In a hydraulic circuit, net positive suction head (NPSH) may refer to one of two quantities in the analysis of cavitation: The Available NPSH (NPSH A): a measure of how close the fluid at a given point is to flashing, and so to cavitation. Technically it is the absolute pressure head minus the vapour pressure of the liquid.
Liquid fuel tanks can be constructed lighter if the pressure within those tanks is kept low. Typically, for pump-fed rocket engines, the propellant tank pressures (and masses) are 1/10 to 1/40 of those in a pressure-fed rocket. [3] The structural weight constraint also makes the rotating speed of the turbopump rotor as high as possible.
CITHP – closed-in tubing head pressure (tubing head pressure when the well is shut in) CIV – chemical injection valve; CK – choke (a restriction in a flowline or a system, usually referring to a production choke during a test or the choke in the well control system) CL – core log; CLG – core log and graph; CM – choke module
A boiler feedwater pump is a specific type of pump used to pump feedwater into a steam boiler.The water may be freshly supplied or returning condensate produced as a result of the condensation of the steam produced by the boiler.
This pump type operates without a foot valve and without an evacuation device on the suction side. The pump has to be primed with the fluid to be handled prior to commissioning. Two-phase mixture is pumped until the suction line has been evacuated and the fluid level has been pushed into the front suction intake chamber by atmospheric pressure.
Diagram symbols for pressure reduction and back pressure regulators. The conceptual difference is mainly in which side the feedback is taken from. A pressure regulator is a valve that controls the pressure of a fluid to a desired value, using negative feedback from the controlled pressure. Regulators are used for gases and liquids, and can be ...
In fluid dynamics, total dynamic head (TDH) is the work to be done by a pump, per unit weight, per unit volume of fluid.TDH is the total amount of system pressure, measured in feet, where water can flow through a system before gravity takes over, and is essential for pump specification.
In the event of an excessive pressure decrease, in some parts of the rotor, the pressure can be lower than the saturation pressure corresponding to the temperature of the pumped liquid, causing the so-called cavitation, i.e. liquid evaporation. To prevent this, the pressure in the suction port (at the inlet of the pump) should be higher than ...
