Explanation:

If a centrifugal pump consists of two or more impellers, the pump is called a multistage centrifugal pump. The impeller may be mounted on the same shaft or on different shafts.

A multistage pump is having the following functions:

To produce high heads:

  • For developing a high head, a number of impellers are mounted in series or on the same shaft.

N = Number of identical impellers mounted on the same shaft

Hm = Head developed by each impeller

Total head developed = N × Hm

The discharge passing through each impeller is the same.
