What You'll learn

  • Modeling of piping systems, components, fittings and valves for incompressible fluids

  • Identify and understand the basic components of a pump, performance curves, hydraulic horsepower, brake horsepower, motor power & pump efficiency

  • Develop a roadmap for proper selection of pumps via Excel Macros and model resistances in series for a piping system.

  • Understand the Darcy equation, resistance coefficient (K), friction factor (f), flow coefficient (Cv), and orifice design

  • Understand pump curves for different impeller speeds (or diameters), pump efficiency curves, pump NPSHr curves and power consumption curves

  • Understand inherent valve curves, different types of control valves and valve authority
