Device Image
Description Technical Details

This apparatus offers versatile configurations for pumps by enabling both series and parallel connections in the circuit. It comprises two high-performance centrifugal pumps with transparent windows, providing a clear view of impellers and their operation. Additionally, the apparatus includes a transparent tank as a water source and a set of transparent tubes. Pressure gauges are placed at the inlet and outlet of each pump to monitor pressure, while a rotameter accurately measures the flow rate of the experiment. Overall, this apparatus offers a comprehensive platform for observing and analyzing pump performance in various configurations.

Learning Objectives:

Demonstrating the characteristics of centrifugal pump in parallel and series by recording the head of the inlet pressure and outlet pressure with flowrate of the circuit.

  1. Demonstrating the principle operating characteristics of centrifugal pump in series, parallel or single pump operation.
  2. Determining the pump characteristic curves of pump in series and parallel configuration and single operation.
  3. Determination of pump power
