    This document summarizes the steps to calculate the power required for a pump given flow rate, pressure change, and fluid properties. It determines that a reciprocating pump with 14.0 kW shaft power is needed based on the given flowrate of 13,300 kg/h, pressure change of 24.6 bar, and fluid density of 870 kg/m3. The calculated power of 14.0 kW is consistent with the typical power of 14.2 kW for this type of pump shown in Table 1.7.

    HEURISTICS PUMP (P701)

    From Table 11.9, use the following heuristics:


    Rule 1: Power (kW) = (1.67)[Flow(m3/min)]P(bar)/
    Rules 4-7: Type of pump head
    From Figure 1.5 and Tables 1.5 and 1.7,
    Flowrate (Stream 2) = 13,300 kg/h
    Density of fluid = 870 kg/m3
    P = 25.8 1.2 = 24.6 bar = 288 m of liquid (head = P/g)
    Volumetric flowrate = (13,300)/(60)/(870) = 0.255 m3/min
    Fluid pumping power = (1.67)(0.255)(24.6) = 10.5 kW
    From Rules 4-7, pump choices are multistage centrifugal, rotary and reciprocating. Choose reciprocating
    to be consistent with Table 1.7. Typical = 0.75
    Power (shaft power) = 10.5/0.75 = 14.0 kW

    compares with 14.2 kW from Table 1.7.
