By gph I suppose you mean gallons per hour. Pumps are made with different discharge characteristics, you should have with the pump a graph showing the discharge head or pressure against flow rate. If you only have pressure quoted, 1 bar = 14.5 psi = 30 ft head of water (roughly), so 1 psi = 2 ft water head.

If you don't have the characteristic graph you will have to go back to the makers for it

How do you Prime a well water system?

If you are using a jet pump you must have a good foot valve, then remove the prime nut or gauge from the top of the pump and fill the pump and pipe with water. You may have to do this a number of times to get all the air out of the system.


Does water have a fixed volume?

Yes it does. We know this because if you have a pump that is filled to the brim with water and try to pump, you will be incapable of doing so.

How To Know When A Sump Pump Will Help Dry Out Your Basement?

In homes across the country a damp basement is a fact of life many people live with. However, flowing water in any setting is problem that generally needs to be addressed at some point in time. While it is typical for basements and foundations to take on water during heavy rainfalls, a sump pump can prevent the water from entering through walls or even through the floor. The sump is generally a small pit that is deeper than the basement floor and operates on the premise that water seeks the lowest level. Once the sump fills up, a sump pump is used to transfer the rainwater from the basement to another area outside the confines of the house. Since the water being disposed of is usually storm run off, it can be pumped into yards or other areas without fear of contamination. However, local building codes should be consulted for any distance or draining regulations. A sump pump is rated by horsepower. Of course, a higher horsepower dictates a more powerful pump. Home owners need to make an observation on the flow of water into the sump during the heaviest flow times. The pump should be able to clear the sump before the water overflows in the basement area. Many sump pumps are submersible and are placed directly in the tiny pool of water. They are also equipped with a float switch. This float switch turns the pump on when it rises to a certain point, and turns the pump off when it falls to an acceptable level. In storms or rain seasons it is not uncommon for a pump to run on a consistent basis. Generally a damp basement can be solved by utilizing a sump pump and a dehumidifier together to regulate the climate. A sump pump is an extremely valuable tool to have in a house. Home owners need to be aware of the pump at all times though it will likely function for years without any attention or maintenance at all. Keeping a keen ear on the pump or checking it periodically will prevent the unit from failing when it is needed. Obviously, if the pump fails during a period when water is overflowing the sump, a major clean up will likely follow.


How do dams provide energy?

It holds water behind it as potential energy. The difference in the pressure of the water between the reservoir and the turbine outlet make power. Some dams pump water back up behind the dam when power consumption is low.

What is the maximum height a centrifugal pump can pump water?

This varies from pump to pump because centrifugal pumps can be designed for various applications. The maximum height a pump can pump water depends on size of pipe/water column, friction, power available etc. This is often reffered to as the head of the pump. A water company would probably have some centrifugal pumps capable pumping to over 300m in a 30 inch main.

How high a waterfall can be made from a waterfall kit?

Manmade waterfall height and flow are inversely related, based on the pump's characteristics, meaning that the height increases, flow decreases. Pumps have a maximum flow rate, and head (height the pump can raise the water at a stated flow). The height and flow table are listed for each pump, so read them carefully for your intended application.

How much work is done by the pump to fill 1.0 x 10 3 -kg tower?

To determine the work done by the pump to fill a tower with a mass of 1.0 x 10³ kg, we need to know the height the water is being lifted and the force exerted by the pump. The work done can be calculated using the formula ( W = F \cdot d ), where ( F ) is the force (equal to the weight of the water) and ( d ) is the height. Without the specific height or additional details, we can't calculate a numerical answer, but the work done will be proportional to both the weight of the water and the height it is pumped.

What capacity of pump to be used to lift water at a height of 10 mtr?

Capacity is more usually used to refer how much water the pump can shift in a minute, you're looking for something else. Having the pump 10 meters above the waterline is just about borderline possible, the pump must be able to pull a near vacuum to get the water that high. Pushing water 10 m above the level of the pump OTOH is no big deal.
