Calculation of inlet pressure of the pump

In summary, the purpose of calculating the inlet pressure of a pump is to ensure efficient and effective operation and proper sizing and selection for a given application. The inlet pressure can be calculated using Bernoulli's equation or by measuring the pressure at the inlet using a gauge or sensor. Various factors can affect the inlet pressure, such as fluid properties, pump type, and system design. It is important to calculate the inlet pressure accurately to maintain desired flow rate and pressure and avoid pump failure, decreased performance, and increased energy consumption. However, there are limitations and assumptions involved in the calculation, which may affect the accuracy in real-world applications.

hello guys,
i wanted to calculate inlet pressure of the pump( vacuum pressure). pump operates at 400 bar.
pump works by sucking the grease from the inlet port of dia 7mm and delivers it through outlet port of dia 2.8mm. pump used here is piston pump. the force acting on the piston is 400bar.

regards
Ashwin

You'd probably have better luck getting this one answered in the General Engineering subforum.
