When two such pump are connected in parallel the flow rate through the system is the same as when connected in series. Determine the flow rate that a single pump would deliver if connected to the same system? Assume the system characteristic to be purely resistive (no static lift) and losses due to friction only.
Solution:

Flow rate Original Pump Curve Pump Curve when connected in Parallel Pump Curve when connected in Series
From the interception between pum p curve when connected in series and when connected in parallel taking readings of the flow rate (Q) and head (H), that should gives: Q := 0.142 m

After finding the constant value (k), use this constant (k) to com pute the system head using the same flow rate and add the system curve on the plot.
