Example Find an electric sotor output for the centrifugal pump of 3,000 Wnin flow and 20 weter head vhen the pump is direct driven by the motor. Solution Table 1 shows that the pump efficiency for 3 m3/nin flow is approximately 60%. Hotor output can be calculated from the forsura 9.3 . R= _3000x0e(L+01) = 18 By 6,120 x 0.6 Table 1.

The system head is sum of the static head on the pump discharge minus the static head on the pump suction plus the friction losses thru the entire piping systen. With an Increase in flow the friction losses increase as the square of the flow + when plotting head against capacity flow, a parabolic head curve is formed. This curve is called the system head curve.
