How to estimate the efficiency of a pump?..

Answer / mm

Efficiency of the pump is derived from the following
formula.
First BHP of the pump is calculated .
BHP = Q*H *Sp.gravity of the liquid pumped, divided by
367.2 * efficiency of the pump.
Then for calculating the power of driver required to pump,
is calculated by
HP = Q*H*Sp.gravity of liquid /367.2*effciency of
pump*efficency of motor.
Now efficiecny of the pump is calculated from the above as
= HP of motor * efficiency of motor *367.2 / Q*H*Sp.gravity

Question 57 – There are 2 simultaneous equations : (A1) x + (B1) y = D1 and (A2) x + (B2) y = D2. (a) By using Excel program, find the values of x and y when A1 = 80, A2 = 150, B1 = 52, B2 = 100, D1 = 3.5 and D2 = 2.3. (b) Write the expression of Excel in the form of =MMULT(MINVERSE(W:X),Y:Z) in order to get the values of x and y. W, X, Y and Z may be A1, A2, B1, B2, D1 and D2.

CHEMICAL MATERIAL BALANCE – EXAMPLE 2.6 : According to Raoult's law for ideal liquid, x (PSAT) = yP where x is mole fraction of component in liquid, y is mole fraction of component in vapor, P is overall pressure and PSAT is saturation pressure. A liquid with 60 mole % component 1 and 40 mole % component 2 is flashed to 1210 kPa. The saturation pressure for component 1 is ln (PSAT) = 15 - 3010 / (T + 250) and for component 2 is ln (PSAT) = 14 - 2700 / (T + 205) where PSAT is in kPa and T is in degree Celsius. By assuming the liquid is ideal, calculate (a) the fraction of the effluent that is liquid; (b) the compositions of the liquid and vapor phases. The outlet T is 150 degree Celsius.
