Power Used by a pump – Pump Power Calculation

Pump power is the product of flow rate in cubic metres per second, density of fluid in kg/cubic meter, acceleration due to gravitational force, 9.81 m/second squared and head in metres. The shaft power (kW) will then be this pump power divided by pump efficiency.

PUMP POWER CALCULATION is made easy at http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/pumps-power-d_505.html

What is electrical engineering?

What is electrical engineering? This question is asked several times in a day. I also asked the same question to find an answer with Google Search. The answers I got were astonishing. The first answer came from Wikipedia the online encyclopaedia. The answer to the question What is electrical engineering? The answer was Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that generally deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism. The question was answered by Xtreme like Electrical engineering is concerned with the basic forms of energy that run our world. Even the YouTube provided an answer - What is Electrical Engineering? Students at Iowa State tell you what electrical engineering means to them. Other answers I find to the question is also listed below:

Aluminum Conductor Composite Reinforced (ACCR)

Aluminum Conductor Composite Reinforced (ACCR) is a rather new comer to towerline power transmission technology. ACCR can deliver 2 to 3 times the capacity without the risks and delays of major construction projects. On time, in budget, back toACCR service – with proven reliability. Aluminum Conductor Composite Reinforced (ACCR) is overhead transmission conductor like ACSR and ACSS, with higher ampere capacity with less thermal expansion (sag). ACCR can carry two or more times the current of a standard conductor of comparable diameter. It has less weight and sag, but the same strength and can be installed to meet your tension and clearance requirements. This allows you to maximize the capacity of your transmission upgrade using existing structures and rights of way. Compared to a rebuild project, you can get your upgrade done faster and with fewer permitting requirements. ACCR can be used any place standard ACSR conductor. ACCR's core is aluminum-based, rather than steel, it is more conductive than steel core conductors, resulting in lower losses under the same operating conditions. In addition, 3M ACCR comes in a trapezoidal wire design that can improve conductivity up to 28% compared to the same size, round wire ACSR. ACCR Conductors cost around 4 times of the standard conductors. See how easy ACCR is to install by viewing the Installation videos.

Electrical engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Electrical engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that generally deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism. The field first became an identifiable occupation in the late nineteenth century after commercialization of the electric telegraph and electrical power supply. It now covers a range of subtopics including power, electronics, control systems, signal processing and telecommunications.

Electrical engineering may or may not include electronic engineering. Where a distinction is made, usually outside of the United States, electrical engineering is considered to deal with the problems associated with large-scale electrical systems such as power transmission and motor control, whereas electronic engineering deals with the study of small-scale electronic systems including computers and integrated circuits.[1] Alternatively, electrical engineers are usually concerned with using electricity to transmit energy, while electronic engineers are concerned with using electricity to transmit information. More recently, the distinction has become blurred by the growth of power electronics.

Electrical System Protection

Electrical System Protection is a very important field of study. Most of the design engineers find it difficult to Electrical Protection System protect their equipments from voltage surges, power breakers, fluctuations etc. There are several standard projections used for electrical power systems. The basic protection systems are Overload Protection, Under voltage Protection, Overvoltage Protection, Phase Failure Protection, Phase Sequence Reversal Protection. The first one that is Overload or over current protection is sufficient for majority or equipments. A simple schematic is given in the figure. This is a basic circuit that trigger an opening solenoid and protect the system from overloads. Now you take any circuit around you and make a schematic of the same. Your schematic will look very same as this figure!
