Effects of Viscosity on Rotodynamic Pump Performance

Date: August 15, 2024
Time: 1:00pm EST
PDH Credits: 1.0

Overview

This webinar is based on the Hydraulic Institute’s Guideline for Effects of Liquid Viscosity on Performance (ANSI/HI 9.6.7), which provides manufacturers, system designers, and end users with a methodology for predicting the performance of a rotodynamic pump in Newtonian liquids when the fluid viscosity differs from that of clean water. The webinar offers insights into correction factors for rotodynamic radial flow pumps of overhung (OH), between bearing (BB), or vertical (VS) types of conventional design, along with example calculations. The session will conclude with a brief summary of key insights, followed by a Q&A session to offer further clarification.

Learning Objectives: 

  • Gain an understanding of liquid viscosity and its influence on pump performance, including its effects on flow rate, total head, pump input power, pump efficiency, and NPSH3 for rotodynamic radial flow pumps.
  • Learn the procedure to estimate the effects of viscosity on pump performance, comprising three parts: determining applicability, calculating pump performance on a viscous liquid based on water performance, and selecting an appropriate pump considering specified head, flow rate, and viscosity conditions.
  • Knowledge of additional considerations involved when pumping viscous liquids, such as the limitations of the correction methods, specific pump design effects, mechanical considerations including torque implications, sealing issues, and the utilization in sealless pump technologies.

PDH Credits

One (1) PDH credit will be issued upon completion of this live webinar series. 

The acceptance of continuing education as it applies to fulfillment of the state licensing requirements for professional designations is at the pleasure of the individual state licensing boards. It is the responsibility of the individual participants to be knowledgeable about their state requirements.

Licensed Professional Engineers

Continuing professional development is a vital component to the engineering licensure process. Most state licensing boards require continuing professional development as a condition for licensure and renewal of the license to practice engineering. Pre-approval of training providers and courses are not required by most state licensing boards, except for the following:

Florida Board of Professional Engineers

Pump Systems Matter is a board-approved continuing education provider for the Florida Board of Professional Engineers: License # CEA361.

North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors

Pump Systems Matter is an approved continuing professional competency sponsor for the North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors: Sponsor # S-0523.

New York State Board for Engineering, Land Surveying, and Geology

Pump Systems Matter is approved as a sponsor of continuing education for professional engineers in New York State: NYS Sponsor # 241.
