6:30 isn't flow relative to pressure? i.e decreasing flow increases head pressure and vice versa along the pump performance curve.

The easiest way to remember these formulas is just old_flow/new_flow = rpm_old/rpm_new and just solve for what you want using Algebra.

[@hnz225]

These formulas are called affinity laws

If for a 40mtr total head we're using a duty and standby pump what head should be considered for each individual pump? 40mtr head x 2 pumps or 20mtr head x 2 pumps ??

) 75% sulphuric acid, of density 1650 kg/m3 and viscosity 8.6 mN.s/m2 , is to be pumped for 0.8 km along a 50mm internal diameter pipe at the rate of 3.0 kg/s, and then raised vertically 15m by the pump. If the pump is electrically driven and has an efficiency of 50%, what is the power required? What type of pump would you use and of what material would you construct the pump and pipe? Take R/ρu2 = 0.004 (e = 0.046mm) where R is the resistance to flow per unit area of pipe surface.

This vedio is useful but I have a question when calculating head pressure -increase or decrease RPM why do you square RPM (new) and RPM (old) and the same with head preassure flow rate. can you cralify on that

[@jaypee3496]

hello, you used the same ratio and proportion for New Flow Rate and Pump RPM in video @2:33 and @4:27. Of course they will be the same result.

[@EngineeringMindset]

Yes, it was done this way for that exact reason

[@gotbread2]

At 6:46 on the right side it says "gpm" divided by "rpm". Also im a bit confused if that equation is correct because 1) the pressure increases with flow and 2) at zero flow you would have zero pressure.

[@EngineeringMindset]

Need to know how long it runs for, do you want e.g. 3m^3 in 1 hour or over 24 hours. Then you need to know the difference in height from pickup to drop off. Then need to know the pipe diameter and roughness and length to calculate the resistance. Then put this all together and you know the size of the pump needed

The equations used are theoretical and the results in real world applications will be somewhat different. There are limits to how much pressure the rpm can provide, check the manufacturers design data.

What is the relation between Head Pressure and Pump Power? I did some arrangements to all your formulas and I got that Head Pressure (new)=Head Pressure (old) x [Pump Power (new)/Power Pump (old)]^2/3 (here, 2/3 is 0.6666667). But from another equation relation between Power (P)=Force (F) x velocity (v) and Pressure (p)= Force (F)/Cross Section (A), which A x v = Q we got that Head Pressure = [(Pump Power (P)/Flow Rate (Q)) x efficiency (n)]. Here, the Head Pressure is directly linear with the Pump Power. Did I miss something?

[@danialahmed1994]

i guess that there is something missing here. As ratios are equal first question is why are they equal..? and second u should put some original formulas there too like Power/RPM cube is equal to what?

[@TheConfuciusPanda]

These laws assume that the pump efficiency is constant across all regions of the pump curve; which of course is not true. The accuracy of these calculations will vary from pump model to pump model. Even using the same model but altering the impeller size can cause huge variation. In practice, I would never use the affinity laws and instead try to interpolate between two points for the best results.

Thank you for the helpfull video. Can you give me the info, how changes the pressure depending from the diameter of the impeller? Thank you veryí much: georg Balog

[@EngineeringMindset]

Hi Balog, you can use the formula P2/P1=(D2 /D1)^2 where P = pressure, D = diameter 1=old, 2=new. Just rearrange the formaula.

Thank you, my friend. We need pumps for water well drill fluid, mud with a lot of sand, clay a.s.o, and professional pumps are really very expensieve. We would like to give a try to self build pumps. I will send you pictures, wenn it will work.

[@EngineeringMindset]

Sounds like a great project. If it's a mix of mud, sand and water have you considered an Archimedean screw pump. It works very well for these applications as all external with no impeller

Hallo, I don't belive them would work, because we need higher pressure. We are using pumps like this: www.rotek.at/a000/000/000000867_00_RT_A_de.html or for smaller drillings this one: wholesaler.alibaba.com/product-detail/Juanyong-Brand-gasoline-engine-Sewage-pump_60289442112.html But they can not handle well Mud, normaly we should use pumps like this: www.hydropipe.at/Muyuan-Prospekt_red.pdf wich are to expensive. Now I want to try build anything what is not a very high quality pump, but cheap with the parts.

