Pengaruh Variasi Ukuran Tabung Udara Terhadap Kinerja Pompa Hidram

Abstract

ZULFAHRI YUDHA DUANA : Effect of Variation of Measurement of Air Tube on Hidram Pump’s Performance, Supervised by SUMONO and RISWANTI SIGALINGGING. Hidram Pump is one kind of pump that needed no electrical energy as it exploits air pressure and the water pressure as it’s power booster, so Hidram pump is one of water pump that isn’t using fuel and relatively cheap. This reseach measured rate of flow, coefficient and efficiency of pump. The aim of this reseach was to know the influence of variation of measurement of air tube with the same volume (2494,64 cm)3 , the high that the was 54,67, 19,68 and 10,04 inches, and the diameter was 3, 5, and 7 inches on water rate of flow resulted. From the trial and calculation results the variation air pump measurement with the same volume but with different diameter and high that no significant effort the pump performance. The rate of flow input was 1,176 1/s. The output for 3 inch tube was 0,330 1/s, for the 5 inch diameter was 0,336 1/s, and 7 inch diameter was 0,338 1/s. The coefficient of rate of flow obtained was 0,497 for the tube diameter 3 inch, 0,504 for the diameter 5 inch, and 0,498 for the diameter 7 inch. The highest efficiency for found in air tube by the meter of 7 inch as big as 28,74% and the value of efficiency dispute was just 0,17%
