    Flowrate Pressure
AI Thread Summary
Knowing the flow rate of a pump alone is insufficient to determine its pressure without a pump curve. A pump curve provides the necessary relationship between flow rate and pressure. If the pump curve is unavailable, the pressure cannot be accurately calculated. It is advisable to contact the pump manufacturer to obtain the required pump curve. Accurate pressure determination relies on having this critical data.

If we know the flowrate of a pump, is it possible to find out the pressure of the pump?

Yes...if you have a pump curve.

The problem is I don't have one

In that case you cannot find the pressure knowing only the flow rate of the pump.

Contact the manufacturer of the pump, they will give you one.

Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'
Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...
Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'
Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
