Description

In order to provide an insight into the energy-conversion performance of low-speed wind-powered water lifting devices, a non-dimensional performance prediction method has been developed. This takes account of positive-displacement pump characteristics, windmill rotor characteristics and wind characteristics. The approach leads to the conclusion that, where conditions permit, the type of system best suited to small scale irrigation comprises a riston or 'bucket' suction pump coupled to a multi...
