Hey guys, I have another pump related question. I know that diaphragm pumps and vane pumps are commonly used in pressure washing applications. My question is, is there a pump type or brand of pump that is common place in any type of system that is used to move water or fluid. For example, is...
Yes, but in the fluid mechanics book that I have (by Fox and McDonald) they give an equation that can be substituted within Bernoulli's equation that gives the frictional losses.
hl = Frictional Losses = f*(L/D)*((V^2)/2) where f is the friction factor, L is the pipe (or for our case hose)...
Thanks for the info in the reply! One quick question, and please don't think me too much of a novice for asking this if it is common mechanical engineering knowledge, but why is Bernoulli not a sufficient way to model this kind of flow?

Hello all, I am a mechanical engineer working on a very particular application involving a fluid pump required to supply cleaning fluid (could be cleaning solution or just plain water) to a set of nozzles at the top of an 80 foot elevation. Attached is a layout of the overall system design...
