This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Rankine's Efficiency - Rankine's Efficiency is the measure of the efficiency of a hydraulic ram, which is a device that uses the energy of flowing water to pump water to a higher elevation.
Discharge from Valve Box - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge from Valve Box is the rate of flow of fluid from a valve box, typically measured in liters per second, in a hydraulic ram system.
Height of Water in Delivery Tank - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Water in Delivery Tank is the vertical distance of water from the bottom of the tank in a hydraulic ram system.
Height of Water in Supply tank - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Water in Supply tank is the vertical distance of water level in the supply tank of a hydraulic ram system.
Discharge from Supply Tank - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge from Supply Tank is the rate of flow of fluid from the supply tank to the hydraulic ram system during its operation.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge from Valve Box: 0.0022 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.0022 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Height of Water in Delivery Tank: 21.5 Meter --> 21.5 Meter No Conversion Required
Height of Water in Supply tank: 3.3 Meter --> 3.3 Meter No Conversion Required
Discharge from Supply Tank: 0.023 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.023 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

η_r = (q*(H-h))/(h*(Q-q)) --> (0.0022*(21.5-3.3))/(3.3*(0.023-0.0022))

Evaluating ... ...

η_r = 0.583333333333333

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.583333333333333 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.583333333333333 ≈ 0.583333 <-- Rankine's Efficiency

What is Rankine's Efficiency of Hydraulic Ram?

Rankine's efficiency of a hydraulic ram is the ratio of the useful water output (the volume of water pumped to a higher elevation) to the total water input (the volume of water flowing from the source). It measures how effectively the hydraulic ram converts the kinetic energy of the flowing water into useful work for pumping. Rankine's efficiency typically ranges from 50% to 70%, as some water is always "wasted" to generate the necessary pressure for the pumping action. Higher Rankine efficiency can be achieved by optimizing the height ratio between the supply head and the delivery head.

How to Calculate Rankine's Efficiency of Hydraulic Ram?
