Calculate Pump System Load And Plot Performance Curves
Question
A pump is drawing water from a reservoir1.8m below its centerline suction. It is pumping water to an irrigation canal which is 1.4m above the pump centerline. The following performance characteristics (flow rate Q, head H and efficiency η) were obtained when the pump was running at a constant speed of 1600rpm.

If the total head losses in the pipeline system due to friction and pipe fittings are Σhtotal = 5206Q2 where Σhtotal is in meters and Q is in m3/s:
(i) determine the system load characteristics, Hsys at different flow rates.
(ii) plot H, Hsys and η performance curves as a function of Q on a linear graph.
(iii) obtain the pump head, flow rate and efficiency at the duty point from your graph and calculate the input power.
Assumptions: Take g = 9.81 m/s2 and the density and kinematic energy of water as 1000 kg/m3 and 1 × 10-6 m2/s
Summary
The question belongs to Chemistry and it discusses about calculating the system load characteristics, plot the performance curves and obtain pump head, flow rate and efficiency at duty point for the pump.

Biochemistry was difficult to me right from the day I started to attend classes. I had problems in understanding the concepts. Then I found TheReliableTutor.com and my perspective towards the subject has completely changed. Learning became more interesting than before. Thanks to thereliabletutor.com

I got stuck with my supply chain assignment when I looked online for help. HwA was the only Australian site which responded almost instantly. When the solution also reached my email just on the next day, I was thrilled. The answers were correct and became a fan. From there on I kept on taking help from them.

Ever since I have taken the online taxation assignment help package with TheReliableTutor.com I have never had to worry about missing a deadline or below par quality of essay writing. The tutors are very professional and up to date with the latest happenings in the world of taxation laws. This makes the assignment essays that they help out with one notch higher than the others.
Michael Stark Student
I am very panicky about deadlines. I was using another service prior to TheReliableTutor.com and they often missed the deadlines. That is why I shifted to TheReliableTutor.com and have never had reason to complain again.
Sarah Buchanan Student
The PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes prepared for my world cuisines assignment by the PowerPoint presentation help expert at HwA was absolutely as I had requested for. It was interesting, structured, and not overladen with text content.

This solution is perfect ...thanks
Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
