THEORETICAL HEAD DEVELOPED BY AN IMPELLER


ESPs are multi stage centrifugal pumps. The two main components of a centrifugal pump are the impeller and the diffuser.
The Impeller takes the power from the rotating shaft and accelerates the fluid.

The diffuser transforms the high fluid velocity (kinetic energy) into pressure.









The main components of an ESP including:
Impellers
Casing
Diffusers
Shaft
Thrust washers
Bushing





















Assumptions:
1.Two dimensions: radial and tangential direction.
2.The impeller passages are  completely filled with the flowing fluid at all time (no void spaces)
3.The streamlines have a shape similar to the blade’s shape
4.Incompressible, inviscid, and single phase fluid
5.The velocity profile is sysmetric.
The head calculated based on these assumptions is known as the theoretical head

  1. I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your article . Your detailed explanation and diagram of the centrifugal pump have helped me better understand the workings of this important machine. I appreciate the time and effort you put into creating this valuable resource. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us!
