Formula 5.61

Flow in a liquid-liquid ejector pump

Input(s)

$\boldsymbol{v}_{\mathbf{2}}$: Outlet Velocity $(\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s})$

$\rho$: Density of Fluid $(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})$

Output(s)

$\boldsymbol{v}_{\mathbf{0}}$: Inlet Velocity $(\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s})$

$\boldsymbol{E}_{v}$: Energy Dissipation $\left(\mathrm{ft}^{2} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)$

$\boldsymbol{p}_{\mathbf{2}}-\boldsymbol{p}_{\mathbf{1}}$: Pressure Drop (psi)

Formula(s)

$$ \begin{gathered} \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{o}}=1.5 * \mathrm{v}_{2} \\ \mathrm{p}_{2}-\mathrm{p}_{1}=\left(\frac{1}{18}\right) * \rho *\left(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{o}}^{2}\right) \\ \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{v}}=\left(\frac{5}{144}\right) *\left(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{o}}^{2}\right) \end{gathered} $$
