List of factors that should be considered when selecting a pump.
Answer to Problem 13.1PP
There are various factors which are to be considered before selecting a pump.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Factors to be considered when selecting a pump.
When selecting a pump following factors should be considered:
- Nature of the liquid that has to be pumped.
- The volume flow rate of the pump or the required capacity.
- Varying conditions on the suction (inlet) side of the pump.
- Varying conditions on the discharge side (outlet) of the pump.
- Total head on the pump hA.
- Nature of the system where the pump will be delivering the fluid.
- The type of source which will provide the power to the pump.
- Restrictions to the dimensions of the pump.
- Cost of the installation of the pump which also includes the cost of the pump itself.
- Cost of operating the pump.
- The environmental factors.
- Various rules and guidelines which demonstrate the running of the pump.
Conclusion:
A pump can be selected considering the above-mentioned factors. Various costs and conditions that are required to be completed.
