The 32-in diameter pump has a performance curve as below. The pump is used at 1170 rpm in a system whose head curve is hp = 110 + 1.5Q2 (in ft), with Q in units of thousands of gallons of water per minute. Please estimate the discharge required for one pump installed in the system. 800 n=1170 r/min NPSH 50 40
