CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW

Shuaibu Ndache MOHAMMED: Hydraulic Ram Pump
The Design of a Hydraulic Ram Pump is studied. It is meant to uplift the water from a depth of 2m under the surface with no other energy source needed. Based on the design the volume flow rate in the derived pipe was 4.4237 × 10-5 m3 /s (2.76l/min), Power 1.383 kW which gives us an efficiency of 56.3%. Costs of fabrication of this hydraulic ram show that the pump is relatively cheaper compared to other pumps. . The present study is focused on the development of a hydraulic ram pump that can properly alleviate the problem of water supply to the mass. Ideally, different combinations of the supply and delivery heads and flows, stroke …show more content…

It depends upon the number of impellers applied in the pump. Single stage pump consists of only single impeller while in multistage pumps the impellers are mounted in a series in pumps. These Centrifugal pumps can be analyzed by software code like Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).This CFD tool or code helps to optimize the pump performance. The complex internal flows are to be predicted with the CFD code. The optimized pumps are used for various uses like drainage and consumable water system, chemical Industries- Catalyst transfer, acid transfer and neutralizing, waste water/Chemicals- Industrial effluents, purifying water, in process industries- paper pulp, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals etc. The Hydraulic design of the impeller can be upgraded by means of trial and error or by means of altering the input design of impeller. From the CFD results mechanical behavior of impeller parts with various parameters like velocity contours can be predicted and the next design will be …show more content…

Component options-valve design and when they should be used, point’s difference between plungers and piston rods and their selection criteria. Volumetric and mechanical efficiency, net head available and required plus piping required for suction and discharge. Basic principles of positive displacement reciprocating pumps. Reciprocating pump has wide applications in many industries, cautiously selecting equipment with the right configuration of options is essential in providing and operating the machine. The pump and system interaction is an important part of reliable operation. The pump cannot be viewed alone., how it interacts with system also cause poor operating life and premature

    I was born into a heavy construction working family. I started out in the playpen or stroller in the shop watching my dad working on trucks and equipment. If he left the house I would throw a big fit if I wasn't able to go with him, so I am told by my parents. As I grew older I would give him tools as he needed them. Finally when I was in my later elementary years I started changing oil in our vehicles, as well as greasing and simple maintenance.

    The progressive era in the United States helped to spawn one of the first great conservative movements in the country. The conservative movement occurred as a result of the troubling theory that the fast paced urban development and industrial growth of the nation would lead to the extinction of wilderness areas in the United States. One of the most significant events during the era was that of the debate over the construction of the O 'Shaughnessy Dam in the Hetch Hetchy Valley located in California’s Yosemite National Park. After an earthquake crippled the city of San Francisco in the early 1900’s, the residents of the city recognized that they would require better-equipped ways to make certain that they had a steady supply of electricity and

    The pumps that the Wilkerson company produces are the “bread and butter” of this company. These products are produced at a high rate with a high price competition. As stated earlier, due to the severe price cutting by the competitors, the pre- tax margin of the company dropped extremely low to 3% percent and gross margin to 19.5%. Another product that the company produces are valves. The valves have remained steady around its planned gross margin of 35% with actual of 34.9%; these products are sold and shipped in huge bulk.

    The user controls the pulsation frequency $f_p$, through the motor speed $\omega_m$, and the mean pressure $p_M$, through the pressure regulator in the inlet line. The pressure amplitude $p_A$, on the other hand, depends on the facility line-cavity behavior. As shown in Fig.\ref{fig:2b}, the relative pressure amplitude $\hat{p}_A= p_A/p_M$ decreases when increasing mean pressure and the pulsation frequency, though asymptotically approaching a constant

    Osmosis Lab Report Research Question: How does the change in the concentration of a sucrose solution affect the process of osmosis in a potato cell by measuring its mass? Background information: 1 Osmosis is the process by which a liquid passes through a semi-permeable membrane, moving from an area with a high concentration of water to a low concentration of water. There are various factors that affect osmosis such as: concentration, surface area and temperature. The concentration of solutions can affect the rate of osmosis, as there is more difference in the concentration of the solutions, which means osmosis, will take place quicker. Surface area could affect osmosis based on the ease by which molecules can get through the semi-permeable

    Nonetheless, competitors of Wilkerson overlooked the opportunity to make profit for themselves in flow controllers, due to the fact that Wilkerson has increased the product price by 10% without losing any business. President of the Wilkerson Company was discussing the business’s operating results with his financial controller and manufacturing manager. Reason for this meeting was because; competitors were now reducing the price of their pumps, posing a threat to Wilkerson’s major product line. Since pumps where a commodity product for Wilkerson, they had no other choice but to match the competitors price in order to maintain volume. Unfortunately, Wilkerson’s price cuts led to a decline in their company profits, especially in the pump line.
