Expert Solution

Step 1: Best Efficiency Point (BEP):

The operating condition at which a pump performs best hydraulically and in terms of energy consumption is known as the Best Efficiency Point (BEP) of the pump. The pump endures the least amount of wear and tear and produces the maximum flow rate at the BEP with the least amount of power input. It stands for the ideal ratio of flow rate to head (pressure) in a particular pump design. It is preferable to run a pump near its BEP in order to maximize efficiency and minimize running expenses.
