A Brief Summary on Robert J. LeRoy and the LeRoy Radius Theory As a graduate with a focus on computational chemical physics at the University of Toronto‚ Dr. Robert J. LeRoy began a career in the department in the theoretical chemical physics at the University of Waterloo. His commitment to a career to the science world is sparked by the research that goes along with it. He demonstrates his belief that in all basic or applied human endeavors one should be as challenged as they are rewarded‚ ”Finding

Centrifugal Pump @ 1750 RPM · Figure 1 Head Pressure versus Flowrate · Figure 2 Ideal Power versus Head Pressure (H) · Sample Calculations · Raw Data Discussion of Experiment A centrifugal pump contains an impeller or set of vanes encased in housing. Energy is added to the fluid in the form of velocity and pressure as a result of the impeller turning. An engineer must determine the range of flow rates required when using a centrifugal pump. The centrifugal

and a shaft on which the impeller or the turbine is mounted‚ which is housed inside an agitator vessel. This vessel may or may not have baffles. Baffles are basically used to prevent the formation of unwanted vortex. The motor is connected to a tachometer (rpm sensor) and a torque sensor. They display the shaft speed and the torque used for computation of power consumption.

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
