A centrifugal pump having a 7.5-in-diameter impeller and the characteristics shown in the figure below is to be used to pump gasoline through 4000 ft of commercial steel 3-in.-diameter pipe. The pipe connects two reservoirs having open surfaces at the same elevation. Determine the flowrate. Do you think this pump is a good choice? This figure is
referred to as the pump performance characteristics.
