Performance characteristics curve of a centrifugal pump establishes the relationship between the head produced by the pump at different discharge rates. Determine the performance characteristic equation and curve for a 10 inch impeller diameter centrifugal pump. The vane angle of the impeller of the pump at the outlet is 28o . The width of the impeller is constant and is equal to 2 inch. The pump requires a 2.5 kW of power input to run at 2800 rpm. Consider minor loss coefficients of 1.8 and neglect all major losses.
