No at pump pressure head is 400ft, i got 378ft after deductng head loss from head developed 400ft.
My mentor travels alot so he instructed me to conduct this project by researching, its quite challenging but very interesting.
Thank you very much Artisi,
He gave me some codes: Risk Class C -flow rate 1585 gpm, minimum running pressure at hydrants shall be 200 ft. After calculating pressure drop (head loss) i managed to have desired head of 378 ft at hydrants.
I had an idea, what about installing a single stage VTB with a head of 32ft to pump...
I am an engineering protégé at one consulting company, my mentor gave a project to design a vertical turbine pump for a fire fighting system. I have desired requirements, capacity 1585 gpm and a pressure head 400 ft, according to VTP performance CURVES:
1. I chose pump performance curve that...
