Hi, I am Narendra Shah, a student. I am doing a project on the water supply scheme of Karjat town. I wanted to calculate the efficiency of pumping station of raw water and water treatment plant. I have given the details above. Please help me.
Pumping Station
Head= 42 m
Flow = 86 litres/s
Pumps = 80 HP (three pumps of 80 HP each)
Transformer: 200 kVA
I have read that Pump Efficiency = Power water/Power input
= (Head)*(Flow)*(9.81)/Power Input/Power factor
Please let me know if I am on the right path. If yes, please tell me how to calculate power factor.
Thank You
Narendra Shah
