It is required to deliver 324 gpm against a head of 420 ft at 3600 rpm. Assuming acceptable efficiency of pump at specific speeds of the impeller between 1200 and 4000 rpm when flow Q is in gpm how many pumping stages should be used?
Explain why it is usually not wise to arrange two (or more) dissimilar pumps in series or in parallel.
Determine the least number of stages for a multi stage pump to deliver 60L/s against a total head of 210 meters when running at 1453rpm. If the specific speed must not be less than 675.
