Increasing water pressure without increasing pump output

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the feasibility of increasing water pressure and flow using a submerged nozzle in a closed system. Specifically, it examines the principle of Bernoulli's equation and the use of an eductor to enhance flow dynamics. The concept involves utilizing the advancing flow through the nozzle to draw in additional water from outside the pipe, potentially improving output if the exit pipe is appropriately sized or short. This method leverages fluid dynamics to optimize performance without increasing pump output.

I am curious as to whether a nozzle at the end of a pipe that is completely submerged in water and has a pressurized flow being pumped through it in a closed condition can increase the amount of flow and pressure of the water in a pipe fixed to the exit side of that nozzle if the nozzle uses the advancing flow going through it to suck in water that is on the outside of the pipe. It may work if the pipe on the exit side has more space in it or is short to the output into the water.
