Diseño y simulación de un prototipo de bomba de ariete para el suministro de agua en la finca El Manantial del municipio de Neiva

Abstract

The water supply for the development of agricultural production systems is essential for their success; however, the lack of regularity in the supply is a problem faced daily by farmers; the research project describes the design and simulation of a ram pump prototype for water supply in the farm "El Manantial" in the municipality of Neiva. The methodology used consists of 6 phases, starting from the state of the art, definition of requirements, conceptual design, calculations, detailed design and simulation; the results obtained show a ram pump with a vertical air chamber coupled by means of hexagonal screws and seal to a galvanized nipple, which operates under three phases or cycles of fluid movement through it; the first phase indicates the fluid velocity is 0. 979 m/s and the flow Q is 0.1399 L/min; in the second phase the first water hammer occurs inside the pump when the shock valve is closed, here the output speed is 0.974 m/s and the third phase in which the fluid runs through the entire supply pipe; as a conclusion, it is concluded that with the implementation of the pump the new projects can be supplied alternately in terms of irrigation.
