DESIGN OF WATER PUMPING WINDMILL

Assume water consumption = Storage capacity Total pumping From manufacturers table: 8ft turbine with 2 inch cylinder = 0.200 l/s 8ft turbine with 2.5 inch cylinder = 0.320 l/s It is optimum to have 8 ft turbine with 2.25 inch cylinder Therefore, the inner diameter of pump cylinder is 2.25 inch = 0.057 m Assume the stroke length = 0.2 m Theoretically the volume of water pumped per discharge stroke is given by V = = V = 3.14/4 * d2 * s 3.14/4 * 0.0572 * 0.2 5.1 x 10 -4 = = 3000 lpd 5 days 18000 lpd in 24 hr = 0.208 l/s

Assume slip 0.05% and N = 50 cycles/min Q Q = 5.1 x 10 -4 x 50/60 x (1 0.05) = 4.03 x 10 -4 m3/s = 0.4 l/s

Power required = g x Qm x h/ efficiency of pump

Assume, head = 20 m and efficiency = 0.7 P = 9.8 x 0.4 x 20 /0.7 P = 112 W
