LittleInch - I like the idea of using an orifice plate to simulate the head loss, but am having difficulty figuring out how to determine the dimensions. I have a 6" SCH40 pipe that I would have the plate flange mounted on, and would need to have around 150psi head loss at a flow rate of 50 gpm...
Hey all,
I have a question regarding operating a pump at the end of its curve. I have a system where a regenerative turbine centrifugal pump is pumping a fluid up ~400ft at 50gpm. At this point, it's at its peak efficiency on the pump curve. I would like to be able to use these pumps to...
Hey guys,
I'm hoping someone can help with pump type or maybe manufacturer recommendation for my application. I'll list some details below.
- NPSHa > 30ft
- Flowrate between 40 and 100 gpm
- Kinematic Viscosity around 0.000161 ft^2/s
- Specific Gravity of around 0.82
- Temperatures as low...
Hello all,
I'm in the very early stages of planning a project that involves moving a low temperature fluid (-75F) from one of four large reservoirs to one smaller reservoir on an as needed basis. One of the requirements of my project is that I can swap between multiple pumps and multiple source...
Hello all, My name is Dustin and I'm a mechanical engineering student trying to become more familiar with FEA and I'm having some issues with Solidwork Simulation of an example in my textbook. I have used the software before and have had success with it, but I'm struggling to get stress values...
