2 Part I. General topics on Pumps Categories of Pumps Pump curve Cavitation NSPH

3 Pumps Basic definitions to describe pumps and pumping pipe circuits Positive displacement pumps and centrifugal pumps The Pump Curve Net Positive Suction Head

4 Pump analysis: energy equation 2 2 P1 V1 P2 V2 z1 z2 hfriction h g 2g g 2g pump 1 2 Q Shaft work delivered by pump is translated into a pressure rise across the pump: P 2 > P 1 How does h pump vary with Q? Typically data is gathered from experiments by manufacturer and is presented in dimensional form (pump curve)

5 Definitions in a typical pump system: Liquid flows from the suction side to the discharge side Suction head is head available just before pump, h s : Discharge head is head at the exit from pump, h d : Pump head, h p : hp hd hs = head required from pump Flow rates affect terms h fd & h fs 2 2 P1 V1 P2 V2 z1 z2 hfriction h g 2g g 2g h z P h g s s s fs h z P h g d d d fd pump

6 Positive Displacement Pumps Properties of a PD pump: Pumps fluid by varying the dimension of an inner chamber. Volumetric flow rate determined size of chamber + RPM of pump. Nearly independent of back pressure. Application for metering fluids (example, chemicals into a process, etc.) Develops the required head to meet the specified flow rate Head limit is due to mechanical limitations (design/metallurgy). Catastrophic failure at limit. High pressure applications Able to handle high viscosity fluids. Often produces a pulsed flow

7 Types of Positive Displacement Pumps A. Reciprocating piston (steam pumps) B. External gear pump C. Double-screw pump D. Sliding vane E. Three lobe pump F. Double circumferential piston G. Flexible tube squeegee H. Internal gear

8 Positive Displacement Pumps

9 Centrifugal pumps Characteristics Typically higher flow rates than PDs. Comparatively steady discharge. Moderate to low pressure rise. Large range of flow rate operation. Sensitive to fluid viscosity.

10 Efficiency of centrifugal pumps: From the energy equation, pumps increase the pressure head The power delivered to the water (water horse power) is given by The power delivered by the motor to the shaft (breaking horse power) is given by Therefore, efficiency is: 2 2 P1 V1 P2 V2 z1 z2 hfriction h g 2g g 2g H Pw Pbhp P g QP T P P w BHP Pw gqh T gqh pump Note: 1HP = 746W

11 Centrifugal pumps pump curves Real pumps are never ideal and the performance of the pumps are determined experimentally by the manufacturer and typically given in terms of graphs or pump curves. Typically performance is given by curves of: Head versus capacity Power versus capacity NPSH versus capacity As Q increases the head developed by the screen decreases. Maximum head is at zero capacity The maximum capacity of the pump is at the point where no head is developed.

12 Centrifugal pumps Sample Pump P P L Q 2 1 H pump z2 z1 f hm 2 2 g D D 2g 4 Curve 3500 is the RPM Impeller size 6¼ to 8¾ in. are shown Maximum efficiency is ~50%. Note that pumps can operate at 80-90% eff. Maximum normal capacity line Should not operate in the region to the right of the line because pump can be unstable. Semi-open impeller Max sphere 1¼ This pump is designed for slurries / suspensions and can pass particles up to 1¼. This is why efficiency is relatively low. Motor horse power. Remember to correct for density using previous equation Operating line (system curve) This is dependent on the system you are putting the pump into. It is a plot from the energy equation. That is, analyze the system to determine the pump head required as a function of flow rate through the pump This will form the 2 system line.

13 Pump cavitation and NSPH Cavitation should be avoided due to erosion damage to pump parts and noise. Cavitation occurs when P < P v somewhere in the pump Since pump increases pressure, to prevent cavitation we ensure suction head is large enough compared to vapour pressure P v Net positive suction head P P g s v NPSH zs hfs Often we evaluate NPSH using energy equation and reference values don t measure P inlet

14 NSPH required Manufacturers determine conservatively how much NPSH is needed to avoid cavitation in the pump Systematic experimental testing NSPH required (NPSHR) is plotted on pump chart Caution: different axis scale is common read carefully Plot NPSH vs NSPH required to give safe operating range of pump Q max Q

15 Part II. Dimensional analysis Affinity Laws

16 Dimensionless pump performance Previous part: everything dimensional Terminology used in pump systems Pump performance charts NPSH and avoiding cavitation (NPSH vs NPSHR) This part : Discuss how centrifugal pumps might be scaled Best efficiency point Examples

17 Dimensionless Pump Performance For geometrically similar pumps we expect similar dimensionless performance curves Dimensionless groups? Capacity coefficient Head coefficient Power coefficient Efficiency NPSH? C What to use for n (units 1/time): rad/s (), rpm, rps C Q NPSH Q nd 3 C H g NPSH 2 2 nd gh nd 2 2 C P P bh 3 5 nd C C H Q C

18 Dimensional Analysis If two pumps are geometrically similar, and The independent s are similar, i.e., C Q,A = C Q,B Re A = Re B A /D A = B /D B Then the dependent s will be the same C H,A = C H,B C P,A = C P,B

19 Affinity Laws For two homologous states A and B, we can use variables to develop ratios (similarity rules, affinity laws, scaling laws). C C Q D B B B Q, A Q, B Q A A DA 3 Useful to scale from model to prototype Useful to understand parameter changes, e.g., doubling pump speed.

20 Dimensional Analysis: ideal situation If plotted in nondimensional form, all curves of a family of geometrically similar pumps should collapse onto one set of nondimensional pump performance curves From this we identify the best efficiency point BEP Note: Reynolds number and roughness can often be neglected

21 Dimensionless Pump Performance In reality we never achieve true similarity E.g. manufacturers put different impeller into same housing Following figure illustrates a typical example of 2 pumps that are close to similar Note: See that at BEP: max = 088 From which we get * * * * CQ, CH, CHS, C x From which you can calculate Q, H, NPSH, P

24 Dynamic Pumps Dynamic Pumps include centrifugal pumps: fluid enters axially, and is discharged radially. mixed--flow pumps: fluid enters axially, and leaves at an angle between radially and axially. axial pumps: fluid enters and leaves axially.

30 Open vs. Ducted Axial Pumps Axial Pumps

31 Open Axial Pumps Blades generate thrust like wing generates lift. Propeller has radial twist to take into account for angular velocity (=r)

32 Ducted Axial Pumps Tube Axial Fan: Swirl downstream Counter-Rotating Axial- Flow Fan: swirl removed. Early torpedo designs Vane Axial-Flow Fan: swirl removed. Stators can be either pre-swirl or postswirl.

33 Pump Specific Speed Pump Specific Speed is used to characterize the operation of a pump at BEP and is useful for preliminary pump selection.

34 Centrifugal pumps-specific speed Use Dimensionless specific speed to help choose. Dimensionless speed is derived by eliminating diameters in C q and C h at the BEP. Proper Lazy N N ' s s C C Q* H* nq gh Rpm( Gal / min) 3/ 4 H ( ft) * * 1 2 1/ 2 3/ 4 N s 17,182 N ' s
