5. Pipe Data:

Inlet pipe dia: 0.150 m

Outlet pipe dia: 0.150 m

Inlet Pipe length: 13 m

Outlet pipe length: 12 m

Inlet Velocity (V1): 1.179 m/s (pipe diameter calculator; Global spec engineering toolbar)

Outlet Velocity (V2): 0.6631 m/s (pipe diameter calculator; Global spec engineering toolbar)

Frictional factor: 0.015 (friction factor table for different pipe sizes)

6. Calculations

1. Suction head:

1. Inlet friction head=[ .015 * 13 * ( 1.179)2] / [ .150 * 2 * 9.81 ]

= 0.0921 m

2. Inlet equipment lose= 0 ( consider no equipments are connected in line)

3. Static suction lift = 5 m ( flooded suction )

4. Atmospheric head= 10.33 m

5. Gauge inlet pressure= nil

Total suction head = inlet friction head + Inlet equipment lose + Static suction lift + Atmospheric-
-head +Gauge inlet pressure+ ( (inlet velocity) 2/2g)

= 0.0921+0+5+10.33+0+((1.179)2/2*9.81)

= 15.49 m

2. Discharge head:

1. Discharge friction head = [ .015 * 12 * ( 0.6631)2] / [ .200 * 2 * 9.81 ]

= 0.0637 m

2. Outlet equipment lose= 0 ( consider no equipments are connected in line)

3. Static discharge lift = 6 m

4. Atmospheric head= 10.33 m

5. Gauge outlet pressure= nil

Total discharge head = outlet friction head + outlet equipment lose + Static discharge lift +
Atmospheric head +gauge outlet pressure+ ( (outlet velocity) 2/2g)

= 0.0637+o+6+10.33+0+ ((0.6631)2/2*9.81)

= 16.40 m
 3. Total Dynamic head(Pump Head):

Total head = suction head + discharge head

= 15.49 + 16.40

= 31.89 m

4. NPSHa = Total suction head – vapour pressure of fluid

= 15.49 – 2.034

= 13.46 m

7. Pump CharacteristicsSpecifications (Do not include as of now)

1. Construction
2. Angle between inlet and outlet
8. Power Considerations
1. Power Source:
2. Speed : 1450/1150 RPM
3. Frequency[50/60 Hz] – As discussed, this will change the pump characteristics therefore
has to be considered for pump selection.:50/60 Hz
4. Motor Standards (If applicable) specifications – Hazardous area classification if
applicable
9. Pump standard:
1. IEC/ NEMA
