I am an engineering student , undergoing training in fluid machinery .As a part of our educational curriculum we have design a simple device with fluid mechanical inclination. I have chosen to make an eductor pump for domestic use. My plan is to fabricate an eductor pump that would be capable sucking ,dirt, silt etc that gets accumulated in aquariums over time. I have chosen a high power aquarium water pump as a source for pressurising the water to flow through the eductor set up.The suction pressure developed due the flow of water between the nozzle and the venturi will be used to suck the above said materials. I know that the eductor works on the principle of venturi effect.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could give me the equations to the nozzle and venturi sizes so that i get enough suction to perform the above operation
