I performed the calculations and as per them the required power to be provided is coming 40kW when efficiency is kept at 65%, whereas the power provided is 30kW. So here the pump can be changed for better output.
slurry velocity = 3.78m/s
slurry discharge = 0.03066m^3/s
slurry setteling velocity...

slurry produced in whole day is 96 tonns
yes 1.3 bar is discharge pressure at the entry of the tank
50m^3/hr is the flow of slurry mixture including water and deposits
2.5 is SG of solid only
I want to just propose an idea for increasing the efficiency of pumping, or change of pump which will give better output at lower power any thing that would benefit the company. but i stuck at calculation part. like i can only calculate the existing slurry velocity, settling velocity, and the...

I am working on a project as an intern in a steel manufacturing plant. There is a slurry pump namely VASA-284/100. I am unable to find any proper information and formulations required for the calculation regarding slurry pump, its discharge, its efficiency and other parameters. I was hoping to...
