Underwater low pressure water hydraulics

AI Thread Summary
A waterproof DC water pump capable of handling 60 feet of water, with a flow rate of around 10 gallons per minute at 50 psi, is challenging to find. Industrial sump pumps may be a suitable option, but sourcing one with a DC motor can be difficult. It's recommended to explore ThomasNet.com for potential leads and to engage directly with suppliers, as they may offer modifications to meet specific requirements. Communication with sales representatives can yield valuable insights and alternative suggestions. This proactive approach can help locate the right pump for the intended application.

I'm after a dc waterproof water pump that can handle at least 60 feet of water, around 10 gallons a minute flow rate at 50 psi. finding this combination seems to be a real problem.any ideas?

Hi monet. Welcome to the board. It sounds like you're looking for an industrial sump pump. The tough part may be finding one with a DC motor, but I'm not an expert on these types of pumps. I'd suggest trying ThomasNet.com for this. Here's a couple leads:
http://www.thomasnet.com/nsearch.html?cov=NA&what=Pumps:+Sump&heading=64970601&navsec=prodsearch

Also, it's important to call and talk to them, don't just look at the web page and decide the company doesn't have anything. Many companies will not have everything they can offer on their web site, and many companies will modify some standard pump they have to accommodate your requirements. If the salesman you talk to doesn't have what you want, ask him if he knows of any company that does. Often times, they'll make some good suggestions since they're in the business, and if they don't have what you want, and if they're not the kind of company that will do a 1-off, they will generally know enough about their own industry to know who might make what you're looking for.
 
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 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'
I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