May I ask, is the liquid flow same as (or at least close to) the flow rate at the pump nameplate? Eg. the design nominal head is 30m, and nominal flow rate at 45m3/h, let say in the actual system the head loss is only 20m and the pump is oversized, will the flow rate higher than this design flow rate of 45m3/h or still around this value?

How to convert motor H min in metre to frequency

[@benisleviosa]

hey I have a query -- i've been watching your videos from 3 phase to transformers to invertors to induction motors to pumps... and if the frequency/Hz affects the rpm of the motor thus the rpm of the pump... would a 60hz supply cause 3600 rpm? if a pump has an rpm of 1200 or 1300 like in this, do they have a controller?

[@lutosronnie]

A controller affects rpm by changing the frequency of the motor. If the frequency is not altered and is at line frequency (60Hz for USA and 50Hz for Europe), the motor rpm is determined by the number of motor poles. RPM = 120* frequency/No. of poles

[@TheConfuciusPanda]

Convert you 161 lift (head) to a pressure measurement. I don't work in imperial, but if a pump is able to produce 20 meters of lift my discharge pressure would be approximately 2 bar.

Imagine an standard 3 phase irrigation pump of 20HP... if I want to use only photovoltaics panels, to dimension the PV plant I need to know how much pannels I require to fulfill the irrigation hours... with a known solar profile per Watt, at each day hours the PV panels through the Inverter will deliver a different electric power, which need to be converted into pumped flow for a defined pressure head...¿how you could convert this electric power at fix voltage into pump flow at fix head? (It will depend in the number of PV panels and irrigation requirement, so it is not trivial at all).... hope you can review it to help the spread of PV pumping with standard equipement (current PV pumps are small and with no spare parts market, so aren't recomended by irrigation designers)

[@EngineeringMindset]

Well it would be better to store the solar energy in a battery bank and then use an inverter to power the pump. The inverter will let the pump run at the required speed and head pressure and it will pull as much power as it needs. The the pump doesn't need to run only when it's sunny

[@whatitmeans]

@@EngineeringMindset actually that is part of the economic assessment you have to do to size the project, since batteries are one of the expensive parts of the system, and PV pannels are cheaper nowadays related to the inverter, you consider first to oversize the ammount of panels and lose energy of the daily peak in favor of more hours of energy production during the day (current inverters support near 50% of oversize in DC peak power/ máx AC power). A few months ago I tried to do the assesment for a small high-flow pump to move water between two ponds, were the farmer use a gas pump and he was wanting to know if PV could be cheaper on a 5 yrs payback analysis... considering irrigation in farms runs on the month with higher availability of sunlight, I started the analysis but I get stack since as electrician I wasn't able to properly model the pump running with a variable power electricity input.. was the first time I saw affinity laws, but they end to be not enough information to made the output power-or-flow graph vs electric power input for a fixed head... give it a second thought, surely it will be a good video.. also related papers I found were highly misterious on how the closed the connection about the input power and output power for the induction electric motor and the variable frequency drive.

[@EngineeringMindset]

It's not so difficult to calculate, you'll need the pump data from manufacturer, some will provide with vfd, if not you find a vfd that will fit and see what the losses will be from the manufacturers chart. At full load the vfd losses will be highest. Once you know maximum values calculate run time and then you'll know how much power and for how long, then you can size your battery bank and then your solar array needed to capture that much, plus a safety factor. There's other things like ram pumps which require no electricity. They could use anaerobic digestor from farm waste. Wind.

If 1 pump is 3 bar and I run s second water pump also 3 bar what is the pressure is it 3 or 6

[@TheConfuciusPanda]

You need to clarify the configuration of your system. Are the pumps in series or in parallel? From explanation sake; let's imagine a pump which operates at 3 bar producing a flow rate of 5 l/s. If you operate in series; pumping from one pump directly into the suction side of another, the flow rate of this arrangement would be 5 l/s at 6 bar. The discharge pressures are summed, the flow rate remains constant. If you operate in parallel, two pumps pulling from the same tank and discharging into the same line, the flow rate would be 10 l/s and the pressure 3 bar. If you're unsure about different pump arrangements look up some diagrams.
