What is Pump Work Done?
Pump Work Done refers to the amount of work a pump performs to move a fluid (e.g., water) against a specific head. It is typically measured in horsepower (H.P.) and depends on the specific weight of the fluid, the discharge rate of the pump, and the total head.
Why is Pump Work Done Important?
Calculating the work done by a pump is essential for:
- System Design: Ensuring the pump is capable of meeting the required head and flow rate.
- Energy Efficiency: Optimizing pump performance to reduce energy consumption.
- Maintenance Planning: Determining the load on the pump to schedule maintenance and prevent failures.
How to Use the Calculator
Follow these steps to calculate the work done by a pump:
- Enter Specific Weight of Water: Input the specific weight of water in kg/m³ (typically 1000 kg/m³ for water).
- Enter Discharge of Pump: Input the discharge rate of the pump in m³/s.
- Enter Total Head: Input the total head in meters (m).
- Calculate: Click "Calculate Pump Work" to see the work done in horsepower (H.P.).
