Step 1
Centrifugal Pump: Working Principle: The centrifugal pump works on the principle of converting kinetic energy into potential energy (pressure) by accelerating the fluid through an impeller. The impeller rotates, creating a centrifugal force that pushes the fluid Show more…

in your own words describe the working principle of DC motor and ac generator.
Shahab U.
The characteristics of a centrifugal pump at constant speed are as follows: The pump is used to lift water over a vertical distance of $6.5 \mathrm{m}$ by means of a $10 \mathrm{cm}$ diameter pipe, $65 \mathrm{m}$ long, for which the friction coefficient $f=0.005$ (a) Determine the rate of flow and the power supplied to the pump. (b) If it is required to increase the rate of flow, and this may be achieved only by the addition of a second, identical pump (running at the same speed), investigate whether it should be connected in series or in parallel with the original pump. Justify your answer by determining the increased rate of flow and power consumed by both pumps.
