TINJAUAN PUSTAKA
II.1 Teori dasar
II.1.1 Fluid
The flow and behavior of a fluids is important in many
operations in process engineering. A fluid may be defined as
a substance that does not permanently resist distortion and,
hance, will change its shape. In this text gases, liquids,
and vapors are considered to have the characteristics of
fluids and to obey many of the same laws (Geankoplis, 1997).
In the process industries, many of the materials are in
fluid from and must be stored, handled, pumped, and
processed, so it is necessary that we become familiar with
the principles that govern the flow of fluids and also with
the equipment used. Typical fluids encountered includewater,
air, CO2, oil,slurries, and thick syrups (Geankoplis, 1997).
If a fluid is inappreciably affected by changes in pressure,
it is said to be incompressible. Most liquids are incompressible.
Gases are considered to be compressible fluids. However, if gases
are subjected to small and they can be considered to be
incompressible (Geankoplis, 1997).
Like alll physical matter, a fluid is composed of an
extremely large number of molecules per unit volume. A theory such
as the kinetic theory of gases or statistical mechanics treats the
motions of moleculess in terms of statistical groups and not in
termsof statistical groups and not in terms of individual
molecules (Geankoplis, 1997).

Fluid Classification
a. Incompressible fluid is a fluid that has a density which is affected slightly by
the rather large changes in temperature and pressure. Contoh : zat
cair
b. Compressible fluid is a fluid that has a density that is sensitive to changes in
temperature and pressure. Example: oxidizing gas
c. Static Fluid (Fluid silent)
Study the fluid at rest and the fluid that is in a place, and there is no
movement between the surrounding elements.
d. Fluid Dynamic (Fluid moves)
No fluid movement between the surrounding elements.
e. Newtonian fluid (a term derived from the name of Isaac Newton)Adalah
suatu fluida yang memiliki
kurva tegangan/regangan yang linier. Contoh umum dari
fluida yang memiliki karakteristik ini adalah air.
b.Fluida non-Newtonian
Adalah suatu fluida yang akan mengalami perubahan
viskositas ketika terdapat gaya yang bekerja pada fluida
tersebut. Hal ini menyebabkan fluida non-Newtonian tidak
memiliki viskositas yang konstan. Berkebalikan dengan
fluida non-Newtonian, pada fluida Newtonian viskositas
bernilai konstan sekalipun terdapat gaya yang bekerja
pada fluida (wikipedia, 2013).

BAB II TINJAUAN PUSTAKA
If there is no energy added to the system as work or
heat, then the total energy of the fluid is converted. In a
special case where no mechanical energy is added and no
friction then become Bernoulli equation, for turbulent flow
which is of sufficient importance to deserve further
discussion.
Gambar II.1.1 Keseimbangan massa pada sistem aliran
this equation covers many important practical situation
and is often used conjuction with the mass balance equation
for steady state.
(Geankoplis, 1997)
II.1.3 Pump
In order to make fluid flow from one point to another in
a closed system or pipe, it is necessary to have driving
force. Sometimes this force is supplied by gravity, where
different in elevation occur. Sometimes energy or driving
force is supplied by mechanical device like pump or blower,

BAB II TINJAUAN PUSTAKA
which increases the mechanic energy of fluid. This energy may
used to increase the velocity, pressure or difference
elevation of the fluids, which seen in mechanical energy
balance equation, which relates v,p,ρ and work. the most
common methods of adding energy are by positive displacement
or centrifugal action.
Generally, the word “pump” is defined as a machine or
device for moving on incompressible liquid. Fans, blower, and
compressor are devices to transfer gas, usually air (Geankoplis,
1997).
II.1.4 Pump Classification
based on the work principle, pumps are classified into :
1. Positive Displacement pump
this pump produce intermitten capacity because the fluid
is pressed in the pump elements with certain volume. Next
positive displacement pumps are classified based on how it’s
move :
Reciprocating pump
Piston pump
Diaphragm Pump
Rotary Pump
Single Rotor pump
Multiple Rotor pump
2. Dynamic Pump
II-4
Laboratorium Operasi Teknik Kimia IProgram Studi D3 Teknik
BAB II TINJAUAN PUSTAKA
Dynamic pump is a pump without change of the position
while its working. this pump has a rotor as a prior element
with an impeller spinning in a high speed. when fluid
transferred into the pump, it is accelerated by impeller
which increase fluid absolute velocity, pressure and throw it
trough volut.
Classification of dynamic pump:
Centrifugal Pump :
Axial Pump
Mixed Flow dan Radial Flow pump
Peripheral Pump
Special effect pump :
Jet pump
Gas Lift pump
Hydraulic RAM pump
Electromagnetic Pump(Igor J. Karassik, 2008)
II.1.5 Centrifugal Pump
This type of pump can only be used for gas and liquid
that does not contain impurities. Centrifugal pump sometimes
is made to suck its own by making a small vacuum pump
according to the principle of liquid bracelet inside or
attached to the pump. So that all air can be sucked out, then
the suction part of the small vacuum pump should be connected
at the highest point of the suction channel.

BAB II TINJAUAN PUSTAKA
II.1.5.1 Work of Centrifugal Pump
The liquid is forced into an impeller by atmospheric
pressure, or in the case of jet pump by artificial pressure.
Impeller fan forward kinetic energy to the liquid, causing
the liquid to spin. The liquid leaves the impeller at high
speed. The impeller is surrounded by a volute casing or in
the case of a turbine pump stationary diffuser. Stationary
volute or diffuser ring converts the kinetic energy into
pressure energy.

BAB II TINJAUAN PUSTAKA
• The position of the guide vane diffuser, inlet and outlet
nozzle
• Place which give the direction of flow of the impeller
• Place convert kinetic energy into energy press.
3. Container
The main function of the container is closed the impeller
at suction and delivery ends and so shaped tank pressure.
4. Difuser guide vane
This section usually form part of the casing or assembled on
the casing by means of bolted. This section serves to:
• Directing the flow of fluid to the volute or to the next
stage.
• Changing the fluid kinetic energy into pressure energy
5. Stuffing box
The main function of stuffing box is to prevent the
leakage in the area where the pump penetratethe casing
6. Wearing ring ( Cincin penahan arus )
Wearing Ring is assembled on the casing (not spinning)
as wearing rings casing and assembled on the impeller
(rotating) as the impeller wearing ring. The main function
of wearing rings is to minimize the leakage of fluid from
the impeller that goes back into the eye of the impeller.
7. Discharge nozzle
Discharge nozzle is the channel fluid out of the pump and
also to increase the pressure out of the pump energy. (awan,
2009)

BAB II TINJAUAN PUSTAKA
II.1.5.3 Pump moving part :
1. Shaft
Shaft serves to continue the drive torque of the pump
during operation, and is the seat of the impeller and other
rotating parts.
2. Shaft sleeve
Shaft sleeve serves to protect the shaft from
erosion, corrosion and wear, especially if it past the
stuffing box shaft.
3. Wearing ring
Wearing Ring is assembled on the casing (not
spinning) as wearing rings casing and assembled on the
impeller (rotating) as the impeller wearing ring. The main
function of wearing rings is to minimize the leakage of
fluid from the impeller that goes back into the eye of the
impeller.
4. Impeller
Impeller serves to transform the mechanical energy of
the pump energy into the fluid velocity in the pumped
continuously, so the liquid on the suction side
continuously will also fill the void due to the
displacement of fluids before. (awan, 2009)

Gambar II.1.3 Centrifugal Pump(Geankoplis, 1997)
Many factors to establish the actual efficiency and
performance characteristics of the pump. Therefore, it is
necessary to establish performance characteristics of the
pump experimentally. Performance is usually expressed by
using a pump manufacturing curve called a pump characteristic
curve. Head H (m) is generated will be the same for any
liquid of the same viscosity. The resulting pressure, P1 =
H.ρ.g, will be proportional to the density. Less than 0.05
Pa.s viscosity (50 cp) has little effect on the resulting
head (Geankoplis, 1997).
II.1.5.4 Advantage and Disadvantage of Centrifugal Pump
The advantages of centrifugal pumps include:
1. Cheaper price
2. Construction is simple pump
3. Easy installation and maintenance
4. Capacity and high tap (head) high

