Pump selection for pipeline systems
Thread Content
Dear sea friends. My system’s pipeline has a diameter of 4 cm and the highest point is at 2.7 m. I want the maximum pressure indicated by the pressure gauge to be 0.35 MPa, with a flow rate of 10 cubic meters per hour. What should be the head required of the pump? It’s used for transporting coal slurry. Please help!
45 meters is sufficient, but to ensure that the manufacturer can meet the requirements, it’s better to go for over 50 meters
Thank you! I used Bernoulli’s equation to calculate for 40m, but I ignored the pipe losses hw; I’m not sure if that’s correct
We discussed it in the group last night; 40 meters is sufficient.
