ABSTRACT
This project reports the design, manufacture, and experimental test of a centrifugal pump for pumping water. This pump finds application in Homes, Agriculture, and Industries. It consists of an impeller shaft, suction and delivery pipes and an electric motor. The pump should be installed close to the source of water to be pumped for good operation.
Experiments were performed on the centrifugal pump with the aim of evaluating the pump performance. This involves measuring the height to which the water can be pumped and the volume of water that can be pumped per second. Results show that a height of 34.7m. and volume of 16200 litres/hri.e 4.5 litres/sec. can be obtained with the pump. The pump efficiency was 90. The pump was powered by 2.5kw / 2900rpm single phase electric motor.
