Two pipelines converge
Thread Content
Hello everyone, I have a question. There are two locations, and one of them already has a pump with a flow rate of 58 and a head of 30. I now want to install a submersible pump in another location (the tank has a volume of 1 cubic meter, with a maximum water inflow rate of 10 cubic meters per hour). The submersible pump should have a flow rate of 15 and a head of 31. Both pumps pass through 150 meters of pipeline and an elevation difference of 8 meters to reach a convergence point; from there, they flow through a single pipeline over another 150 meters to reach their destination. It’s possible to run the two pumps simultaneously. Can the additional submersible pump deliver liquid? How to calculate the flow rate that can be transported separately? I am extremely grateful
Can’t get through. Although parameters such as the height difference between the pool and the pump inlet are unknown, it’s definitely impossible to pump water through. If a suitable reciprocating pump is used, along with the appropriate elevation, it can be pumped through.
What about the pressure of the pipeline that is being integrated? And the pressure at the destination? Both are unknown
The pump head is known, so the pressure can be estimated; the destination is an open container
