DESIGN OF PUMPSET FOR MAVALLY LWSS AT THONDERNAD GP

No. of house holds 526

Present population 2630
Ultimate population ( growth rate 12%) 2630*1.12*1.12
say 3300
Design supply rate 70 Lpcd
Ulltimate demand 70*3300
231000
efficiency of pump 0.6
pumping duration 6 Hrs
rate of pumping 231000/(6*60*60)
say 10.70 Lps
Ground level of tank 843.00 m
ground level of well 718.00 m
height of inlet level of tank 3.00 m
depth of well ( foot valve level) 6m
maximum static head on pump 134
assuming a frictional lose of 20 % 134*.20
26.80 m
calculated frictional loss of selected pipe lines 7.79 m
selecting maximum value of friction loss 26.8
Total head on pump 160.8
Friction loss for pipe fittings ( 5% of total static head) 134*.05
6.7 m
Head at discharge end 2.00 m
loss at pressure filter ( aprxmate) 3.00 m
Maximum total head on pump 160.8+6.7+2+3
172.50 m
Rate of pumping Q in lps 10.70 lps
efficiency of pump n 0.60%
Break hourse power of pump Q (lps) * H( m)/(75*n)
41.02

On verification with the commercially available pump sets it is seen that 45 HP submersible pump
is enough to meet the required head and discharge.
