Power required to drive the pump Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Power = Specific Weight*Area of piston*Length of stroke*Speed*(Height of the centre of the cylinder+Height to which the liquid is raised)/60000
P = γ*A_p*L*N*(h_s+h_d)/60000
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Weight - Specific Weight is defined as weight per unit volume. (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter)
Area of piston - Area of piston is the value of area of the piston in a piston pump. (Measured in Square Meter)
Length of stroke - Length of stroke is the range of movement of piston. (Measured in Meter)
Speed- Speed of a machine/body in rpm.
Height of the centre of the cylinder - Height of the centre of the cylinder in meters. (Measured in Meter)
Height to which the liquid is raised - Height to which the liquid is raised in meters. (Measured in Meter)

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Specific Weight: 100 Newton per Cubic Meter --> 100 Newton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Area of piston: 0.1 Square Meter --> 0.1 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Length of stroke: 0.5 Meter --> 0.5 Meter No Conversion Required
Speed: 100 --> No Conversion Required
Height of the centre of the cylinder: 1 Meter --> 1 Meter No Conversion Required
Height to which the liquid is raised: 2 Meter --> 2 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P = γ*A_p*L*N*(h_s+h_d)/60000 --> 100*0.1*0.5*100*(1+2)/60000

Evaluating ... ...

P = 0.025

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.025 Watt --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.025 Watt <-- Power

Power required to drive double acting reciprocating pump

Power = 2*Specific Weight*Area of piston*Length of stroke*Speed*(Height of the centre of the cylinder+Height to which the liquid is raised)/60000 Go

Power required to drive the pump

Power = Specific Weight*Area of piston*Length of stroke*Speed*(Height of the centre of the cylinder+Height to which the liquid is raised)/60000 Go

Weight of water delivered in terms of area, stroke length and speed

Weight of liquid = Specific Weight*Area of piston*Length of stroke*Speed/60 Go

Slip percentage

Slip percentage = (1-(Actual discharge of a pump/Theoretical discharge of a pump))*100 Go

Co-efficient of discharge of pump

Coefficient of Discharge = Actual discharge/Theoretical Discharge Go

Cross sectional area of piston given volume of liquid

Area of piston = Volume of liquid sucked/Length of stroke Go

Length of the stroke given volume of liquid

Length of stroke = Volume of liquid sucked/Area of piston Go

Slip of the pump

Pump slippage = Theoretical Discharge-Actual discharge Go

Weight of water delivered per second

Weight of liquid = Specific Weight*Discharge Go

Slip Percentage in terms of coefficient of discharge

Slip percentage = (1-Coefficient of Discharge)*100 Go

Power required to drive the pump Formula

Power = Specific Weight*Area of piston*Length of stroke*Speed*(Height of the centre of the cylinder+Height to which the liquid is raised)/60000
P = γ*A_p*L*N*(h_s+h_d)/60000

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.

How to Calculate Power required to drive the pump?

Power required to drive the pump calculator uses Power = Specific Weight*Area of piston*Length of stroke*Speed*(Height of the centre of the cylinder+Height to which the liquid is raised)/60000 to calculate the Power, The Power required to drive the pump formula is defined as the product of specific weight, area of the piston, stroke length, speed, and the sum of the height of center of cylinder and height to which liquid is raised divided by 60000. Power is denoted by P symbol.

FAQ

What is Power required to drive the pump?

The Power required to drive the pump formula is defined as the product of specific weight, area of the piston, stroke length, speed, and the sum of the height of center of cylinder and height to which liquid is raised divided by 60000 and is represented as P = γ*A_p*L*N*(h_s+h_d)/60000 or Power = Specific Weight*Area of piston*Length of stroke*Speed*(Height of the centre of the cylinder+Height to which the liquid is raised)/60000. Specific Weight is defined as weight per unit volume, Area of piston is the value of area of the piston in a piston pump, Length of stroke is the range of movement of piston, Speed of a machine/body in rpm, Height of the centre of the cylinder in meters & Height to which the liquid is raised in meters.

How to calculate Power required to drive the pump?

The Power required to drive the pump formula is defined as the product of specific weight, area of the piston, stroke length, speed, and the sum of the height of center of cylinder and height to which liquid is raised divided by 60000 is calculated using Power = Specific Weight*Area of piston*Length of stroke*Speed*(Height of the centre of the cylinder+Height to which the liquid is raised)/60000. To calculate Power required to drive the pump, you need Specific Weight (γ), Area of piston (A_p), Length of stroke (L), Speed (N), Height of the centre of the cylinder (h_s) & Height to which the liquid is raised (h_d). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Specific Weight, Area of piston, Length of stroke, Speed, Height of the centre of the cylinder & Height to which the liquid is raised and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Power?

In this formula, Power uses Specific Weight, Area of piston, Length of stroke, Speed, Height of the centre of the cylinder & Height to which the liquid is raised. We can use 1 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Power = 2*Specific Weight*Area of piston*Length of stroke*Speed*(Height of the centre of the cylinder+Height to which the liquid is raised)/60000
