consider a multiple pump system to meet the design requirements. Two typical options include parallel and series configurations of pumps. Specific performance criteria must be met when considering these options. Given a piping system which has a known design flow rate and head requirements‚ Qdes‚ hdes‚ the following pump selection criteria apply. Pumps in Parallel: Assuming that the pumps are identical‚ each pump must provide the following: Q(pump) = 0.5 Qdes h(pump) = hdes Pumps in Series: Assuming

This experiment was conducted under room temperature. The motor was first adjusted to 3000 rpm and the input valve which was used to control the input pressure was adjusted in 0.1bar steps.

In the film ‘In the Heat of the Night‚’ it was portrayed as a civil rights parable and as a crime drama. The film was released in 1967 three years after the Civil Rights Act was legislated; therefore‚ it depicted the racial tension in the 1960s in the town of Sparta‚ Mississippi. Between the film‚ ‘In the Heat of the Night‚’ and class lectures over the 1960s there was a great correlation over the SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) and the Civil Rights movement‚ including Martin Luther

CENTRIFUGAL PUMP A centrifugal pump converts the input power to kinetic energy in the liquid by accelerating the liquid by a revolving device - an impeller. The most common type is the volute pump. Fluid enters the pump through the eye of the impeller which rotates at high speed. The fluid is accelerated radially outward from the pump chasing. A vacuum is created at the impellers eye that continuously draws more fluid into the pump. The energy created by the pump is kinetic energy according the

Centrifugal pump A centrifugal pump is a rotodynamic pump that uses a rotating impeller to increase the pressure of a fluid. Centrifugal pumps are commonly used to move liquids through a piping system. 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 into the downstream piping system.[1][2] Centrifugal pumps are used for large discharge through smaller
