Spray Volume/liquid Displacement

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the liquid displacement in a pump or perfume bottle mechanism, the swept volume of the pump chamber is typically equal to the fluid displacement, assuming there is no leakage. Understanding the pump's design and dimensions is crucial for accurate calculations. Users suggest measuring the pump chamber's volume directly or using manufacturer specifications if available. It's important to consider factors like viscosity and pressure, which can affect the actual displacement. Accurate calculations will ensure the mechanism functions as intended.

I am new to the forum so please go easy on me. I know I may be posting this in the wrong forum but I am a mechanical design engineer so if it doesn't have cogs I am in trouble.

I am working on a project in which i have a pump/perfume bottle type of mechanism, I need to calculate how much liquid is displaced with each pump of the mechanism.

Can someone either help me with this calculation or point me in the correct direction.

Many thanks in advance.

Kind Regards

Brett

Welcome to PF, Brett.
As far as I know, the swept volume of the pump chamber should equal the fluid displacement... barring leakage.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

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...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

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...
