Which of the following statement about pump performance curves is incorrect? Pump head curve indicates how much energy (or power) that a pump can provide to the flow at different discharges. Break horse power (BHP) curve indicates the energy (or power) that a pump consumes at different discharges. Best efficiency point (BEP) is the maximum efficiency that a pump may achieve within its operating discharge range. Net positive suction head (NPSH) curve indicates the minimum NPSH values at different discharges in order to avoid cavitation.

Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.
