AI Thread Summary
To determine the flow rate of a hot water recirculation pump for a domestic water supply, measuring the flow rate is the most accurate method. If selecting a new pump, understanding the specific requirements of the system is crucial. Users discussed brands like Grundfos and Taco as potential options for pumps. It’s important to consider factors such as pipe size and distance from the water heater when estimating flow rates. Ultimately, precise measurement or manufacturer specifications will guide the selection process effectively.

could anyone explain how to determine the flow rate of the hot water recirculation pump for water heater in domestic water supply?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Do you know the model of the pump?
 
There are several ways to estimate it. The only way to know it is to measure it.
 
Are you trying to check on an existing pump or choose a flow rate in order to select a pump?
 
i want to select the pump (grundfos/Taco)

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
