the original questions asks about pump energy at different fluid temperatures. Meaning how much energy the pump has to exert when the fluid is at different temperatures. Regardless of piping, when pumping a viscous fluid at room temp as opposed to boiling, the fluid will thin and become...
when pumping things such as fuel oils it is worth considering. Number 4 oil could require about 60% less hp to be pumped at 150 deg f as opposed to 50 deg f. Just wondering if anyone had any othe input on this.
Hello,
I am trying to figure out the relationship between temperature of the pumped fluid and the amount of power the pump uses. I know that when the temperature is lower the kin vicosity will be higher which will make pumping harder, but is there any sort of table that shows this or formula i...
