Pump - Head Calculation Excel Sheet
h_friction_pipe = f * (L/D) * (v²/(2g)) Fittings losses (equivalent length method or K-factor):
Friction factor (Swamee-Jain): =0.25/(LOG10(D2/(3.7*B2) + 5.74/G2^0.9))^2 pump head calculation excel sheet
H_static = (Z_dis - Z_suc) + (P_dis - P_suc)*1e5 / (ρ*g) Cell example: =(B5-B4) + (B7-B6)*100000/(B8*B9) → Result: (25−2) + (2−1) 100000/(1000 9.81) = 23 + 10.19 = Section 4: Velocity Head Velocity ( v = \fracQA ) with ( A = \pi D^2 / 4 ) h_friction_pipe = f * (L/D) * (v²/(2g)) Fittings
v (m/s) = Q / (π*(D/1000)^2/4) / 3600 (if Q in m³/h) Velocity head = v²/(2g) Usually if suction/discharge diameters are equal. Section 5: Friction Loss – Darcy-Weisbach Reynolds number : ( Re = \fracv \cdot D\nu ) Friction factor f : use Colebrook or Moody approximation. In Excel, use this simplified explicit formula (Swamee-Jain): f = 0.25 / [ LOG10( ε/(3.7*D) + 5.74/Re^0.9 ) ]^2 Then head loss in pipe: pump head calculation excel sheet
Re: =F2*(B2/1000)/1e-6
h_fittings = (K_elbow * n_elbow + K_valve * n_valve) * v²/(2g) Total friction head = pipe loss + fittings loss TDH = H_static + H_friction_total + H_velocity (if any) Section 7: Output & Results | Description | Value | Unit | |-------------|-------|------| | Static head | 33.19 | m | | Suction friction | 0.85 | m | | Discharge friction | 12.40 | m | | Total pump head | 46.44 | m | | Required hydraulic power | (Q * TDH * ρ * g)/3600000 | kW |
