Various heads in a pumping installation
(1) Suction lift ,hs:
It represents the vertical distance between the top surface level of sump an the
centre of impeller.
(2) Delivery lift ,hd :
It represents the vertical distance between the centre of impeller and the
discharge level in delivery tank.
(3) Static head ,Hs :
(4) It is the sum of suction lift i.e . it represents the vertical distance between
the top surface level of sump to discharge level in delivery tank. Hence
static head .
Hs = suction lift ,hs + Delivery lift , hd

(b) Explain working and construction of centrifugal pump with neat
sketch .
Ans: Working of Pump
Centrifugal pump works on the principle that when a certain mass of liquid is
made to rotate along the impeller from the central axis of rotation ,it impresses a
centrifugal head. It causes the water to move radially outwards at higher
velocity and causes the water to rise to a higher level .The motion of water is
restricted by casing of pump ,it results into pressure build up.In addition, the
change in angular momentum of liquid during its flow results into increase in
pressure head
