A system requires a pump to deliver 30 gal/min at 1500 lbf/in2 at an engine speed of 2000 rpm. calculate theoretical pump displacement, engine torque to drive the unit, and horsepower.
If a certain centrifugal pump generates 50 meters of head pumping water with a 1.0 specific gravity, how much head does it generate pumping sulfuric acid with a 1.82 specific gravity? (assuming the driver is powerful enough to handle it)
A centrifugal pump equipped with a variable frequency (speed) drive running at 3300 rpm is discharging 250 gallons per minute corresponding with a head of 235 feet. The horsepower is 34.2. If the pump’s speed is reduced to 2700 rpm, what will be the revised flow rate, head, and power required?
