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

Evaluating ... ...

W = 2.223936

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.223936 Joule -->2.223936 Newton Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

2.223936 Newton Meter <-- Work

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 Reciprocating Pumps?

Work Done by Reciprocating Pumps calculator uses Work = Specific Weight*Area of Piston*Length of Stroke*Speed in RPM*(Height of Centre of Cylinder+Height to which Liquid is Raised)/60 to calculate the Work, Work Done by Reciprocating Pumps formula is defined as the total energy transferred by a reciprocating pump in a unit of time, which is a critical parameter in evaluating the performance of pumps in various industrial and engineering applications. Work is denoted by W symbol.

How to calculate Work Done by Reciprocating Pumps using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Work Done by Reciprocating Pumps, enter Specific Weight (SW), Area of Piston (A_p), Length of Stroke (L), Speed in RPM (N), Height of Centre of Cylinder (h_coc) & Height to which Liquid is Raised (h_d) and hit the calculate button.
