Water Pump Water pumps are devices designed to convert mechanical energy to hydraulic energy. They are used to move water from lower points to higher points with a required discharge and pressure head. This chapter will deal with the basic hydraulic concepts of water pumps.

Pump Classification Turbo-hydraulic (kinetic) pumps Centrifugal pumps (radial-flow pumps) Propeller pumps (axial-flow pumps) Jet pumps (mixed-flow pumps) Positive-displacement pumps Screw pumps Reciprocating pumps

Centrifugal pumps (radial-flow pumps)

Propeller pumps (axial-flow pumps)

Centrifugal Pump Impeller; which is the rotating part of the centrifugal pump. Casing; which is an air-tight passage surrounding the impeller Suction Pipe with a Foot-valve and a Strainer Delivery Pipe The Shaft The Motor

hs (static suction head): it is the difference in elevation between the suction liquid level and the centerline of the pump impeller. hd (static discharge head): it is the difference in elevation between the discharge liquid level and the centerline of the pump impeller. Hstat (static head): it is the difference (or sum) in elevation between the static discharge and the static suction heads, . Hms (manometric suction head): it is the suction gage reading (if a manometer is installed just at the inlet of the pump, then Hms is the height to which the water will rise in the manometer). Hmd (manometric discharge head): it is the discharge gage reading (if a manometer is installed just at the outlet of the pump, then Hmd is the height to which the water will rise in the manometer). Hm (manometric head): it is the increase of pressure head generated by the pump, . Ht (total dynamic head): it is the total head delivered by the pump:
