//Fluid Systems - By - Shiv Kumar //Chapter 11 - Centrifugal Pumps //Example 11.24 //To Find the the number of stages and Diameter of each Impeller of the similar multistage Pump. clc clear //Given Data:- //For Single Stage Pump, N1=2000; //Speed, rpm D1=300; //Impeller Diameter, mm Hm1=32; //Manometric Head, m Q1=3; //Discharge, m^3/s //For Multi Stage Pump, N2=1600; //Speed, rpm H_mT2=200; //Total Manometric Head, m Q2=5; //Discharge, m^3/s //Computations:- Hm2=Hm1*(N2/N1)*sqrt(Q2/Q1); //m n=round(H_mT2/Hm2); //No. of stages D2=D1*(N1/N2)*sqrt(Hm2/Hm1); //Diameter of Each Impeller, mm //Results:- printf("Number of the Stages for the Multi stage Pump, n=%.f \n",n) printf("Diameter of each Impeller for the Multi stage Pump, D2=%.2f mm\n",D2) //The answer vary due to round off error
