I have recently set up a 60hp direct coupled pump mounted on a frame with 4 wheels which has the flexible suction pipe on the same axis as the pump/motor. The unit is on the rivers edge with a suction lift of 3ft, everything works fine but I feel it is not meeting its output [...]
what will be the nature of power consumed and pressure if deliv.valve is kept closed and pump was kept running for long time?
The pump is used in the water treatment industry for pumping clean treated water.
The centrifugal pump installed in my factory which sucks water from the tank below suddenly fails to deliver the solution .this happens when the pump is operational.Is it due to air ingress from the stuffing box?we have a conventional type asbestos gland packing .To rule out the usual possibilities i have checked the sucktion pipe [...]
A centrifugal pump is installed on an open large tank and is designed to pump water at rate of 10 L/s through diameter 10cm suction pipe. Calculate the maximum height the pump suction is to be installed if net suction head is 4.0m and vapor pressure of water is 2.34kPa at 20C, 1atm ambient pressure [...]
I’m dead in the middle of a bio-med project and I cant find the answer anywhere.
The meta center most be higher than the center of gravity, correct? Does the center of gravity need to be above the center of buoyancy as well?
right now I am in graduate school studing mechanical engineering with a concentration in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics but as career I want to work in a nuclear power plant. I understand a lot of nuclear engineering or reactor engineering is fluid mechanics but how much and what are the biggest differences
I need to take fluids and will be allowed to, without statics or dymamics; dont ask why. How hard will this be? Is complex calculus constantly needed. I am good at math but dont remember much calc. I will be taking this class and 2 others a top top top top engineering school, how frightend [...]
