AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on determining the appropriate size of a reciprocating pump needed to achieve a flow rate of 0.219 m³/s for a wind turbine designed to pump water at a 1m head. The user has calculated the flow based on their turbine's specifications but is unsure how to translate this into pump size. Additional details regarding the pump setup are requested to provide better guidance. The average wind speed affecting the turbine's performance is noted as 2.67 m/s. Clarifying the pump's operational parameters will aid in finding a suitable solution.

With an average wind speed of 2.67 m/s I am designing a wind turbine which will pump a 1m head of water. I have calculated from the size of my turbine I will be able to pump a volumetric flow of 0.219m^3/s. This is where I am stuck.. I cannot calculate the size of pump which I will need. Can anyone help me on this?

Do you have any other details regarding the pump set up?

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...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

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
