- All this talk about electric water pumps raises a few questions: 1) If the pump and drive pulleys are sized for adequate coolant flow at idle will the pump caviate at red-line? 2) How much power does

- Seems to me that my 1989 Audi 200 Turbo (God, I loved that car...) had an electrically driven water pump for the purpose of maintaining flow through the block after shutdown. As for power consumed, t

- Nice analysis ! One quibble : your illustration is for minimum flow to keep the engine cool at full output. Now, we need the flow required at idle to size the pump (which I suspect is worst case, but

- For centrifugal pumps, flow is directly proportional to speed and power increases as the cube of the speed. Thus, if a pump runs at twice its normal speed it consumes eight times the power. At idle,

- So, another way to look at this is : 12 lb/hr fuel. If 1/3 of the input heats the water, then using your equation, with a 2 ft head and 20 deg rise gives us .0067 hp for the pump. Then, using the cub

- Actually, the fuel flow rate was .5 PINTS/BHP/Hr, not lbs/BHP/Hr. Thus, under the conditions you have stated and using my initial assumptions, the heat equivalent of 24 BHP would be about 61,100 BTUH

- Wow! Someone with the figures. I used to know about half of that stuff haven't used it in years. BTW I think the reason to keep the pump running after shut down is to cool the turbo bearing (Is it wa

- Well, the rough approximation of a pint's a pound (the world 'round) seemed good enough for the precision required, and I DID assume a reduced head of 2 ft at 1250 rpm. This has to be about the minim

- Forgot it's a closed system ! The height of the radiator has nothing to do with the head at the pump. Guess I'm getting too senile to think about new things <g> Randall seemed good enough for the pr

- Yes, that's correct. The head seen by the pump is a combination of static head (the difference in height between the level of fluid on the suction side and the level of the fluid on the delivery side

- See if you agree with this reasoning : There are two major flow resistances, the radiator, and the block/head. The radiator is between the radiator cap and the pump inlet, the block/head is between
