  2. Thermodynamic pump testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_pump_testing

    Thermodynamic pump testing is a form of pump testing where only the temperature rise, power consumed, and differential pressure need to be measured to find the efficiency of a pump. These measurements are typically made with insertion temperature probes and pressure probes fitted to tapping points on the pump's inlet and outlet. [ 1 ]

  3. Pumped-storage hydroelectricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage...

    Note: The power-generating capacity in megawatts is the usual measure for power station size and reflects the maximum instantaneous output power. The energy storage in gigawatt-hours (GWh) is the capacity to store energy, determined by the size of the upper reservoir, the elevation difference, and the generation efficiency.

  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. Utilization factor - Wikipedia

    The motor load factor is then 12/15 = 80%. The motor above may only be used for eight hours a day, 50 weeks a year. The hours of operation would then be 2800 hours, and the motor use factor for a base of 8760 hours per year would be 2800/8760 = 31.96%. With a base of 2800 hours per year, the motor use factor would be 100%.

  6. List of pumped-storage hydroelectric power stations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pumped-storage...

    The following page lists all pumped-storage hydroelectric power stations that are larger than 1,000 MW in installed generating capacity, which are currently operational or under construction. Those power stations that are smaller than 1,000 MW , and those that are decommissioned or only at a planning/proposal stage may be found in regional ...

  7. Concrete pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_pump

    A concrete pump is a machine used for transferring liquid concrete by pumping. There are different types of concrete pumps. A common type of concrete pump for large scale construction projects is known as a boom concrete pump, because it uses a remote-controlled articulating robotic arm (called a boom) to place concrete accurately. It is ...

  8. 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 ...

  9. Hydraulic pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_pump

    A hydraulic pump is a mechanical source of power that converts mechanical power into hydraulic energy (hydrostatic energy i.e. flow, pressure). Hydraulic pumps are used in hydraulic drive systems and can be hydrostatic or hydrodynamic. They generate flow with enough power to overcome pressure induced by a load at the pump outlet.
