Suppose the pump of Fig. P1419C is situated between two large water tanks with their free surfaces

Question:

Suppose the pump of Fig. P14–19C is situated between two large water tanks with their free surfaces open to the atmosphere. Explain qualitatively what would happen to the pump performance curve if the free surface of the outlet tank were raised in elevation, all else being equal. Repeat for the system curve. What would happen to the operating point—would the volume flow rate at the operating point decrease, increase, or remain the same? Indicate the change on a qualitative plot of H versus V̇, and discuss.
