    Head Vs Flow: Centrifugal Pump Curves

    Uploaded by

    lutfi awn
    This document discusses centrifugal pump curves and how to modify them based on affinity laws. It provides the original manufacturer's curve for a pump with a 250 mm impellor diameter operating at 1450 rpm. It then shows how to use the affinity laws to generate a modified curve for a larger 210 mm impellor running at the same speed. A quadratic equation is fitted to both curves to define the relationship between head and flow for each one.
