Abstract

Water supply is a crucial factor for farmers in managing agricultural land, especially those relying on river water sources. The lower position of rivers and the considerable distance from the fields often pose challenges, making water pumps powered by electricity or fuel a common choice, despite their high operational costs. To address this issue, the utilization of renewable energy through the use of a spiral pump powered by a water wheel is proposed. The spiral pump is considered an environmentally friendly technology as it does not require electricity or fossil fuels. This study aims to analyze the head of a spiral pump based on the parameters of an undershot water wheel as preparation for the design of the spiral pump. In this study, a significant decrease in discharge value was observed from a head of 0.5 m up to a head of 3 m; in contrast, from a head of 3 m to 10 m, the discharge value decreased gradually. For small agricultural land or household needs, this spiral pump water wheel would be suitable at a maximum head of 5 m with a discharge value of 0.53 L/s. The results show a negative correlation between the head of the spiral pump and the discharge produced, where an increase in head results in a lower discharge.

Abstract

One of the uses renewable energy is the use of a spiral pump with a water wheel as the driving force. Spiral pumps are classified as environmentally friendly technology because they do not require electricity or fuel. The spiral pump consists of two main parts, namely the water wheel and the hose that is wrapped around both sides of the water wheel.The aim of this research is to analyze the water discharge of a spiral pump based on fluid flow simulation in the hose. This research utilizes advances in computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation methods using software.The determination method proposed in this research has been applied to a waterwheel model with a diameter of 1.2 m and a width of 0.6 m. For hoses, diameters of ½, ¾, 1, 1½, and 2 inches are determined, while the river flow speed is 0.9 m/s. For a hose diameter of 2 inches, the initial flow velocity in the hose is 0.38 m/s and the final velocity at the hose outlet is 0.452 m/s. The largest pump discharge was obtained at a hose diameter of 2.0 inches, namely 0.00183 m3/s.
