Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics in ME
The celerity (velocity) of a pressure wave in a fluid is given by (where K = Bulk modulus, and ρ = Density of the fluid)
Suction lift + Loss of head in suction pipe due to friction + Delivery lift + Loss of head in delivery pipe due to friction + Velocity head in the delivery pipe
Work-done per kN of water Losses within the impeller
Energy per kN at outlet of impeller Energy per kN at inlet of impeller
