Further, it delivers the liquid only during the delivery stroke. Hence, the weight of the liquid delivered per Second is given by w= WALN) (10.1) 60 the specific weight of the liquid Area of cross-section of cylinder Length of stroke = 2r the radius of crank revolutions of crank per minute. ‘The theoretical work done by the Pump.
