Water Pump Pressure: Investigating Load Failure in Engine Systems

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the pressure levels within an engine's water pump, specifically regarding load failure investigations. It notes that a typical radiator cap can handle around 12 PSI before releasing pressure into the overflow tank. The conversation emphasizes that there is likely minimal differential pressure between the water pump's input and output. A resource is shared for further information on pump pressure, highlighting a fluid mechanics library. Understanding these pressure dynamics is crucial for diagnosing engine cooling system issues.

Hi,,
I want to ask you about how much pressure inside the water pumb for the engine??,

because I want to investigate the load failure?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Pretty vague question. In the automotive world the radiator cap will withstand about 12 PSI before the cap relieves pressure and dumps into the overflow tank. There isn't likley a lot of differential between input and output pressure of the water pump.
 
Thank you my friend ,,,

vague!
 
I can give you a usefull website where you can find about pressure inside a pump :
look at this library.

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
