Q4: Two centrifugal pumps (A) and (B) are to be used to pump water for vertical distance equal to 30m. The pipeline is 75m length of 350mm diameter commercial steel pipe (0.025). Should the two pumps be in series or in parallel? Determine the volume flow rate through the pipeline. The pumps have the following characteristic curves: Pump (A) H-22.9-7910² Pump (B) H=16.5-75390 where H in (m) and Q in (m³/s). [17.5 Marks]

Q4: Two centrifugal pumps (A) and (B) are to be used to pump water for vertical distance
equal to 30m. The pipeline is 75m length of 350mm diameter commercial steel pipe
(0.025). Should the two pumps be in series or in parallel? Determine the volume flow
rate through the pipeline.
The pumps have the following characteristic curves:
Pump (A) H-22.9-7910²
Pump (B) H=16.5-75390
where H in (m) and Q in (m³/s).
