Total dynamic head

Total Dynamic Head The total dynamic head H of a pump is the total discharge head minus the total suction head h,. 

When arriving at the performance of a pump, it is customary to calculate its power output, which is the product of (1) the total dynamic head and (2) the mass of liquid pumped in a given time. In SI units power is expressed in kilowatts horsepower is the conventional unit used in the United States. 

When the total dynamic head H is expressed in pascals, then... 

Whereas the total dynamic head developed by a centrifugal, mixed-flow, or axial-flow pump is uniquely determined for any given flow by the speed at whicdi it rotates, positive-displacement pumps and those which approach positive displacement will ideally produce whatever head is impressed upon them by the system restrictions to flow. Actually with slippage neglecTed, the maximum head attainable is determined by the power available in the drive and the strength of the pump parts. An automatic relief valve set to open at a safe pressure... 

The Total Dynamic Head (TDH) of each and every pumping system is composed of up to four heads or pressures. Not all systems contain all four heads. Some contain less than four. They are ... 

The sum of these four heads is called the total dynamic head, TDH. 

The goal is to apply the formulas, the K values, and the pipe and connections friction values to determine the Hf and Hv, plus the Hs and Hp, and then the TDH, total dynamic head in the system. Then we can specify a pump for this application. 

Total Head the pressure available at the discharge of a pump as a result of the change of mechanical input energy into kinetic and potential energy. This represents the total energy given to the liquid by the pump. Head, previously known as total dynamic head, is expressed as feet of fluid being pumped.

When selecting pumps for any service, it is necessary to know the liquid to be handled, the total dynamic head, the suction and discharge heads, and, in most cases, the temperature, viscosity, vapor pressure, and specific gravity. In the chemical industry, the task of pump selection is frequently further complicated by the presence of... 

The horizontal pumps are available for capacities up to 900 m /h (4000 gahmin) the vertical in-line pumps, for capacities up to 320 m /h (1400 gahmin). Both horizontal and vertical in-line pumps are available for heads up to 120 m (400 ft). The intent of each ANSI specification is that pumps from all vendors for a given nominal capacity and total dynamic head at a given rotative speed shall be dimensionally interchangeable with respect to mounting, size, and location of suction and discharge nozzles, input shaft, base plate, and foundation bolts. 

The literature has used two names for this subject total dynamic head or total developed head (H or TDH). Let us derive TDH first by considering the system connected in parallel between points 1 and 2. Since the connection is parallel, the head losses across each of the pumps are equal and the head given to the fluid in each of the pumps are also equal. Thus, for our analysis, let us choose any pump such as the one with inlet g. From fluid mechanics, the energy equation between the points is... 

Example 4.1 It is desired to pump a wastewater to an elevation of 30 m above a sump. Friction losses and velocity at the discharge side of the pump system are estimated to be 20 m and 1.30 m/s, respectively. The operating drive is to be 1200 rpm. Suction friction loss is 1.03 m the diameter of the suction and discharge lines are 250 and 225 mm, respectively. The vertical distance from the sump pool level to the pump centerline is 2 m. (a) If the temperature is 20°C, has cavitation occurred (b) What are the inlet and outlet manometric heads (c) What are the inlet and outlet total dynamic heads From the values of the idh and odh, calculate TDH.