BAB II TINJAUAN PUSTAKA
5. High reliability and durability
Disadvantages of centrifugal pumps include:
1. Limited pengembus pressure (delivery pressure)
2. Not being able to lure the fluid itself. So it is usually
used multingkat same wheelbase and is driven by a motor(Repository.USU.ac.id, 2007)
Pheriperal Pump
Peripheral pumps or regenerative pump is a centrifugal
pump with moving wheels so it is called as a form of
peripherals. Almost all of the characteristics of different
peripherals wheel very far with radial wheels. At the highest
and lowest pressure needed the highest rate of high energy.
Work of Pheriperal Pump
fluid get in the pump and go out during some periods.
Increasing of fluid velocity gradually increases when
compared with centrifugal pumps.
Gambar II.1.4 Pheriperal Pump
advantage of pheriperal pump:
• Economical because less energy is used than centrifugal
pumps.
II-10

BAB II TINJAUAN PUSTAKA
• Easy to use because it has a simpler design than
centrifugal pumps.
• Suitable for use in households and industry.
Disadvantages pheriperal pump:
• Maintenance costs are not cheap.
Gambar II.1.5 Curve of Centrifugal Pump and Pheriperal Pump
Cavitation
Steam bubbles on the liquid side of a pump caused by
rapid local pressure drop that occurs very close to or
touching the pump casing or impeller. So the pressure
reduction causes the bubbles collapse and rupture, and cause
cavitation. Cavitation produces noise and vibration and cause
the pump loses the hydrodinamik efficiency. It is influence
the boiling point, which occurs when the heat arising at the(Wahren, 1997).
The Caused of Cavitation on Centrifugal Pump
II-11
Laboratorium Operasi TeknikKimia I
Program Studi D3 Teknik
BAB II TINJAUAN PUSTAKA
The centrifugal pump has technical properties that must
be met in order to operate properly. One of the problems that
often occur in this type of pump is a pump failure in the
process of priming, so pump can not suck and pumping
eventually fail and cause damage to parts of the pump.
There are several causes of cavitation in centrifugal pumps
them, are:
1. Vaporation (evaporation)
2. Water ingestion (entry of outside air into the system)
3. Internal recirculation (recirculation within the system)
4. Turbulance (turbulence flow)
5. Vane Passing Syndrome
How to avoid cavitation process is most appropriate to the
installation of the pump NPSH available is greater than the
NPSH required (scribd, 2006).
II.1.6 Charateristic of Pump System
II.1.6.1 System Resistance (head)
a. Static Head
Static head is the height difference between the source
and destination of the fluid being pumped (see Figure
II.1.2a). Static head is independent flow (see Figure
II.1.2b). Static head at certain pressure depends on the
weight of the liquid and can be calculated by the following
equation:
Static head is composed of:
II-12
Laboratorium Operasi Teknik Kimia IProgram Studi D3 Teknik
BAB II TINJAUAN PUSTAKA
• Static suction head (hS): resulting from the removal of
the fluid relative to the center line of the pump. hS is
positive if the liquid level is above pump centerline, and
negative if the level is below the center line of the pump
(also called "suction lifter")
• Static discharge head (hd): vertical distance between the
center line of the pump and liquid level in the tank
purposes.
Gambar II.1.6 Head Statik
b. Head friction (hf)
This is a loss that is necessary to overcome the
resistance to flow in pipes and fittings. Head is depend on
the size, condition and type of pipe, number and type of
fittings, flow, and the nature of the fluid. Head friction /
friction is proportional to the square of the flow rate as
shown in Figure II.1.6. Closed-loop circulation system
showing only head friction / friction (not the static head).

