So i have to size pump, there is a tank A which sends liquid to centrifugal pump A, pump A delivered this liquid to tank B.
There is also tank C that sends liquid to pump C that delivers liquid to tank D.
Now according to new design, discharge of pump A will be connected to suction of pump C. How to find discharge pressure of pump A(which is the suction pressure of pump C)?
The way i calculated was : i calculated suction of pump A, then used pump curve, found rated head, converted to bar, and aded up to suction pressure got the discharge pressure of pump A. Then i used the discharge pressure of pump A, substracted friction loses of the pipe between pump A and C, took static elevation into account, and thus found suction pressure of pump C. Is it a right way to size pump? Could you please help? Both of them are centrifugal pumps

Please upload a simple sketch of the system you described...

lorean,

Please don't duplicate the same post ! 

We are happy to help but we want you to tell us your difficulties showing your work or at least submitting minimum information , sketch for us to support . 

BTW did you talk to your supervisor ?

note : I've attached a great resource  about centrifugal pump to support your work.

 

Engineering is about hard work .

Good luck

Hi,

Next time click on the button "more reply options"  bottom right corner then attach your documents .

BTW we got your sketch .

 

You have two pumps in serie , you need to generate the pump curve for 2 pumps  .

Make sure the pumps are compatible and won't affect their performance working in serie.

Good luck

Dear Breizh, thank you very much, you are very kind and supportive engineer
The pumps are existing pumps, so is the way i calculated right? Because the curve for both of them already exists.
