Slip percentage Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Slip Percentage = (1-(Actual Discharge/Theoretical Discharge of Pump))*100
SP = (1-(Q_act/Q_theoretical))*100
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Slip Percentage - Slip percentage is defined as the ratio of difference between the actual and theoretical discharge to the theoretical discharge of the pump.
Actual Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Actual discharge is given by the actual area and velocity.
Theoretical Discharge of Pump - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Theoretical Discharge of Pump is the volume of liquid pumped out in unit time.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Actual Discharge: 0.4284 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.4284 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Theoretical Discharge of Pump: 0.84 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.84 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

SP = (1-(Q_act/Q_theoretical))*100 --> (1-(0.4284/0.84))*100

Evaluating ... ...

SP = 49

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

49 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

49 <-- Slip Percentage

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

Slip percentage Formula

Slip Percentage = (1-(Actual Discharge/Theoretical Discharge of Pump))*100
SP = (1-(Q_act/Q_theoretical))*100
