Slip percentage Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Slip Percentage = (1-(Actual Discharge/Theoretical Discharge of Pump))*100
SP = (1-(Q_act/Q_theoretical))*100
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Slip Percentage - Slip Percentage is the difference between the actual and theoretical volume flow rates of a fluid in a pipeline or piping system.
Actual Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Actual Discharge is the quantity of fluid that actually flows through a pipe or channel, considering factors like pressure and flow rate.
Theoretical Discharge of Pump - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Theoretical Discharge of Pump is the maximum flow rate of a fluid that a pump can deliver under ideal operating conditions.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Actual Discharge: 0.037 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.037 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Theoretical Discharge of Pump: 0.056061 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.056061 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

SP = (1-(Q_act/Q_theoretical))*100 --> (1-(0.037/0.056061))*100

Evaluating ... ...

SP = 34.0004637805248

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

34.0004637805248 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

34.0004637805248 ≈ 34.00046 <-- Slip Percentage

What is Slip of a Pump?

The slip of a pump refers to the difference between the theoretical flow rate and the actual flow rate of the pump. It occurs due to leakage or backflow within the pump, where some fluid moves backward instead of being discharged. Slip can reduce the efficiency of the pump and is influenced by factors like pump design, fluid viscosity, and operating conditions. It's an important consideration in pump performance and system design.

How to Calculate Slip percentage?

Slip percentage calculator uses Slip Percentage = (1-(Actual Discharge/Theoretical Discharge of Pump))*100 to calculate the Slip Percentage, Slip percentage formula is defined as the measure of the difference between the actual and theoretical flow rates of a reciprocating pump, providing a percentage value that indicates the pump's efficiency in delivering the desired output. Slip Percentage is denoted by SP symbol.

How to calculate Slip percentage using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Slip percentage, enter Actual Discharge (Q_act) & Theoretical Discharge of Pump (Q_theoretical) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Slip percentage calculation can be explained with given input values -> 34.00046 = (1-(0.037/0.056061))*100.

FAQ