Head =
(Geankoplis, 1997)
Head loss :
Fanning did a lot of experiments to provide friction factor
data, but the head loss calculation has been implemented by
using the equation of hydraulic radius (not diameter pipe).
• The calculation involves dividing the hydraulic radius of
the cross sectional area of the flow area by the wetted
perimeter.
• For pipes with a full stream flow, the hydraulic radius is
equal to ¼ the diameter of the pipe, so that the head loss
equation becomes:
hf = f f(L/Rh) x (v2/2g)
Dimana Rh adalah hydraulic radius (¼ diameter pipa) dan
f f adalah fanning friction factor (Geankoplis, 2003).

This type of valve has a sealing disc shape, or often
called the wedge , which is driven upwards down to open and
close. Usually used for open or closed position is perfect
and is not recommended for most open positions. Valve ( Valve
) is called a gate valve because it contains an element
called the gate closure that stops flowing . The door acts
like a shutter gate that separates the inside of the house
from the outside or the door separating the two rooms.

BAB II TINJAUAN PUSTAKA
Pompa centrifugal adalah jenis pompa yang sangat banyak
dipakai oleh industri terutama pengolahan dan pendistribusian
air bekerja dengan prinsip putaran impeler sebagai elemen
pemindah fluida yang digerakkan oleh suatu penggerak mula.
Zat cair akan berputar akibat dorongan sudu-sudu dan
menimbulkan gaya centrifugal yang menyebabkan cairan mengalir
dari tengah impeler dan keluar melalui saluran sudu-sudu dan
meninggalkan impeler dengan kecepatan tinggi. Cairan dengan
kecepatan tinggi ini dilewatkan saluran yang penampangnya
makin membesar sehingga terjadi perubahan head (tinggi tekan)
kecepatan menjadi head tekanan. Setelah cairan dilemparkan
oleh impeller, ruang diantara sudu-sudu menjadi vacuum,
menyebabkan cairan akan terhisap masuk sehingga terjadi
proses pengisapan. Memperhatikan hal tersebut dan dengan
luasnya aplikasi penggunaan pompa centripugal ini, maka
diperlukan stabilitas yang tinggi dan performansi yang sangat
prima dan dapat diandalkan,dan apabila turunnya performansi
pompa secara tiba-tiba dalam operasi sering menjadi masalah
dan mengganggu kinerja sistem secara keseluruhan. Turunnya
performansi pompa secara tiba-tiba dan ketidakstabilan dalam
operasi akan menjadi masalah, indikasi penyebab turunnya
performansi pompa adalah salah satunya disebabkan oleh
kavitasi (cavitation). Kavitasi didefinisikan sebagai
pembentukan rongga kosong dalam suatu cairan dengan high forces
dan kemudian pecah, kavitasi ini terjadi ketika cairan
tersebut berada pada daerah yang mengalami perubahan tekanan

dengan cepat. Fenomema ini sangat berbahaya dan diketahui
sebagai fenomena yang bersifat merusak pada bagian-bagian
penting instrument pompa dan menurunkan performansi dari
pompa itu sendiri. Dalam hal kavitasi ini bagian pompa yang
sering mengalami kavitasi adalah sisi isap pompa. Hal ini
terjadi jika tekanan isap pompa terlalu rendah hingga dibawah
tekanan uap jenuh.
II.2.2 Metodologi Percobaan
Tujuan umum dari penelitian ini adalah pemantauan bubbles
yang akan timbul pada
daerah impeler yan mengakibatkan timbulnya getaran yan
spesifik, pengukuran getaran tersebu dilakukan dengan
menggunakan sinyal vibrasi getaran dengan memvariasika valve

Data yang diperoleh berupa data dinamis selanjutnya
ditransfer ke komputer untuk diolah dan ditampilkan dalam
bentuk table dan grafik. Hasil pengolahan data tersebut yang
berupa laporan akan dianalisa untuk mengetahui pengaruh
bubble yang terjadi terhadap karakteristik getaran yang
terjadi. Adapun variable yang diamati adalah : 1) Frekuensi
dan accelerasi pada jerk 2) Kapasitas pompa 3) Putaran pompa 4)
Tekanan pada sisi isap dan tekan 5) Bubble yang terjadi setiap
