Hydrodynamic pump

• Used in situation that required for high


volume and low pressure flow applications.
• This type of pump incapable to withstand
high pressure fluids.
• Normally the maximum pressure capacity is
limited to 250-300 psi.
• Normally used to transport the fluids from
one point to different points.
• E.g. – Centrifugal pump
–Axial pump
Centrifugal and Axial Pump

Positive Displacement Pump

• Expel a fixed fluid volume to the system for


each of revolution.
• Capable of overcoming the pressure from
mechanical loads and friction.
• Advantages:
– Can be used for high pressure application up to
12000 psi.
– Compact and small size
– The volumetric efficiency is high
– Flexible pressure and speed, depend on the
requirements.

Gear pump
Gear pump always produce fixed
volume displacement. For this
pump, the volumetric
displacement can be calculated

Ideal Pump Analysis

• Assuming an ideal pump, without internal


leakage, friction and also pressure losses.
The pump flow rate can be calculated as
follow:
• the input mechanical power is equal to the
increase in the fluid power

Power, N
=
Real Pump Analysis

• The effect of leakage is expressed by the


volumetric efficiency, ηv, defined as follows

– Q - actual pump flow rate


– Qt - theoretical flow rate
• ηv indicates amount of leakage that takes
place in the pump
Real Pump Analysis

• Mechanical efficiency (ηm): Energy losses


because of other factors than leakage.

ηm = pQt/ωTA ω = 2πN / 60

where p : pump output pressure [Pa]


Qt: pump theoretical flowrate [m3/s]
TA : actual torque [Nm]
ω : radial pump speed [rad/s]
Pump Efficiency (Mechanical)
• Or
ηm = TT/TA

where
TT [Nm] = (V [m3] × P [Pa])/2π
TA = (actual power delivered to pump [W])/
(2πN/60 [rpm])
• ηm ≤ 1.0, therefore TT ≤ TA
• YES!!! Theoretical torque is smaller than
actual torque.
• Why?
– Theoretical torque is based from calculation.
Did not consider the resistance force
– Actual torque = Theoretical torque +
Resistance force during rotation
Total/overall efficiency

Total efficiency = volumetric efficiency x


mechanical efficiency
ηtot = ηvol × ηm

QT: Fixed based on calculation


QA: Fixed based on actual
Torque

• Pump torque is calculated as force (F) time the


distance from the force to the pivoted point (d).
T=F x d
• Pump torque can also be calculated as the
relation of pressure and pump delivery.
