  Determination of Maximum Allowable Pump Speed for Transferring Fluid to a Vertical Height at Constant Power

  By Bashar Dan-asabe, S. A. Yaro, D. S. Yawas, S. Y. Aku

  Abstract: This work determines the maximum possible velocity fluids can be transported through a vertical height at constant pump power. The analysis involves simulation of theoretical piping equations and analysis of the pump pressure, frictional pressure drop and static (atmospheric) pressure with respect to flow velocity using MS excel and Matlab. Computational results obtained from MS excel and represented graphically in Matlab establish the maximum allowable velocity – below which the …
