What is centrifugal pump and reciprocating pump.


What is centrifugal pump  and reciprocating pump. 


Centrifugal pump:- if the mechanical energy is converted in to pressure energy by means of centrifugal force acting on the fluid,

The hydraulic machine is called centrifugal pump.

Main parts of centrifugal pump:-

1.  Impeller

2.  Casing

3.  Suction pipe with a foot valve and a strainer

4.  Delivery pipe

5.  Delivery valve

6.  Eye of pump

7.  Sump

Reciprocating pump:- if the mechanical energy is converted in to hydraulic energy by sucking the liquid in to a cylinder. The pump is known as reciprocating pump.
Main parts of reciprocating pump:-
1.  Delivery pipe
2.  Delivery valve
3.  Cylinder
4.  Piston
5.  Connecting rod
6.  Crank
7.  Suction valve
8.  Suction pipe
9.  Piston rod
10.Sump level

Determine the height of a rectangular weir of length 6m to be built across a rectangular channel. Maximum depth of water on the upstream side of the weir is 1.8 and discharge is 2000 l/sec . Take Cd = 0.6 and neglect end contractions.
