Online calculation of centrifugal pump power

 How do you calculate the Hydraulic power, shaft power and motor power of a centrifugal pumps?

Inputs needed:

• Pump flow
• Pump suction lift and discharge head
• Fluid density
• Acceleration due to gravity
• Pump efficiency
• Motor efficiency

Hydraulic power, 

Is also called useful power or water horsepower, is the actual power imparted to the fluid by the pump. It depends on three primary parameters:

• Flow rate (Q) in m³/s

• Total head (H) in meters

• Fluid density (ρ) in kg/m³

• Acceleration due to gravity (g = 9.81 m/s²)

Phyd​=ρ×g×Q×H

Shaft Power: Is calculated as;

Pshaft​=Phyd / ηp (Pump efficiency)​​​

Motor Input Power (Electrical Power Consumption)

Pmotor​=Pshaft / ηm (Motor efficiency)

Online ESP efficiency calculator

 

Flue gas flow in ESP, Q = 61920 m3/hr / 3600 = 17.2 m3/sec

Total collecting area A= 131.9 X 17.2 =2268.68 m2

Migration velocity of dust particles, V = 5.46/100 = 0.0546 m/sec

Efficiency of ESP = 1–eˆ (-AV/Q) X 100

                            = 1– eˆ (-2268.68 X 0.0546/17.2) X 100

Online APH efficiency calculator

 

The efficiency of the APH are calculated from two ways one is from air side other from gas side.

APH gas side efficiency

ηAPHg = (Flue gas inlet temp.Tfi-Flue gas outlet temp.Tfo) X 100 / (Flue gas inlet temperature tfi-Air inlet temperature Tai)

APH air side efficiency

ηAPHa = (Air outlet temp.Tao-Air inlet temp.Tao)) X 100 / (Flue gas inlet temperature tfi-Air inlet temperature Tai)

 

Calculate the APH gas side & air efficiency if its flue gas inlet and out let temperature are 245 deg C and 155 deg C and air inlet and out let temperatures are 32 deg C & 173 deg C respectively.

APH Gas side efficiency calculation

ηAPHg = (Flue gas inlet temp.Tfi-Flue gas outlet temp.Tfo) X 100 / (Flue gas inlet temperature tfi-Air inlet temperature Tai)

 ηAPHg =(245-155) X 100 / (245-32)

ηAPHg = 42.25%

APH Air side efficiency calculation

ηAPHa = (Air outlet temp.Tao-Air inlet temp.Tao)) X 100 / (Flue gas inlet temperature tfi-Air inlet temperature Tai)

 ηAPHa = (173-32) X 100 / (245-32)

ηAPHa = 66.19%

Online economiser efficiency calculator

 

Economiser efficiency is calculated as below.

ηEco. = (Economiser outlet feed water temperature Two-Economiser inlet feed water temperature Twi)  X 100 / (Economiser inlet flue gas temperature Tfi- Economiser inlet feed water temperature Twi)

Example:

Calculate the economiser effectiveness, whose feed water inlet & outlet temperatures are 150 Deg C & 220 Deg C respectively & flue gas inlet & outlet temperatures 385 deg C & 215 deg c respectively.

 Solution:

 Twi = 150 deg C

Two = 220 deg C

Tfi = 385 deg C

Tfo = 215 deg C

ηEco = (Two-Twi) X 100 / (Tfi-Twi)

ηEco = (220-150 ) X 100 / (385-150)

ηEco= 29.78%

Desuper heating water flow online calculator

 

What is Desuperheating?

Desuperheating (or attemperation) is the process of reducing the temperature of super heated steam by injecting water. The injected water absorbs heat from the steam and evaporates completely, bringing the steam temperature closer to saturation or the specified outlet temperature.

Typical applications:

• Boiler outlet temperature control

• Turbine inlet temperature control

• HRSG and WHRB steam temperature regulation

• Process steam conditioning

Parameters Required for Calculating Desuperheating Water Flow

To determine the required spray water quantity, you need:

Steam Input Conditions

• Inlet steam pressure (P₁)

• Inlet steam temperature (T₁)

Steam Output Requirements

• Outlet steam pressure (P₂)

• Outlet steam temperature (T₂)

Water Conditions

• Desuperheating water temperature (Tᵥ)
