Work Done by Double-acting Pump considering all Head Losses

Go Work = (2*Specific Weight*Area of cylinder*Length of Stroke*Speed in RPM/60)*(Suction Head+Delivery Head+((2/3)*Head loss due to friction in delivery pipe)+((2/3)*Head Loss due to Friction in Suction Pipe))

Work Done by Double Acting Reciprocating Pump

Go Work = 2*Specific Weight*Area of Piston*Length of Stroke*(Speed in RPM/60)*(Height of centre of cylinder+Height to which liquid is raised)

Discharge of Double Acting Reciprocating Pump

Go Discharge = (pi/4)*Length of stroke*((2*(Piston Diameter^2))-(Diameter of piston rod^2))*(Speed/60)

Discharge of Double Acting Reciprocating Pump neglecting Diameter of Piston Rod

Go Discharge = 2*Area of Piston*Length of stroke*Speed/60

Power Required to Drive Double acting Reciprocating Pump Formula

Power = 2*Specific Weight*Area of Piston*Length of Stroke*Speed*(Height of centre of cylinder+Height to which liquid is raised)/60
P = 2*γ*A_p*L*N*(h_s+h_d)/60

What are reciprocating pumps?

The reciprocating pump is a positive displacement pump as it sucks and raises the liquid by actually displacing it with a piston/plunger that executes a reciprocating motion in a closely fitting cylinder. The amount of liquid pumped is equal to the volume displaced by the piston.
