluid flow. The rotational
energy typically comes from an engine or electric motor. They are a sub-class
of dynamic axisymmetric work-absorbing turbomachinery.[1] The fluid enters
the pump impeller along or near to the rotating axis and is accelerated by the
impeller, flowing radially outward into a diffuser or volute chamber (casing),
from which it exits.

Common uses include water, sewage, agriculture, petroleum and


petrochemical pumping. Centrifugal pumps are often chosen for their high
flow rate capabilities, abrasive solution compatibility, mixing potential, as well
as their relatively simple engineering [2] A centrifugal fan is commonly used to
implement a vacuum cleaner. The reverse function of the centrifugal pump is a
water turbine converting potential energy of water pressure into mechanical
rotational energy.
ABOUT THIS PROJECT:

Centrifugal pumps are a sub-class of dynamic axisymmetric work-absorbing


turbomachinery Centrifugal pumps are used to transport fluids by the
conversion of rotational kinetic energy to the hydrodynamic energy of the fluid
flow. The rotational

energy typically comes from an engine or electric motor. The fluid enters the
pump impeller along or near to the rotating axis and is accelerated by the
impeller, flowing radially outward into a diffuser or volute chamber (casing),
from where it exits.Common uses include water, sewage, petroleum and
petrochemical pumping.

A centrifugal fan is commonly used to implement a vacuum cleaner. The


reverse function of the centrifugal pump is a water turbine converting
potential energy of water pressure into mechanical rotational energy.

A centrifugal pump converts rotational energy from a motor, to energy in a


moving fluid. A portion of the energy goes into kinetic energy of the fluid Fluid
enters axially through eye of the casing, is caught up in the impeller blades,
and is whirled tangentially and radially outward until it leaves through all
circumferential parts of the impeller into the diffuser part of the casing. The
fluid gains both velocity and pressure while passing through the impeller.

The diffuser decelerates the flow and increases the pressure. The water is not
pushed radially outward by centrifugal force but by inertia, the natural
tendency of an object to continue in a Straight line (tangent to the radius)
when traveling around circle. This can be compared to the way a spin-cycle
works in a washing machine. Difficulties faced in centrifugal pump are
Cavitation, Wear,Corrosion, Surge etc.
Manufacturing process & source of technology:

There are two main portions of Submersible Pump which are coupled together,
one is electric motor and the other is pump which is manufactured single stage
or multi stages. Motor body i.e. Stator is made by boring seamless pipe and
fitting stamping in it. The rotar is made by turning shaft and fitting bushes,
stamping on it. PVC wiring is done in stamping of both rotor as well stator,
terminals are brought out from the motor and jointed with the cable. Pump
has number of parts which are made out of various metals such as CI, GM, SS,
EN Steels etc. The raw material is cut to size on power hacksaw, turned on
laths, key-way cut on milling and slotting machine. Some of the parts are
ground and some are balanced on balancing machines. All components parts
are inspected at every stage before taking for assembly. Then the parts are
assembled to complete the pump. Motor and pump are coupled together to
get Submersible Pump for water discharge.

INFRASTRUCTURE:

The state-of-the-art infrastructure facility developed by us serves as the


support system of the organization. It has been equipped with all the latest
technologies and machines that are handled by our team of professionals.
These high-end technologies enable us in manufacturing high grade Industrial
Pumps in varied customized forms. The infrastructure has been segregated
into various units like manufacturing, quality testing, R&D and warehousing &
packaging. These units are regularly up graded so as to have maximum output
of the products that is in compliance with the prevailing market standards.
QUALITY CONTROL AND STANDARD:

Raw material as well as purchased components should be of standard quality.


The machined parts should be checked at every stage for its size by measuring
instruments. The rotating is considered on rent.
MARKET & DEMAND ASPECTS:

The submersible pump is used by P.H. and Irrigation departments and also for
domestic purpose to get sufficient water. Therefore it has good market in
Govt. sector as well as in public. The need of water is being increased day by
day for various uses. To get water from its resources submersible pumps are
utilized in most of the fields, and their demand in the market is also rising.
India being rich in agricultural resources there will always be demand for the
product in areas of irrigation parts are checked on balancing machine.
Inspection & testing of the submersible pump should be carried out as per IS:
8034.
POLLUTION CONTROL: Making is not a pollution creating industry. As such
no special type of pollution control equipments need to be installed.

ENERGY CONSERVATION: Suitable energy efficient motor is to be used on


proposed machines with provision of recommended shunt capacitor.

BASIS OF PROJECT SELECTION & PRESUMPTION :


1. The project profile has been prepared on the basis of single shift of 8 hours
each day and at 75% efficiently.
2. It is presumed that in the 1st year, the capacity utilization will be 70%
followed by 85% in the next year and 100% in the subsequent years.
3. Labour wages has been considered as per prevailing market rates, which
may vary from place to place and the minimum wages fixed by concerned
authorities.
4. Interest on fixed capital and working capital has been calculated at an
average rate of 14% per annum.
5. A provision of 30% project cost/investment has to be made by the
entrepreneur for margin money.
6. The cost If land and other constructed/built up shed and office has been
taken as per prevailing market rates. However, this may vary from place to
place. In this profile, land & building

CONCLUSION:

After completing this report we conclude that the experiment is a


success, with all the objective set is achieve with flying colors. This is
done with the aid of the lab instructor and the lab assistant.

The conclusion that we made that with an increased of speed of the


pump it will cause the properties and characteristic to varied
accordingly which in turn effect the overall efficiency, and with the
increased of speed it is relevant that the efficiency also increased.
The maximum operating condition is at 90% pump speed, where the
efficiency is 40% at 1.7 m/s capacity this is called BEP

We need to keep in mind that this is an experiment and the value


could not be achieved due to some unavoidable factor such as the
condition of the experiment where the apparatus is not in a good
working condition and the experiment is conducted not under a
standardize condition.

Overall the students that participate in the experiment got the


general idea of the experiment.
