 ACKNOLEDGEMENT
We wish to place on record our words of gratitude to Dr.
Narendra Kanhe sir, principal of Bajaj Institute of
technology, Wardha (442001),for providing us an
opportunity to carry out our project under his approval and
has helped us a lot to carry out the work with great ease.
We would also like to express our sentimental gratitude to
Prof. Pankaj Bhise sir for his valuable guidance and co-
operation.It ws due to his supervision by which it has been
possible for us to make a good contribution of theoretical
knowledge in to the practical world.
We wish to place on record our words of gratitude to all
Workshop faculty members, for there valuable guidance and
the permission to complete our project in the college
workshop. We acknowledge our heart full of gratitude to Mr.
Wandhare sir, Mr. Gajanan sir and Mr. Shankar sir, for their
personal efforts and valuable time to carry out the work and
great ease.
 INTRODUCTION
Centrifugal Pump: A mechanical device used to transport
fluids by the conversion of rotational kinetic energy to the
hydrodynamic energy of the fluid flow.
●Centrifugal pumps are the most popular pump used and are
the chief pump type in the class of kinetic pumps.
●Used in various sectors such as: agriculture, power
generation plants, municipal, industries, domestic purposes,
etc.
●Common uses include: air, water, sewage, petroleum,
petrochemical pumping.
●Components-
1.Impeller (a wheel with vanes)
2.Casing
3.Electrical DC motor
4.Rectifier
5.Outlet manifold
 Components

1) IMPELLER (wheel with vanes): An impeller is a rotating component

of a centrifugal pump which transfers energy from the motor that drives
the pump to the fluid being pumped by accelerating the fluid outwards
from the center of rotation.

2) CASING : It is a chamber through which the water is circulated

from inlet to outlet. It provides mounting arrangement , i.e
motor and impeller.

3) DC Motor: It is a 12v DC motor, which provides rotation to the impeller

and converts electrical energy into rotation energy.

4) RECTIFIER: It is a device which converts Alternating current (AC) to

Direct current (DC).
 How it works
●Converts mechanical energy from a motor to energy of a
moving fluid.
●Centrifugal pumps include a shaft driven impeller that
rotates inside a casing.
●Energy conversion is due to the outward force that curved
impeller blades impart on the fluid.
●When the impeller rotates, the fluid surrounding it also
rotates. This imparts centrifugal force to the water particles,
and water moves out.
●Pressure and kinetic energy of the fluid rises due to
rotational mechanical energy transferred to the fluid.
●A negative pressure is induced at the eye because water is
displaced at the suction side.

PUMP DETAILS :
Casing diameter : 13.5cm
Outlet manifold diameter : 2.54cm (1 inch)
Inlet diameter : 4cm
Motor details-12v DC
Applications of Centrifugal Pumps

●Energy & Oil Industries○Refineries and Power Plants.

●Building Services○Pressure boosting, heating

installations, fire protection sprinkler systems, drainage, air
conditioning.

●Industry and Water engineering○Boiler feed

applications, water supply (municipal, industrial), wastewater
management, irrigation, sprinkling, drainage and flood
protection.

●The Chemical and Process Industries○Paints,

chemicals, hydrocarbons, pharmaceuticals, cellulose, petro-
chemicals, sugar refining, food and beverage production
Conclusion:
●Centrifugal Pumps transfer rotational kinetic
energy to increase the hydrodynamic energy and
head of fluid flow
●Centrifugal Pumps have been used since the
1400’s, and remain a popular choice in
applications across multiple industries
●Centrifugal Pumps can handle high hydraulic
heads, with variable flows
●When designing a Centrifugal Pump, Blade
Angle, Rotations per Minute, and the number of
impeller blades all impact the efficiency and
discharge of a pump
