Heat addition due to pump 1

[Design_PEPL]

How much heat a pump can add to the coolant (DM water +Ethylene Glycol 50:50) of maximum flow is 1.94 LPS at a 26-meter head. the pump is a Single-phase multistage centrifugal pump with a motor of 1.5 hp capacity and 50% pump efficiency.

Ultimately in a closed loop, ALL of the pump energy will turn to heat, either in a sudden jump straight after the pump or as friction losses around the loop.

That pump shaft duty at that efficiency is close to 1kW. So 0.5kWjump after the pump and 0.5kW around the loop.

That equates to about 0.5C rise in each case. Maybe a little more as glycol is lower heat capacity than water. but no more than 1C at most.

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

With a control volume drawn around the whole system, I won't argue with that. In the end, its just a tea kettle.

And 1.5 hp is but a toy.

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)

But I have been burned by a tea kettle. Guess its all relative...
