Abstract

A microcomputer technique is devised for the selection of the optimum design of centrifugal pumps. It gives full information about data, such as pumping speed, power requirements, impeller outlet and inlet dimensions, casing throat area and cavitation limits. It can be used as an effective tool in the study of the parameters governing the characteristics of pump performance, such as suction head for maximum lift and shut valve to manometric head ratio for stability at large demand fluctuations and load variations. When tested in designing an actual pumping unit, for a specified duty, the technique yielded good results and proved to be valid, reliable, and easy to use.
