What will happen if low viscosity passing through the pump? In any pumping system, when water is substituted with a viscous fluid, the absorbed power increases while head and flow rate generated by the pump decrease. This kind of loss is the power absorbed for rotating the fluid between external surface of the impeller and internal wall of the casing. Which pump is used for low viscous fluid? centrifugal pumps Generally speaking, centrifugal pumps are most suitable for low viscosity fluids, since the pumping action generates high liquid shear. As viscosity increases, pump performance diminishes due to friction loss. How...
