Efficiency of the pump is derived from the following
formula.
First BHP of the pump is calculated .
BHP = Q*H *Sp.gravity of the liquid pumped, divided by
367.2 * efficiency of the pump.
Then for calculating the power of driver required to pump,
is calculated by
HP = Q*H*Sp.gravity of liquid /367.2*effciency of
pump*efficency of motor.
Now efficiecny of the pump is calculated from the above as
= HP of motor * efficiency of motor *367.2 / Q*H*Sp.gravity

X is strong but has a very low density (1% of traditional earth materials.) and hence light weight. It is a recyclable material. The compression behaviour of X is strain rate dependent. Higher strain rates result in higher initial modulus and higher compression strength. It can also withstand unlimited number of cycling loading provided the repetitive loads are kept below 80% of the compressive strength. The internal structure of the material includes air-traps which make it poor heat conductor. X is non- biodegradable and chemically inert in both soil and water. Most acids and their water solutions do not attack it; however strong oxidizing acids do. Solvents which attack X include esters, ketones, ethers, aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons and their emulsions, among others. It does not support bacterial/fungal growth as well .It also has significant acoustic properties and effectively reduces the transmission of airborne sound. X is combustible and should not be exposed to open flame or other ignition sources. Combustion products are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water and soot. Long-term exposure to sunlight causes yellowing and a slight embrittlement of the surface due to ultraviolet light. X is able to withstand the rigours of temperature cycling, assuring long-term performance.
