Moment of inertia definitions

Moment of inertia definitions

Moment of inertia definitions

(OP)
Hi All,

I have a curious matter where a pump agent has quoted two inertias for a DIN 150 40 pump. The values are exclusive of motor MoI. Both descriptions could not be clarified by them or other pump manufacturers. In 40 odd years in the business I have not come across them so have turned to the experts.

1) Mass MoI (PD2) 1.931 kg-m2
2) Mass Dynamic MoI 0.0452 kg-m2

The value in 1) appears to be too high for the pump. What is PD2? How does this relate to wr^2?

In 2) what is the Dynamic MoI?

In the past I have used pump inertia calculations based on estimates using relationships in Wylie, et al., pp. 148-149.Wylie, E.B., V.L. Streeter & L. Suo, Fluid Transients in Systems Prentice Hall, Englewood Hills, New Jersey, 1993.

For this size of pump a value of wr^2 is about 0.8kg-m^2.        


 

RE: Moment of inertia definitions

It may be some confusion between MOI and DMOI??

If not that, it might be referring to an equivalent DMOI when running constantly vs when accelerating???

RE: Moment of inertia definitions

PD2 could stand for M*D^2 .

M is the mass of the body, in Italian not unusual to see it as P, peso = weight, and D is the distance between an axis the MoI is computed and a parallel axis trough the centre of mass of the body (check Huygens –Steiner theorem)

RE: Moment of inertia definitions

I've seen some manufacturer give the MMOI calculated using the "diameter" instead of the "radius", which gives 4 times higher value.
