The origin pump station at Harvard on a 50 mile pipeline consists of two pumps in series, each developing 1450 ft of head at 3000 bbl/hr. January 27, 2022 Read More »
If a VSD pump is used in Problem 8.5.1 above, determine the speed at which the pump should be run to maintain the flow rate of 3000 bbl/hr. The rated pump speed is 3560 RPM. January 27, 2022 Read More »
A water pipeline consists of three pump stations, each having one constant-speed motor-driven pump of 2000 HP. The analysis of current operations shows that the pipeline has been operating at a fairly constant flow rate of 3000 gal/min, and the pump throttle pressures are as follows: January 27, 2022 Read More »
