Design & SizingPregunta 21 de 110
A booster pump must deliver 40 gpm and raise pressure by 45 psi. Using approximate water horsepower WHP = (gpm x psi) / 1,714, what is the water horsepower required (before pump efficiency)?
a.1.05 hp
b.0.5 hp
c.2.1 hp
d.4.2 hp
Explicación
WHP = (40 x 45) / 1,714 = 1,800 / 1,714 = 1.05 hp. This is the ideal hydraulic power; the actual motor must be larger to account for pump efficiency, often around 60 to 70 percent. Dividing the delivered fluid power by efficiency gives the brake horsepower to specify.
