OBJECTIVES
1)To observe the differences between single ,series and parallel p !p operation
")To deter!ine single ,series and parallel p !p characteristic c rves#
S$%%&'(
This e peri!ent is abo t p !p config rations, specificall* single, series, and parallel
p !ps# The e peri!ent re+ ired s to !eas re the flow rates and press re difference
between the three p !p operations# The p rpose of cond cting this e peri!ent is to observe
the differences as well as to deter!ine the characteristic c rves of the single, series, and
parallel p !ps# The para!eters involved in this e peri!ent are vol !etric flow rates, and
different press res - S ction , - .eliver* , - O tflow , and ∆ -)# The res lts in this e peri!ent were
obtained thro gh !anip lating the config rations of the p !ps Shown in &ppendi )# B* the
end of this e peri!ent, an average vol !etric flow rate of 1/#0 23!in was obtained as well
as an average press re difference of 1#4 bar# 5e t, for the series config ration of two p !ps,
an average vol !etric flow rate of 11#06 23!in was obtained as well as an average press re
difference of 1#0 bar, and for the parallel config ration of two p !ps, an average vol !etric
flow rate of 6#70 23!in was obtained as well as an average press re difference of 1#0 bar#
This shows that the three p !p operations possess different flow rates and press re#Theoreticall*, all p !p operations follow the sa!e relationship which is 8 when the press re
increases, the vol !etric flow rate decreases si! ltaneo sl*# Based on the characteristic
c rves Based on 'es lts) plotted, the trend s pported the theor* stated# Besides that, it can
be observed that the parallel p !p has the highest press re which is 1#0 bar, while series
p !p has the lowest press re which is 1#4 bar# In the case of the flow rate, the highest flow
rate is 11#06 23!in which belongs to the series p !p operation, while the lowest flow rate is
6#70 23!in which belongs to the parallel p !p operation# In concl sion, based on the theor*and res lts ac+ ired, the ob9ectives of this e peri!ent have been s!oothl* achieved b t the
res lts and graph obtained are opposite to the theor*#The e planation is in disc ssion#

In this e peri!ent, centrif gal p !ps are connected in series beca se the discharge of one p !p is connected to the s ction side of a second p !p# Two si!ilar p !ps, in series,operate in the sa!e !anner as a two?stage centrif gal p !p# Centrif gal p !ps in series are

DISCUSSION
B* cond cting this e peri!ent consistentl*, we were able to observe the differences
between single, series, and parallel p !ps operation# The e peri!ent was !anip lated to A
t*pes of config rations and to each, vol !etric flow rates, V, need to be obtained in order
to ac+ ire the characteristic c rves#
The vol !etric flow rate, V, was obtained b* !eas ring how long it ta;es, with a
stopwatch, for the fl id in the reservoir to reach 1/ 2# The vol !etric flow rate, V, was
calc lated b* sing the constant vol !e, 1/ 2 over the !eas red ti!e in !in tes# The flow
rates were obtained b* ad9 sting the o tflow press re, - O tflow , fro! /# bar to A#/ bar#
Initiall*, - S ction of single p !p is constant which is /#/ bar for all vol !etric flowrates beca se there is no s ction of fl id sing the energ* b* the p !p and it was the nor!al
flow of fl id# - .eliver* val es were obtained and the graph was plots# The vol !etric flow rate
was calc lated b* sing the constant val e, 1/2 over the !eas red ti!e in !in tes# =or the

It was observed that when the press re increases, the vol !etric flow rate also
increase for series and parallel config ration of two p !p b t for single p !p when the
press re increase, the vol !etric flow rate decrease# These things happened beca se the
e peri!enter !ight have error while controlling the valve and !iscond cted d ring the
operation ca sing the fl id does not flow well# Based on the res lts obtained and the graph
plotted, it can be observed that the stated theor* was not achieved#

. ring this e peri!ent, there are probabilities of so!e errors occ rring# One of the
errors that !ight occ r is ph*sical errors ca sed b* observer), which is to read

deviate so ! ch, and will definitel* affect the trend graph plotted# = rther!ore, paralla error
!ight have contrib ted to the !a9or errors of this e peri!ent# The reason for this is beca se
the observer !ight have recorded the readings while the fl id was still !oving and wasn t
stead* *et, which co ld lead to inacc rate !eas re!ents and res lts#

&s a concl sion, the operational differences between the single, series and parallel
config ration of p !ps and the characteristic of the three config rations of p !ps b*
co!paring the plotted graph can be collected fro! the res lt and the graph#There are so!e !ista;es that !a* ca se the inacc rac* of the res lt#
The errors are e peri!enter error and e+ ip!ent error# E peri!enter
error occ rred when o r lac; of ;nowledge to
handle the !achine# =or other
errors which is too s!all gap of
o tflow press re val e and
when we switch on the
valve for each p !p, the other valve
which not se did not switch off properl* and was ca se the
press re not persistant and the flow rate is not acc rate#

There are so!e reco!!endation that co ld contrib te to better i!prove!ents in this
e peri!ent# &ll the possible errors that !ight occ r in this e peri!ent have been controlled
in order to obtain the best possible res lts# =irstl*, the s*ste!atic error <ero error) sho ld be
controlled b* chec;ing the !eas ring device prior to the e peri!ent# 5e t, paralla error
sho ld also be controlled b* confir!ing the !eas re!ents with gro p !e!bers# Instead of
that, all the config rations of the operations single, series, and parallel p !ps) were
followed e actl* as shown in the laborator* !an al# This is to ens re that there are no

lea;ages, and nsolved errors sho ld be reported to the technician i!!ediatel* so that theo tco!e co ld be the best# The laborator* !an al ! st be read beforehand so that no ti!e
will be wasted in cond cting the e peri!ent, as well as to ;now briefl* on what this
e peri!ent is all abo t#
