Question:

It is proposed to use one 32- and one 28-in pump from Fig. 11.7a in parallel to deliver water at 60°F. The system-head curve is Hs = 50 + 0.3Q2, with Q in thousands of gallons per minute. What will the head and delivery be if both pumps run at 1170 r/min? If the 28-in pump is reduced below 1170 r/min, at what speed will it cease to deliver?
