ABSTRACT
This paper describes analytical & mathematical treatment of
hydraulic ram pump. It includes two methods of mathematical
calculation which is being made for obtaining output parameter of
hydraulic ram pump or HYDRAM like discharge at delivery head
'Qd' etc, by using various combinations of independent design
parameters. Within these Method-1 includes use of various fluid
imperial formulas for flow calculation. Method
mathematical model equations for obtaining complete behavior of
flow. Finally comparison between results of these two methods has
been carried out for further conclusion.

INTRODUCTION
A hydraulic ram (also called HYDRAM) is a pump
which uses energy from a falling quantity of water
to pump some of it to an elevation much higher
than the original level at the source. No external is
required and as long as there is a continuous flow of
falling water, the pump will work continuously and
automatically. Provision of adequate domestic
water supply for scattered rural populations is a
major problem in many developing countries. Fuel
and maintenance costs to operate conventional
pumping systems are becoming prohibitive. The
hydraulic ram pump (HYDRAM) is an alternative
pumping device that is relatively simple technology
that uses renewable energy, and is durab
The operation of a HYDRAM is intermittent due to
the cyclic opening and closing of the waste and
delivery valves. The closure of the waste valve
creates a high pressure rise in the drive pipe. An air
chamber is necessary to prevent these high
intermittent pumped flows into a continuous stream
of flow. The air valve allows a
