Solving for D:<br />

For design round up to nearest Vs-in. increment: D = 2.375.<br />

Example<br />

A 2-stage pump has been design<strong>ed</strong> with a 2 5 /8-in. shaft diameter at<br />

the coupling. The maximum horsepower at 3,560 RPM is 900. What is<br />

the maximum operating spe<strong>ed</strong> for a limiting stress of 7,000 psi?<br />

Solution<br />

Using the pump affinity laws describ<strong>ed</strong> in Chapter 2:
