This value must be less than 3m/s to avoid scouring of the pipeline but greater than .75m/s to avoid settlement Velocity is ok System Characteristics

Using this system characteristic equation and the pump data supplied in the handout, values for Q were subbed in, tabulated and graphed. The resulting pump curves are shown below:

The operating point of a single point was found to be:

37 l/s 7.5 m

This is far below the required levels. Therefore two of these pumps were tested in paralled to see if this would be adequate. Again, the operating point here was not sufficient. Therefore two pumps were used in series and in conjunction with two more in parallel.
