Fluid mechanics is a discipline part of the field of applied mechanics that examines the behavior of liquids and gases in a stationary or motion state. The theory of fluid mechanics is closely related to the fluid.
fluid can be interpreted as a liquid. But in reality not all liquids can be categorized as fluids. In particular, fluid is defined as a substance that deforms continuously as long as it is affected by a shear stress. One of the discussions of fluid mechanics is the fluid dynamics we will discuss more specifically in this paper is pump performance.
A pump is a machine that adds energy to the liquid in order to increase the pressure or move the liquid through a pipe. pump can be divided into 2 types.
Centrifugal pumps are the top choice of engineers in pump applications. Centrifugal pump is very simple and versatile. centrifugal pump was introduced by Denis Papin 1689 in Europe and developed in the United States in the early 1800s. At first this pump is known as Archimedean propellers. And initially the majority of pump applications use positive displacement pump.
A centrifugal pump creates a fluid velocity. This velocity energy is then transformed to the pressure energy when the fluid is released from the pump. head that is created can be said to be proportional to the energy of impeller speed.
formula
H= Total head in feet or meters.
v= Impeller speed in feet per second.
g= 32.2 Feet / Seconds
We can estimate the head of a centrifugal pump by calculating the impeller speed and put it in the formula above.
The formula that can be used for such speed
D= Impeller Diameter in inches
V= Speed in feet / sec
That is why we must always base on the understanding of fluid heads in feet / meters and not on pressure, when facing the centrifugal pump. A pump with an impeller type and with a speed, will raise the fluid at a certain height without regard to the weight of the fluid.
An identical pump will be able to serve fluids of varying degrees of viscosity.

Suction Head occurs when the source of supply is above the pump's center line. So Static Suction Head is the vertical distance in feet or meter from the center line of the pump to the height of the pumped fluid.

Impeller is a round disc of metal with a path for fluid flow already installed. Impellers are usually made of bronze, polycarbonate, cast iron or stainless steel, but other materials are also used. As the performance of the pump depends on the type of impeller, then it is important to choose a suitable design and get the impeller in good condition. The number of impellers determines the number of stages of the pump. The single stage pump has one impeller and very suitable for head service (= pressure) low. The two-stage pump has two impellers mounted in series for a moderate head service. The multi-stage pump has three or more impeller mounted series for high head service.
The main function of the casing is to close the impeller on suction and delivery at the tip and so the tank-shaped pressure. The pressure at the suction tip can be as small as 1/10 atmospheric pressure and at the sending end can be 20 times atmospheric pressure at a single stage pump. For multi-stage pump the pressure difference is much higher.
Back plate is made of metal where with the pump casing to form the liquid room for fluid to be used as pressure.
Connection between shaft motor rod/pump and the pump shell is protected by a mechanical seal
Most types of pumps are tried with shourd and legs which can be set. Shroud is limited to muffle noise and protect the motor from damage.
Most pumps have cut rods placed on the motor to combine pressure, abolish the use of keyways. The assembly of cut rods can be simply designed, it still guarantees method direction to reduce noise and vibration.
Most pumps with an IEC standard electric motors. The connection between the motor and the backplate is connected by an adapter which conforms to IEC or C-frame standards of electronic motors.

Outflow direction of the impeller
Centrifugal pump has an impeller (vane) to lift the liquid substance from the lower place to the higher place. External power is given to the pump shaft to rotate the impeller in the liquid.
On the outer circumference of the fan, liquids flowing in the pump house with pressure and speed. In this pump house the liquid is channeled in such a way, so there is a change of velocity into perfect pressure. The liquid column in the fangs is driven. This liquid moves in an unbroken flow from the suction channel through the pump to the canal.

In order for the pump to operate properly, there is a standard protective procedure applied to the centrifugal pump.
In the daily life of many centrifugal pumps provide a great variety of benefits for humans, especially in industry. Secara umum pompa sentrifugal digunakan untuk kepentingan pemindahan fluida dari satu tempat ke tempat yang lainnya
In some cases the use of centrifugal pumps, this pump provides better efficiency than the displacement type pump. This is because this pump has the advantage of other pumps.
