Pump Hydraulics And Specifications

What you'll learn
How pump curves work and get the operating point against system curve
Calculate pump available NPSH and make sure that we are avoiding pump cavitation using solved examples
Estimate pump differential head based on process needs and discharge side resistance using solved examples
Calculate pump power
Difference between the operation of a centrifugal pump and positive displacement
Pump control methods
Operation of pumps in series and in parallel
Requirements
Basics of engineering, if you are in the university and know what a pump is and what a pipe is, this will be enough
Description
Pumps have been the heart of any plant as they are the main equipment used to guarantee the required process flow or pressure. Pumps are used extensively in oil and gas, chemical and petrochemical industries to pump different fluid types at various pressures and temperatures.Without a pump or if there is a problem in the pump operation, this can cause a huge process disturbance, and in some cases, this may lead to process shutdown.Sizing the pumps and their suction and discharge systems is one of the major carried out activities in process design. This course will not just explain the theory of operation of a pump against the process. We will see live examples where we shall calculate main pump requirements with respect to the net positive suction head, differential head, and hydraulic power.This will be through excel sheets that will be provided in the course to teach you how to calculate these parameters. Calculation sheets will be available to you throughout the course.In this...
