A triplex 6

A triplex 6"13" power pump is operating at 60 stk/min. Its mechanical efficiency is 89%. Calculate: 1- The pump factor in bbl/stk and gal/stk at 95% volumetric efficiency 2- The flow rate in bbl/min and gal/min 3- The pump power if the operating pressure is 3,500 psi 4- The prime mover power 5- Time and number of strokes to discharge 90% of the rectangular tank capacity (8'18'8') 6- Gasoline volume in 24 hrs (prime mover efficiency = 25%) 7- Time and number of strokes to discharge 90% of the rectangular tank capacity (8'18'96") assuming the above pump is a duplex with a rod diameter of 2-in.
