Calculation of Sump Dimensions:

Design Data:
Total Discharge = 18.920 m3/sec
No. of Pumps = 5
Discharge through each pump = 3.7840 m3/sec

1. Calculation of Inlet Bell Diameter :

Permissible Inlet bell Velocity (V ) = 1.3 m/sec

Q = AxV
* D2
3.7840 = x 1.30
4
Inlet Bell Diametre ( D ) = 1.93 m
or say = 1.95 m

2. Calculation of Sump Dimensions :

a. Floor Clearance = 0.5 * D
= 0.5 x 1.95
= 0.975 m

b. Side Wall Clearance = 0.33 * D to 0. 5 * D

= 0.5 x 1.95
= 0.975 m

c. Back Wall Clearance = 0.25 * D to 0.33 * D

= 0.33 x 1.95
= 0.6435 m

d.Width of Pump Bay = 2.0 * D

= 2.0 x 1.95
= 3.9 m

e. Minimum Submergence = 1.5 * D

= 1.5 x 1.95
= 2.925 m

f. Straight Length = 6.0 * D

= 6.0 x 1.95
= 11.7 m
3. Calculation of Diameter of Pressure main :
Discharge through main = 18.920 m3/sec
Permissilbe velocity = 2.43 m/sec
* D2
18.920 = x 2.43
4
Diameter of Pressure Main ( D ) = 3.15 m
or say 3.150 m

ii. Losses in Delivey pipe and column assembly

a. Delivey pipe dia. and losses
Diameter of delivery pipe (D) = 1.800 m
Area = 2.545 m2
Velocity (V) = 1.239 m/sec
Permissible Velocity = 3.650 m/sec
Hence OK
Losses due to fittings :

Total loss in delivery pipe = 0.159 m ( or ) 0.521 feets

b. Coumn assembly dia., losses and shaft dia.

Approximate HP required = 62.450 Q x H x 1.3
550.0 x

550.0 x 0.80

= 108.811 HP
i. Loss in line shaft
Dia. of line shaft = HP x 32100 0.33
7000.0 x Pump speed

= 108.811 x 32100.00 0.33

7000.000 x 740.00

= 0.878 feets

For every 100 feets of line shaft loss is 3.0 feets.

Length of line shaft = 17.925 m or 58.812 feets

Total losses in Pressure main = 14.675 m ( or ) 16.628 ft

Total pumping Head including losses = I + II + III = 72.419 m ( or ) 237.608 ft

Add 10% towards agening of pipes = 7.242 m ( or ) 23.761 ft

 Total Puming Head (H) = 79.661 m ( or ) 261.369 ft
Say 79.670 m ( or ) 261.397 ft

HGL at Pump = + 492.670 m (For SAP)

iv. Calculation of Specific Speed

Pump Speed (N) = 740.000 rpm

Specific speed (Ns) = N* Q

H 3/4

In US units = 740.0 x 49981.51

( 261.397 ) 3/4

= 2544.841

In SI units = 740.0 x 3.153 x 3.65

( 79.670 ) 3/4

= 179.862

v. Calculation of HP

HP of each Pump = * Q * H * PF
550 *
where
= Unit weight of water in lb/ft3 62.25
Q = Discharge in cusecs
H = Head in feets
PF = Power factor 1.3

HP = 62.250 x 111.351 x 261.40 x 1.30

550.0 x 0.80

= 5353.321 HP
Add 20% towards cushioning = 1070.664 HP

Total HP Required = 5353.321 + 1070.664

= 6423.985 HP
Say 6423.990 HP
= 4790.369 kW
Say 4790.370 kW
