Modeling Autonomous Pumping Machine for Domestic use

Abstract

The major problems facing the pumping machine users are how to estimate energy in form of power to drive that machine and also the effect of pressure drop change in radius of pipe and the length of total head of pipe that is used in the distribution of fluid from the machine especially the pumping machines that are very useful to day to day activities of human. The aim of this paper is to determine the effect of pressure dropping and the rate of energy consumption in horse power, to determine the effect of radius changes in power consumption rate of the pumping machine and also to know the effect of total head length of pipe in power consumption rate.  The mathematical modelling formulation was based on horse power equation of fluid and modified Heigen equation which were used in programming with C# programming language. The result clearly shows that the pressure drop and power consumption rate has greater effect in pumping distribution pattern which is demonstrated in 1 and 2 dimension format. In conclusion this research will definitely assist the designer of water distribution to economically customize the type of pipe, type of machine that will make the pumping rate very efficient with little energy consumption.
