Find Fluid Flow Pump to Hit Plate Radially - 50-75 Knots

AI Thread Summary
A user seeks recommendations for a pump that can achieve a fluid flow of 50 to 75 knots, directing fluid radially from a 4 to 5-inch diameter pipe onto a 28-inch diameter plate. The design involves a 3-inch cavity between two plates, with fluid entering from the center and needing to be forced outward without using an impeller. The user prefers a lightweight, inexpensive electric DC pump but is advised that such specifications may require a gas or diesel-powered propulsion pump, like those used in jet boats. Concerns are raised about the feasibility of achieving the desired flow rate with a DC motor. Visual aids, such as sketches, are suggested to clarify the design concept.

Hello,
I cannot figure out which pump or size of pump would fit the need I have. Can you please review the need and recommend a type and pump model/specification that you think would work for this application?

I need to have a fluid flow of these specs, I don't have any constraints or structural limitations as it is just concept for now based on other similar units.

I need to have fluid come in from a pipe of maybe 4 to 5 inch diameter that must hit a plate that will force the fluid to the outer edge of the plate in all 360 degrees. The cavity is 3" height between the two plates.
Something like what a radial flow impeller does to the fluid but don't want to use an impeller. Just a small conical structure in the center point of impact from incoming pipe flow. The top plate is 28 inches in diameter.

The key need is to have a fluid flow of 50 to 75 Knots at the 9" mark from center point going out to the outer edges of the plate. So the cavity looks like two pancakes with a 3 inch gap from top plate to lower plate. The water needs to enter from the center of the lower pancake hit the top pancake in the center and force the water radially at 50-75knots. Looking for lightweight, cheap, electric DC pump that can do this.
please email me at mirequest@yahoo.com with any replies. I would really appreciate it.
I think I will need a large GPM rather than head.

With my apologies, I can't follow the question. Any chance that you can post a sketch of what you're talking about?
 
You want to push water thru a 5" pipe at 70mph?
 
maybe you could use the propulsion pump from a jet boat. It would be gas or diesel powered. I don't think there is a DC motor out there that will do what you are talking about.
 
Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
