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:

  1. Nature of the liquid that has to be pumped.
  2. The volume flow rate of the pump or the required capacity.
  3. Varying conditions on the suction (inlet) side of the pump.
  4. Varying conditions on the discharge side (outlet) of the pump.
  5. Total head on the pump hA.
  6. Nature of the system where the pump will be delivering the fluid.
  7. The type of source which will provide the power to the pump.
  8. Restrictions to the dimensions of the pump.
  9. Cost of the installation of the pump which also includes the cost of the pump itself.
  10. Cost of operating the pump.
  11. The environmental factors.
  12. 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.
