Volumetric Flow for Centrifugal Pump

You can't. You need to know something about the discharge head. The volume depends widely on it.

Quite. The pump operates where the pump characteristic curve and the system characteristic curve intersect.

The only information I have is that the medium is compressed in the chamber ( between rotor and stator) with pressure up to 10 bar.

Try and enter the name and model number of the pump into google. If you are lucky you may get a selection table or even a pump curve.

With this info you will have a rough indication of the capacity.

Yes. The pump curve would be nice to have. But if you get it, then you will need TDH. Sort of a Catch 22!

True but it is at least something to work with.

He has the rpm, impeller diam, and the head of 10 bar. That may be enough to get a good indication.

Hi gerdsmit

A bit more info will be helpful.

Where are you from?

Do you have a make and model no?

If not what about a photo? or what is the colour?

Is the pump on its own or in a system?

What do you intend to do with the pump?

Will the pump make a good doorstop?

Hi Hendrick,

I'm from Fla. USA. It is still a design of a reactor that pretends to work like a centrifugal pump. Centrifugal force will force he fluid to move through small holes in an outer stator. Tangential velocity will be around 40/50 m/s. According to Bernouilli's law the fluid will eprience a pressure drop due to increase of speed. To manage the pressure drop I need an approximation of the flow.

This is called modelling. You want to simulate results of something using something else.

So the problem remains. The "simulator" or "model" or "analog" cannot predict results without having the basic parameters for the device that you are attempting to "model".

One solution is to create model "sets" for specific solution "range of values". Work out the characteristics for each "set". Then pick the set that is most appropriate for the actual device for further study or prototyping.

Sort of a trial and error approach.

Hi gerdsmit

I won't be of much further help.

Just out of curiosity

Are you doing a scale model? and do you have to apply scaling rules for flow and time similar to hydraulic models for dams?
