Topic – Pumping Systems
P1 = 0
P -> pressure
V1 = 0 ƍ -> density of fluid
Z1 = 0 V -> velocity
Z -> elevation
P2 = 0
H -> head
• For finding operating point:
Hsystem = Hloss + Hstatic
Hloss = k (V̇2)
Hstatic = some constant value = k’
• Operating point:
For steady state flow of a liquid through a pipeline system the total
head developed by a pump (Hpump) must be equal to the system head
(Hsystem) at a given flow rate. This is known as operating point of a
pump.
