Pump Final Exam

The document provides 10 questions related to centrifugal pumps. It asks about calculating new flow rates and pressure given a change in pump speed, drawing Q-H curves for pumps in parallel, plotting points of same efficiency on a Q-H curve, writing the NPSHA equation, calculating NPSHA for a given water pump, the function of a balancing drum, the effect of increased inlet pressure on flow and horsepower, the meaning of Ns for centrifugal pumps, and comparing the characteristics of two pumps with different Ns values.
