10、in pumping water out of mines .Modern-day examples of centrifugal pumps are those used at the Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River .This pump system has the potential to irrigate over one million acres of land . Also known as rotary pumps ,centrifugal pumps have a rotating impeller ,also known as
11、a blade ,that is immersed in the liquid .Liquid enters the pump near the axis of the impeller ,and the rotating impeller sweeps the liquid out toward the ends of the impeller blades at high pressure .The impeller also gives the liquid a relatively high velocity that can be converted into pressure in
12、 a stationary part of the pump ,known as the diffuser .In high-pressure pumps ,a number of impeller may be used in series ,and the diffusers following each impeller may contain guide vanes to gradually reduce the liquid velocity .For lower-pressure pumps ,the diffuser is generally a spiral passage ,
13、known as a volute ,with its cross-sectional area increasing gradually to reduce the velocity efficiently .The impeller must be primed before it can begin operation ,that is ,the impeller must be surrounded by liquid when the pump is started .This can be done by placing a check valve in the suction l

In this type of pump ,the fluid is fed to the centre of a rotating impeller and is thrown outward by centrifugal action .As a resul
19、t of the high speed of rotation the liquid acquires a high kinetic energy and the pressure difference between the suction and delivery sides arises from the conversion of kinetic energy into pressure energy . The impeller consists of a series of curved vanes so shaped that the flow within the pump i

21、losed type the vanes are held between two supporting plates and leakage across the impeller is reduced .As will be seen later ,the angle of the tips of the blades very largely determines the operating characteristics of the pump . The liquid enters the casing of the pump，normally in an axial directi

24、 that the fluid is received without shockThe liquids flows along the surface of the impeller vane with a certain velocity whilst the tip of the vane is moving relative to the casing of the pumpThe direction of motion of the liquid relative to the pump casing-and the required angle of the fixed vanes
25、is found by compounding these two velocitiesIn Figc， c. is the velocity of the liquid relative to the vane and is the tangential velocity of the tip of the vane；compounding these two velocities gives the resultant velocity of the liquidIt is apparent，therefore，that the required vane angle in the dif

As indicated belowthe head is proportional to the square of the radius and to the speed，and is of the order of 60m for a singlestage centrifugal pump；for higher pressures，multistage pumps must be usedConsider the liquid which is rotating at a distance

Websters Dictionary defines the word cavitation as the rapid formation and collapse of cavities in a flowing liquid in regions of very low pressure. In any dis
37、cussion on centrifugal pumps various terms like vapor pockets, gas pockets, holes, bubbles, etc. are used in place of the term cavities. These are one and the same thing and need not be confused. The term bubble shall be used hereafter in the discussion. In the context of centrifugal pumps, the term
38、 cavitation implies a dynamic process of formation of bubbles inside the liquid, their growth and subsequent collapse as the liquid flows through the pump. Generally, the bubbles that form inside the liquid are of two types: Vapor bubbles or Gas bubbles. 1.Vapor bubbles are formed due to the vaporis
39、ation of a process liquid that is being pumped. The cavitation condition induced by formation and collapse of vapor bubbles is commonly referred to as Vaporous Cavitation. 2.Gas bubbles are formed due to the presence of dissolved gases in the liquid that is being pumped (generally air but may be any
40、 gas in the system). The cavitation condition induced by the formation and collapse of gas bubbles is commonly referred to as Gaseous Cavitation. （2）Important Definitions: To enable a clear understanding of mechanism of cavitation, definitions of following important terms are explored. Static pressu
41、re, Dynamic pressure, Total pressure, Static pressure head, Velocity head, Vapour pressure. Static pressure ：The static pressure in a fluid stream is the normal force per unit area on a solid boundary moving with the fluid. It describes the difference between the pressure inside and outside a system
42、, disregarding any motion in the system. For instance, when referring to an air duct, static pressure is the difference between the pressure inside the duct and outside the duct, disregarding any airflow inside the duct. In energy terms, the static pressure is a measure of the potential energy of th
43、e fluid. Dynamic pressure：A moving fluid stream exerts a pressure higher than the static pressure due to the kinetic energy ( mv2) of the fluid. This additional pressure is defined as the dynamic pressure. The dynamic pressure can be measured by converting the kinetic energy of the fluid stream into
44、 the potential energy. In other words, it is pressure that would exist in a fluid stream that has been decelerated from its velocity v to zero velocity. Total pressure：The sum of static pressure and dynamic pressure is defined as the total pressure. It is a measure of total energy of the moving flui
45、d stream. i.e. both potential and kinetic energy. Velocity head：Vapor pressure is the pressure required to keep a liquid in a liquid state. If the pressure applied to the surface of the liquid is not enough to keep the molecules pretty close together, the molecules will be free to separate and roam
46、around as a gas or vapor. The vapor pressure is dependent upon the temperature of the liquid. Higher the temperature, higher will be the vapor pressure. （3） Cavitation Damage：Cavitation can destroy pumps and valves, and cavitation causes a loss of efficiency in pumps immediately, and also a continuo
47、usly increasing loss of efficiency as the equipment degrades due to erosion of the pump components by cavitation. Therefore It is important to understand the phenomena sufficiently to predict and therefore reduce cavitation and damage from cavitation, and also to diagnose and find practical solutions to cavitation problems。 1）Cavitation Enhanced Chemical Erosion Pumps operating under cavitation conditions become more vulnerable to corrosion and chemical attack. Metals commonly develop an oxide layer or passivated layer whic
