- Theoretical power required (in watts) to drive a reciprocating pump is (where w = Specific weight of liquid to be pumped in N/m3, Q = Discharge of the pump in m3/s, Hs = Suction head in meters, and Hd = Delivery head in meters)
- For starting an axial flow pump, its delivery valve should be
- Maximum impulse will be developed in hydraulic ram when
- The force exerted by a jet of water (in a direction normal to flow) impinging on a fixed plate inclined at an angle θ with the jet is
