Pump#

class Pump(ID='', ins=None, outs=(), thermo=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Create a pump that sets the pressure of the outlet.

Parameters:

ins (Stream], optional) – Inlet.
outs (Stream], optional) – Outlet.
P=101325 (float, optional) – Pressure of output stream (Pa). If the pressure of the outlet is the same as the inlet, pump is designed to increase of pressure to dP_design.
pump_type='Default' (str) – If ‘Default’, a pump type is selected based on heuristics.
material (str, optional) – Contruction material of pump. Defaults to ‘Cast iron’.
dP_design=101325 (float) – Design pressure change for pump.
ignore_NPSH=True (bool) – Whether to take into consideration NPSH in the selection of a pump type.

Notes

Default pump selection and design and cost algorithms are based on [1].

Examples

Simulate Pump for pressure increase:

>>> from biosteam import Stream, settings
>>> from biosteam.units import Pump
>>> settings.set_thermo(['Water', 'Ethanol'], cache=True)
>>> feed = Stream('feed', Water=200, T=350)
>>> P1 = Pump('P1', ins=feed, outs='out', P=2e5)
>>> P1.simulate()
>>> P1.show()
Pump: P1
