A gear pump has a 4.25in outside diameter, a 3.25in inside diameter, and a 2in width. If the actual pump flow rate is 1800rpm and rated pressure is 29gpm, what is the volumetric efficiency?

Respuesta :

Answer:

volumetric efficeincy = 0.315%

Explanation:

Given data:

outside diameter = 4.25 inch

inside diameter = 3.25 inch

flow rate V = 1800 rpm

actual flow rate Qa = 29gpm = 6699 inch3/min

volume of pump can be determine by using below formula

[tex]VOLUME = \frac{\pi}{4}*(D_{0}^{2}-D_{1}^{2})L[/tex]

              [tex]=\frac{\pi}{4}*(4.25^{2}-3.25^{2})2[/tex]

[tex]VOLUME = 11.78 inc^{3}[/tex]

theoretical flow rate is given as Qt

[tex]Q_{T} = V.N[/tex]

         = 11.78*1800

         =[tex]21204 inch ^{3}/ min[/tex]

[tex]volumetric efficeincy = \frac{Q_{A}}{Q_{T}}[/tex]

                                   [tex]=\frac{6699}{21204}[/tex]

volumetric efficeincy = 0.315%
