Centrifugal Pumps : we'll just cover certain sections of it, it's on your course syllabus. But we'll start off looking at centrifugal pumps . A very common type of pump. Swimming pool pumps, spa pumps, all kinds of pumps. Quite a few of them are centrifugal pumps. I thought so. Okay,sometime this quarter, I don't think this early, you're going to run a test on a centrifugal pump in the fluids lab. And from that test you're going to put together some performance curves for our centrifugal pump. So, this is how we test a centrifugal pump. I'll go through the procedure that we use in our fluids lab. We have a pump in a circuit with water in it, from a big reservoir. The water is pumped through here, it goes around, back into the big reservoir. We have flow meters in the test setup so we know what the flow rate Q is. We have pressure gauges at points one and two. A centrifugal pump is a radial type of a pump. There's an impeller ...
Through Tech Education, I want to provide information about the subjects of mechanical engineering to those people who are looking for it. During my engineering, I have seen many such students, who could not understand the subjects of mechanical engineering due to lack of understanding of the language. But I believed that language can never become a hindrance in knowledge. That's why I chose a medium where I can explain the concept of mechanical engineering to everyone in very simple language.
