    This document summarizes the computation of pump capacity and sizing for a system using galvanized iron pipe. It determines: 1) The required pump head is 13.81 m based on a discharge of 3 L/s through a 1 inch pipe with a roughness coefficient of 0.15 mm. 2) The required pump power is 0.54 hp based on the flow rate, head, and water properties. 3) A 1 hp pump is recommended for this system.

    Pump Capacity & Sizing Computation Therefore, the head that should be added by the

    Using galvanized iron pipe: system through water pump shall be 13.81 m.
    Roughness coefficient (e) is 0.15 mm
    Computing for water pump power;
    Using Colebrook equation:

    = −2 log ( + )
    √𝑓 3.7 𝑅𝑒√𝑓 𝑃 = (0.003)(9810)(13.81)

    Assuming discharge shall be: 3 L/s 𝑃 = 406.4283 Watts

    𝑃 = 406.4283 Watts (1 hp/746 Watts)

    Thus, Re = P = 0.54 hp

    3 Therefore, based on the computation use 1 hp water

    Re =

    Re = 76,666.41

    Solving for coefficient of friction:

    = −2 log ( 38.1 + )
    √𝑓 3.7 76,666.41√𝑓

    𝑓= 0.02969

    Using Bernoulli’s Equation:

    E1 = E2

    𝑃1 𝑣12 𝑃2 𝑣22
    + + ℎ1 + 𝐻𝐴 = + + ℎ2 + ℎ𝑓

    0 + 0 + 0 + 𝐻𝐴 = 0 + + 6.602 + ℎ𝑓
    2(9.81)
    𝐻𝐴 = 6.95 + ℎ𝑓

    𝑓𝐿𝑣 2
    Whereℎ𝑓 = ;
    2𝑔𝐷

    (0.02969)(24.984)(2.632 )
    ℎ𝑓 =

    ℎ𝑓 = 6.86 m

    Thus,

    𝐻𝐴 = 6.95 + 6.86
    𝐻𝐴 = 13.81 m
