- Digital multimeter
- Miniature test clip adapters
- Water pump
- Teflon tape
- Medium/large Philips-head screwdriver
Learning Objectives
- Be able to finish assembly of the pump
- Be able to perform basic trouble-shooting to verify operation of the pump
- Be able to describe the shape of head versus flow rate curve for a pump
- Be able to describe the shape of the efficiency versus flow rate curve for a pump
- Be able to identify the no-flow and maximum flow points on head versus flow rate and efficiency versus flow rate curves
- Be able to perform the measurements necessary to measure pump performance: measure flow rate, head, power input
- Be able to reduce the raw data from pump performance measurements to obtain head versus flow rate and efficiency versus flow rate curves.
- Be able to complete the measurements necessary to measure pump performance: measure flow rate, head, power input
