Discharge of Reciprocating Pump Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Discharge = Area of Piston*Length of Stroke*Speed in RPM/60
Q = A_p*L*N/60
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Area of Piston - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of piston is the value of area of the piston in a piston pump.
Length of Stroke - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Stroke is the range of movement of piston.
Speed in RPM - Speed in RPM is the number of turns of the object divided by time, specified as revolutions per minute (rpm).

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Area of Piston: 0.312 Square Meter --> 0.312 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Length of Stroke: 0.88 Meter --> 0.88 Meter No Conversion Required
Speed in RPM: 100 --> No Conversion Required

Work Done by Double-acting Pump considering all Head Losses

Go Work = (2*Specific Weight*Area of Cylinder*Length of Stroke*Speed in RPM/60)*(Suction Head+Delivery Head+(2*Head Loss due to Friction in Delivery Pipe)/3+(2*Head Loss due to Friction in Suction Pipe)/3)

Work Done by Double Acting Reciprocating Pump

Go Work = 2*Specific Weight*Area of Piston*Length of Stroke*(Speed in RPM/60)*(Height of Centre of Cylinder+Height to which Liquid is Raised)

Discharge of Double Acting Reciprocating Pump

Go Discharge = pi/4*Length of Stroke*(2*Piston Diameter^2-Diameter of Piston Rod^2)*Speed in RPM/60

Discharge of Double Acting Reciprocating Pump neglecting Diameter of Piston Rod

Go Discharge = 2*Area of Piston*Length of Stroke*Speed in RPM/60

Discharge of Reciprocating Pump Formula

Discharge = Area of Piston*Length of Stroke*Speed in RPM/60
Q = A_p*L*N/60

What are reciprocating pumps?

The reciprocating pump is a positive displacement pump as it sucks and raises the liquid by actually displacing it with a piston/plunger that executes a reciprocating motion in a closely fitting cylinder. The amount of liquid pumped is equal to the volume displaced by the piston.

How to Calculate Discharge of Reciprocating Pump?

Discharge of Reciprocating Pump calculator uses Discharge = Area of Piston*Length of Stroke*Speed in RPM/60 to calculate the Discharge, Discharge of Reciprocating Pump formula is defined as the volumetric flow rate of a liquid being pumped by a reciprocating pump, which is a critical parameter in evaluating the performance of the pump in various industrial and engineering applications. Discharge is denoted by Q symbol.
