SAMPLE CALCULATION

(Taking the data No. 3 of TEST 2 as an example, N = 2296 rpm)

Calculation for INPUT POWER

 To find the shaft power
Convert pump speed, N (rpm) into angular speed, 𝜔 (rad/s):
* 1𝑟𝑒𝑣 = 2𝜋 𝑟𝑎𝑑, 1𝑚𝑖𝑛 = 60𝑠𝑒𝑐
𝑟𝑒𝑣 1𝑚𝑖𝑛 2𝜋 𝑟𝑎𝑑
𝜔 = 2296 × ×
𝑚𝑖𝑛 60𝑠𝑒𝑐 1𝑟𝑒𝑣
= 240.437 rad/s

Apply shaft power, W, formula:

* 𝑊 = 𝑇𝜔
W = 2.4(240.437)
= 0.577 kW

Convert unit of shaft power from kW to hp:

* 1 kW = 1.341 hp
W = 0.577 x 1.341
= 0.769 hp
Calculation for OUTPUT POWER
 To find the volume flow rate (Q) using graph 90˚ VEE NOTCH CALIBRATION where
water height against volume flow rate
Change L/min into 𝑚3/𝑠:
* 1 L/min = 1.667 × 10-5𝑚3/𝑠
Q = 132 x 1.667 × 10-5𝑚3/𝑠
= 2.200 x 10-3 m3/s

 To find inlet pressure, P1 and Discharge pressure, P2

Convert unit of inlet pressure, 𝑃1 from m𝐻2O into N/𝑚2:
* 1 m𝐻2O = 9806.65 N/𝑚2
-0.3 m𝐻2O, -0.3 × 9806.65 N/𝑚2 = -0.294×104 N/𝑚2
Convert unit of discharge pressure, 𝑃2 from psi to N/𝑚2:
* 1 psi = 6894.757 N/𝑚2
17 psi, 17 × 6894.757 N/𝑚2 = 1.172×105 N/𝑚2

 To find the water head, ℎ𝑝 (m)

ℎ𝑝 = (𝑃2-𝑃1) / 𝜌𝑔
= [1.172×105 N/𝑚2 – (-0.294×104 N/𝑚2) / (1000 𝑘𝑔/𝑚3 x 9.81𝑚/𝑠2)
= 12.247 m

 To find output power, Watt

𝑃𝑓 = 𝜌𝑔𝑄ℎ𝑝
= (1000 𝑘𝑔/𝑚3) (9.81𝑚/𝑠2) (2.200 X 10-3 𝑚3/𝑠) (12.247 𝑚)
= 264.315 W

Calculation for EFFICIENCY, η

η = (𝑃𝑓/ 𝑊̇𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑓𝑡) x 100%
= (264.315 W/ 0.577 𝑘𝑊) x 100%
= 45.81%
