CENTRIFUGAL PUMP
INTRODUCTION: – When a certain mass of liquid is made to rotate by an external source, it is thrown away from the centrifugal axis of rotation and a centrifugal head is impressed which enables it to rise to a higher level. If more liquid is made available at the center of rotation a continuous supply(…)
RECIPROCATING PUMP
Reciprocating pump is a positive displacement pump. The given pump is single acting single cylinder pump with air vessel. It can be used for less discharge at higher heads. Priming is not required because it is a positive displacement pump. Reciprocating pumps are used in pumping water in hilly areas. Reciprocating pumps has lower efficiency(…)
SELF PRIMING PUMP
Self-priming pumps are inherently designed to allow the pump to re-prime itself typically under lift conditions. These pumps are very effective to the end user in that they will eliminate the need for foot valves, vacuum and ejector pumps which can become clogged or be impractical to use for prolonged or remote operation. Although the(…)
KAPLAN TURBINE
INTRODUCTION: Kaplan Turbine is an Axial Flow Reaction Turbine. For Axial Flow Turbines, the water flows through the runner along the direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the runner. Reaction Turbine means that the water at the inlet of the Turbine possesses Kinetic Energy as well as Pressure Energy. For Axial Flow Reaction(…)
FRANCIS TURBINES
Francis Turbine is an Inward Flow Reaction Turbine having Radial Discharge at Outlet. (i.e. = 0). Modern Francis Turbine is a mixed flow type turbine (i.e. Water enters the runner of the turbine in the radial direction and leaves the runner in the axial direction). Radial Flow Turbines are those turbines in which the water(…)
PELTON TURBINE
INTRODUCTION: – Pelton Wheel or Pelton Turbine is a Tangential Flow Impulse Turbine. This Turbine is used for High Heads and is named after L.A.Pelton. The water strikes the bucket along the tangent of the tangent of the runner. The energy available at the inlet of the turbine is only Kinetic Energy. The pressure at(…)
REYNOLDS EXPERIMENT
OBJECTIVE: To perform the Reynolds experiment for determination of different regimes of flow. BASICS: The flow of real fluids can basically occur under two very different regimes namely laminar and turbulent flow. The laminar flow is characterized by fluid particles moving in the form of lamina sliding over each other, such that at any instant(…)
