Pump Applications
Slide 2
Bernoullis Equation Hydrodynamics (the fluid is moving)
Incompressible fluid (liquids and gases at low pressures) Therefore
changes in fluid density are not considered
Slide 3
Conservation of Mass If the rate of flow is constant at any
point and there is no accumulation or depletion of fluid within the
system, the principle of conservation of mass (where mass flow rate
is in kg/s) requires:
Slide 4
For incompressible fluids density remains constant and the
equation becomes: Q is volumetric flow rate in m 3 /s A is
cross-sectional area of pipe (m 2 ) and V is the velocity of the
fluid in m/s
Slide 5
Example Water is flowing in a 15 cm ID pipe at a velocity of
0.3 m/s. The pipe enlarges to an inside diameter of 30 cm. What is
the velocity in the larger section, the volumetric flow rate, and
the mass flow rate?
Slide 6
Example D 1 = 0.15 mD 2 = 0.3 m V 1 = 0.3 m/sV 2 = ? How do we
find V 2 ?
Slide 7
Example D 1 = 15 cm IDD 2 = 30 cm ID V 1 = 0.3 m/sV 2 = ? We
know A 1 V 1 = A 2 V 2
Slide 8
Answer V 2 = 0.075 m/s
Slide 9
What is the volumetric flow rate?
Slide 10
Volumetric flow rate = Q
Slide 11
Slide 12
What is the mass flow rate in the larger section of pipe?
Slide 13
Mass flow rate =
Slide 14
Slide 15
Bernoullis Theorem Since energy is neither created nor
destroyed within the fluid system, the total energy of the fluid at
one point in the system must equal the total energy at any other
point plus any transfers of energy into or out of the system.
Slide 16
Bernoullis Theorem h = elevation of point 1 (m or ft) P 1 =
pressure (Pa or psi) = specific weight of fluid v = velocity of
fluid
Slide 17
Bernoullis Theorem Special Cases When system is open to the
atmosphere, then P=0 if reference pressure is atmospheric (can be
one P or both Ps)
Slide 18
When one V refers to a storage tank and the other V refers to a
pipe, then V of tank
Reynolds numbers: < 2130 Laminar > 4000 Turbulent Affects
what? The f in Darcys equation for friction loss in pipe Laminar: f
= 64 / Re Turbulent: Colebrook equation or Moody diagram
Slide 28
Total F F = F pipe + F expansion + F contraction + F
fittings
Slide 29
Darcys Formula
Slide 30
Where do you use relative roughness?
Slide 31
Relative roughness is a function of the pipe material; for
turbulent flow it is a value needed to use the Moody diagram ( /D)
along with the Reynolds number
Slide 32
Example Find f if the relative roughness is 0.046 mm, pipe
diameter is 5 cm, and the Reynolds number is 17312
Slide 33
Example
Slide 34
Solution / D = 0.000046 m / 0.05 m = 0.00092 Re = 1.7 x 10 4 Re
> 4000; turbulent flow use Moody diagram

Example Milk at 20.2C is to be lifted 3.6 m through 10 m of
sanitary pipe (2 cm ID pipe) that contains two Type A elbows. Milk
in the lower reservoir enters the pipe through a type A entrance at
the rate of 0.3 m 3 /min. Calculate F.

Try it yourself Find F for milk at 20.2 C flowing at 0.075 m 3
/min in sanitary tubing with a 4 cm ID through 20 m of pipe, with
one type A elbow and one type A entrance. The milk flows from one
reservoir into another.
Slide 54
Pump Applications
Slide 55
Power The power output of a pump is calculated by: W = work
from pump (ft or m) Q = volumetric flow rate (ft 3 /s or m 3 /s) =
density g = gravity
Slide 56
System Characteristic Curves A system characteristic curve is
calculated by solving Bernoullis theorem for many different Qs and
solving for Ws This curve tells us the input head required to move
the fluid at that Q through that system
Slide 57
Example system characteristic curve
Slide 58
Pump Performance Curves Given by the manufacturer plots total
head against volumetric discharge rate Note: these curves are good
for ONLY one speed, and one impeller diameter to change speeds or
diameters we need to use pump laws
Slide 59
Efficiency Total head Power
Slide 60
Pump Operating Point Pump operating point is found by the
intersection of pump performance curve and system characteristic
curve
Slide 61
What volumetric flow rate will this pump discharge on this
system?
Slide 62
Performance of centrifugal pumps while pumping water is used as
standard for comparing pumps
Slide 63
To compare pumps at any other speed than that at which tests
were conducted or to compare performance curves for geometrically
similar pumps use affinity laws
Slide 64
Pump Affinity Laws
Slide 65
Power out equations
Slide 66
A pump is to be selected that is geometrically similar to the
pump given in the performance curve below, and the same system.
What D and N would give 0.005 m 3 /s against a head of 19.8 m? 900W
9m 1400W W 0.01 m 3 /s D = 17.8 cm N = 1760 rpm
Slide 67
What is the operating point of first pump? N 1 = 1760 D 1 =
17.8 cm Q 1 = 0.01 m 3 /s Q 2 = 0.005 m 3 /s W 1 = 9m W 2 = 19.8
m
Slide 68
Now we need to map to new pump on same system curve. Substitute
into Solve for D 2
Slide 69
N 2 = ?
Slide 70
Slide 71
Try it yourself If the system used in the previous example was
changed by removing a length of pipe and an elbow what changes
would that require you to make? Would N 1 change? D 1 ? Q 1 ? W 1 ?
P 1 ? Which direction (greater or smaller) would they move if they
change?

Example Air is to be forced through a grain drying bin similar
to that shown before. The air flows through 5 m of 0.5 m diameter
galvanized iron conduit, exhausts into a plenum below the grain,
passes through a perforated metal floor (10% openings) and is
finally forced through a 1 m depth of wheat having a void fraction
of 0.4. The area of the bin floor is 20 m^2. Find the static and
total pressure when Q=4 m^3/s

Problem 2.4 (page 45) Air (21C) at the rate of 0.1 m^3/(m^2 s)
is to be moved vertically through a crib of shelled corn 1.6 m
deep. The area of the floor is 12 m^2 with an opening percentage of
10% and the connecting galvanized iron pipe is 0.3 m in diameter
and 12 m long. What is the power requirement, assuming the fan
efficiency to be 70%?
