The centrifugal pump discharge formula is 

  1. Q = π.D.B.Vf
  2. Q = 2π.D.B.Vf
  3. Q = π/4.D.B.Vf
  4. Q = π/4.D2.B.Vf

Choose the correct answer from the given options and also provide a detailed solution to the answer.

Answer: Option A

The centrifugal pump discharge formula is Q = π.D.B.Vf

Solution:

The discharge of a centrifugal pump is the product of the flow area of the pump and flow velocity. It is given as;

Q = Flow area at inlet x flow velocity at inlet = Flow area at outlet x flow velocity at the outlet

Q = A1.Vf1=A2.Vf2

Q = π.D1.B1.Vf1=.D2.B2.Vf2

Where;

  • D1 and D2 = Diameter of the impeller at inlet and outlet.
  • B1 and B2 = Width of the impeller at inlet and outlet
  • Vf1 and Vf2 = Flow velocity and inlet and outlet.

Hence, the centrifugal pump discharge formula is Q = π.D.B.Vf
