Question

For pump head calculation should we need to add length and height of pipe

Answer 1

Why less the height at the suction side? ... You will then have to use the velocity to calculate the friction head loss in ... friction, which depends on the length of pipe and the diameter.

Answer 2

Hey

Here is the answer.

Yes.

For the calculation of head we always consider the height of pipe as head potential energy and height gives the potential.

Also, for the calculation of exact head we need to consider the losses through the length of the pipe as head loss is given by

$h = \frac{fl {v}^{2} }{2gd}$

here we can see that head loss is directly proportional to the length of the pipe.

Also, there are losses at the bend and exist and entry .

So, for exact calculation we need to consider all.

Thanks .
