Spray Volume/liquid Displacement

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating liquid displacement in a pump mechanism, specifically for a perfume bottle design. The key takeaway is that the swept volume of the pump chamber directly correlates to the fluid displacement, assuming no leakage occurs. Brett, a mechanical design engineer, seeks guidance on this calculation, indicating a need for precise understanding of fluid dynamics in pump systems.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fluid dynamics principles
  • Knowledge of pump mechanics and design
  • Familiarity with swept volume calculations
  • Basic skills in mechanical engineering design
NEXT STEPS
  • Research fluid dynamics equations relevant to pump systems
  • Learn about calculating swept volume in various pump designs
  • Explore methods to minimize leakage in pump mechanisms
  • Investigate different types of pumps used in consumer products
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for mechanical design engineers, product designers, and anyone involved in the development of pump mechanisms or fluid displacement systems.

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.
