New cards

Flow rate (Q)

the volume of fluid passing through a section per unit time.

3
New cards

Volumetric Flow Rate (Q)

volume per time.

4

Viscous Horsepower (VHP)

the power required to turn the rotors, gears, etc. inside the viscous fluid. It is required to determine the pump design and speed and is supplied by the pump manufacturer.

Friction Loss

The amount of pressure / head required to 'force' liquid through pipe and fittings.

Frictional Head

Is usually expressed by the following equation based upon upon the number of 100-ft lengths of pipe in the system:
