Background
Fluid Moving Equipment
Fluids are moved through flow systems using pumps, fans, blowers, and compressors. Such devices increase the mechanical energy of the fluid. The additional energy can be used to increase
• Velocity (flow rate)• Pressure• Elevation
CBE 150A – Transport Spring Semester 2014
Background
Pump, fan, blower, and compressor are terms that do not have precise meaning. Generally pumps move liquids while fans, blowers and compressors add energy to gasses.
Pumps and fans do not appreciably affect the density of the fluids that they move and thus incompressible flow theory is applicable.
CBE 150A – Transport Spring Semester 2014
Centrifugal Pumps
Most common type of pumping machinery. There are many types, sizes, and designs from various manufacturers who also publish operating characteristics of each pump in the form of performance (pump) curves. The device pictured on the cover page is a centrifugal pump.
Pump curves describe head delivered, pump efficiency, and net positive suction head (NPSH) for a properly operating specific model pump.
Centrifugal pumps are generally used where high flow rates and moderate head increases are required.

Positive Displacement Pump
CBE 150A – Transport Spring Semester 2014
Positive Displacement PumpsTo move fluids positive displacement pumps admit a fixed volume of liquid from the inlet into a chamber and eject it into the discharge. Positive displacement pumps are used when higher head increases are required. Generally they do not increase velocity.

10 Minute Problem
Tank A
Tank B
A centrifugal pump (Goulds Model: 3196 - 1770 RPM - CDS 3832) with an 11 inch impeller is used to transport water at 350 GPM through the system show below. The system head with the control valve completely open is 90 ft lbf / lbm. For the desired flow rate, it is necessary to partially close the control valve. What pressure drop across
the valve is required ?
