Work Done by Double Acting Reciprocating Pump Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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)
W = 2*SW*A_p*L*(N/60)*(h_coc+h_d)
This formula uses 7 Variables

Variables Used

Work - (Measured in Joule) - Work is done when a force that is applied to an object moves that object.
Specific Weight - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Specific Weight the ratio of a body’s weight P to its volume V.
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.

Height of Centre of Cylinder - (Measured in Meter) - Height of centre of cylinder in meters.
Height to which Liquid is Raised - (Measured in Meter) - Height to which liquid is raised in meters.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Specific Weight: 1.2 Newton per Cubic Meter --> 1.2 Newton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
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
Height of Centre of Cylinder: 1.45 Meter --> 1.45 Meter No Conversion Required
Height to which Liquid is Raised: 2.6 Meter --> 2.6 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W = 2*SW*A_p*L*(N/60)*(h_coc+h_d) --> 2*1.2*0.312*0.88*(100/60)*(1.45+2.6)

Evaluating ... ...

W = 4.447872

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.447872 Joule -->4.447872 Newton Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

4.447872 Newton Meter <-- Work

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

Work Done by Double Acting Reciprocating Pump Formula

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)
W = 2*SW*A_p*L*(N/60)*(h_coc+h_d)

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 Work Done by Double Acting Reciprocating Pump?

Work Done by Double Acting Reciprocating Pump calculator uses 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) to calculate the Work, Work Done by Double Acting Reciprocating Pump formula is defined as the total energy transferred by the pump in moving fluid against pressure, considering the swept volume, piston area, length of stroke, speed, and head losses, providing a comprehensive measure of the pump's performance in reciprocating pump systems. Work is denoted by W symbol.
