Volume of fluid displaced for triplex pump
Input(s)
\(\mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{L}}\): Piston Diameter (in.)
\(\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{s}}\): Stroke Length (in.)
\(\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{v}}\): Volumetric Efficiency (unitless)
Output(s)
\(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{t}}\): Volume of Fluid Displaced (bbl/stroke)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{t}}=\frac{\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{s}} * \mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{L}}^{2} * \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{v}}}{42 * 98.03}
\]
