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

Over the RPM range. And in particular (see below): How does it respond to a partly closed thermostat? I've never seen an answer to that. Or rather: What is required in terms of coolant flow to proper

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

Considering that the 4cyl TR engine At least the TR will get a decent flow of air over it's radiator and not have to drag a monster plough, trailer, etc up a muddy one in four! I'd rather handle the

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
