This formula uses 7 Variables
Variables Used
Power - (Measured in Watt) - Power is the amount of energy liberated per second in a device.
Specific Weight - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Specific Weight is defined as weight per unit volume. It is the specific weight of the liquid for which the calculation is being done.
Area of Piston - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of piston is the value of area of the piston in a piston pump.
Length of Stroke - (Measured in Meter) - Length of stroke is the range of movement of piston.
Speed - Speed of a machine/body in rpm.
Height of centre of cylinder - (Measured in Meter) - Height of centre of cylinder in meters.
Height to which liquid is raised - (Measured in Meter) - Height to which liquid is raised in meters.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Specific Weight: 112 Newton per Cubic Meter --> 112 Newton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Area of Piston: 0.05 Square Meter --> 0.05 Square Meter No Conversion Required

13 Fluid Parameters Calculators

Intensity of pressure due to acceleration
Go Pressure = Density*Length of Pipe 1*(Area of cylinder/Area of pipe)*Angular Velocity^2*Radius of crank*cos(Angle turned by crank)
Power Required to Drive Pump
Go Power = Specific Weight*Area of Piston*Length of Stroke*Speed*(Height of centre of cylinder+Height to which liquid is raised)/60
Darcy-Weisbach equation
Go Head loss due to friction = (4*Coefficient of Friction*Length of Pipe 1*Velocity of Liquid^2)/(Diameter of delivery pipe*2*[g])
Acceleration of Piston
Go Acceleration of piston = (Angular Velocity^2)*Radius of crank*cos(Angular Velocity*Time in seconds)
Velocity of Piston
Go Velocity of Piston = Angular Velocity*Radius of crank*sin(Angular Velocity*Time in seconds)
Corresponding distance x travelled by Piston
Go Distance travelled by piston = Radius of crank*(1-cos(Angular Velocity*Time in seconds))
Angle Turned by Crank in Time t
Go Angle turned by crank = 2*pi*(Speed/60)*Time in seconds
Resultant Force on body moving in Fluid with certain Density
Go Resultant Force = sqrt(Drag Force^2+Lift Force^2)
Slip percentage
Go Slip Percentage = (1-(Actual Discharge/Theoretical Discharge of Pump))*100
Cross sectional area of piston given volume of liquid
Go Area of Piston = Volume of Liquid sucked/Length of Stroke
Length of Stroke given Volume of Liquid
Go Length of Stroke = Volume of Liquid sucked/Area of Piston
Slip of Pump
Go Pump Slippage = Theoretical Discharge-Actual Discharge
Slip Percentage given Coefficient of Discharge
Go Slip Percentage = (1-Coefficient of Discharge)*100

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.
