  2. Euler's pump and turbine equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_pump_and_turbine...

    These equations govern the power, efficiencies and other factors that contribute to the design of turbomachines. With the help of these equations the head developed by a pump and the head utilised by a turbine can be easily determined. As the name suggests these equations were formulated by Leonhard Euler in the eighteenth century. [1]

  3. Specific speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_speed

    The following equation gives a dimensionless specific speed: = / where: is specific speed (dimensionless) is pump rotational speed (rad/sec) is flowrate (m 3 /s) at the point of best efficiency is total head (m) per stage at the point of best efficiency. Note that the units used affect the specific speed value in the above equation and ...

  4. Specific pump power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_pump_power

    Specific Pump Power (SPP) is a metric in fluid dynamics that quantifies the energy-efficiency of pump systems. It is a measure of the electric power that is needed to operate a pump (or collection of pumps), relative to the volume flow rate. It is not constant for a given pump, but changes with both flow rate and pump pressure.

  5. Total dynamic head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_dynamic_head

    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.

  6. Affinity laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affinity_laws

    The affinity laws (also known as the "Fan Laws" or "Pump Laws") for pumps/fans are used in hydraulics, hydronics and/or HVAC to express the relationship between variables involved in pump or fan performance (such as head, volumetric flow rate, shaft speed) and power. They apply to pumps, fans, and hydraulic turbines. In these rotary implements ...

  7. Rankine cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine_cycle

    In an ideal Rankine cycle the pump and turbine would be isentropic: i.e., the pump and turbine would generate no entropy and would hence maximize the net work output. Processes 1–2 and 3–4 would be represented by vertical lines on the T–s diagram and more closely resemble that of the Carnot cycle .

  8. Turbomachinery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbomachinery

    Pumps - Pumps are another very popular turbomachine. Although there are very many different types of pumps, they all do the same thing. Pumps are used to move fluids around using some sort of mechanical power, from electric motors to full size diesel engines. Pumps have thousands of uses, and are the true basis to turbomachinery (Škorpík, 2017).

  9. Water turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_turbine

    This allows a new turbine design to be scaled from an existing design of known performance. The specific speed is also the main criteria for matching a specific hydro site with the correct turbine type. The specific speed is the speed with which the turbine turns for a particular discharge Q, with unit head and thereby is able to produce unit ...
