Given a centrifugal pump, Performance characteristics curve of a
centrifugal pump establishes the relationship between the head
produced by the pump at different discharge rates. Determine the
performance characteristic equation and curve for a 10 inch
impeller diameter centrifugal pump. The vane angle of the impeller
of the pump at the outlet is 28 degrees . The width of the
impeller is constant and is equal to 2 inch. The pump requires a
2.5 kW of power input to run at 2800 rpm. Consider minor loss
coefficients of 1.8 and neglect all major losses.
