Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics in ME
The efficiency of a hydraulic press is given by (where W = Weight lifted by ram, P = Force applied on plunger, A = Area of ram, and a = Area of plunger)
Energy per kN at outlet of impeller Energy per kN at inlet of impeller
All of these
Work-done per kN of water Losses within the impeller
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
