You're adding a pump to an existing pipeline and have been given the pump curve for the pump that relates the head to the flow rate and the efficiency curve for the pump.
How might you determine the new flow rate for the pipeline?

Question

You're adding a pump to an existing pipeline and have been given the pump curve for the pump that relates the head to the flow rate and the efficiency curve for the pump.

How might you determine the new flow rate for the pipeline?

Accepted Answer

Where the pump curve intersects with the system curve

Answer

The pump should automatically operate at its maximum efficiency based on the efficiency curve

Answer

The flow rate will be the same as before the pump was installed but the pressure in the pipeline will be higher

Answer

The user will be able to control the flow rate to ensure that its operating at maximum efficiency
