Pumps: Head, Discharge & Lubrication Oil Recommendations

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on identifying pumps with the highest head and discharge, as well as recommendations for lubrication oils. It clarifies that "head" refers to static pressure and emphasizes the need to understand specific applications to determine the best pump type. Reciprocating pumps are noted for having high head but low discharge, while centrifugal pumps typically offer low head and high discharge. The conversation also suggests a resource for further information on pump specifications. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for selecting the appropriate pump for various applications.

"Head" is static pressure. For the rest of that, we need to know the application to know what type of pump is best for it.

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
