    Centrifugal Pump Curves

    Uploaded by

    Besan Ladu
    The document discusses centrifugal pump curves and how to modify them based on changes in pump operating conditions using affinity laws. It provides the original manufacturer's curve showing flow rate and head, fits the curve to a quadratic equation, then modifies the curve based on changes in impeller diameter and pump speed using affinity laws to derive a new head curve. A plot compares the original, fitted, and new head curves.
