DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS AN APPROPRIATE METHOD FOR HEAD LOSS DETERMINATION IN FOOT-VALVES

Abstract

For computing the pressure loss while designing a pump or while selecting a pump, an equation taking into account the area of dome surface, section eross section area, acceleration due to gravity, velocity flow at the foot valve, diameter the suction pipe and strainer opening area was developed.

Keywords: Foot valve, Head loss, Dimensional analysis
