(Urgent) I need the masters to help me figure out the actual flow rate and actual head
Thread Content
The circulation pump has a power of 11 kilowatts, a head of 50 meters, a flow rate of 50 cubic meters, an outlet pressure of 0.35 bar, a current consumption of 13 amps. The temperature of the oil at the outlet is 250 degrees Celsius, while the temperature of the oil returning to the pump is 246 degrees Celsius. The height of the reservoir is 2.5 meters. What are the actual flow rate and actual head?
The actual head is simply the outlet pressure minus the inlet pressure, divided by the density. For the actual flow rate, refer to the pump’s characteristic curve; the flow rate corresponding to that head is what matters.
