Centrifugal pumps in series are used to overcome larger system head loss than one pump can handle alone.

  • for two identical pumps in series the head will be twice the head of a single pump at the same flow rate - as indicated in point 2.

With a constant flowrate the combined head moves from 1 to 2.

Note! In practice the combined head and flow rate moves along the system curve to point 3.

  • point 3 is where the system operates with both pumps running
  • point 1 is where the system operates with one pump running

Series operation of single stage pumps is seldom encountered - more often multistage centrifugal pumps are used.

How a rivers discharge increase due to physical factor?

One physical factor that can increase a river's discharge is heavy rainfall, which leads to more water flowing into the river. This can cause the river to overflow its banks and increase its discharge. Another factor is snowmelt, where melting snow adds more water to the river, increasing its flow. Lastly, changes in the topography or geology of the river basin can alter the river's discharge by affecting how quickly water is able to flow into the river.

When speed is double the centrifugal force also double?

When speed is doubled, the centrifugal (or centripetal) force increases by a factor of 4. One formula you can use (for centripetal acceleration) is: a = v2 / r. Force, of course, is proportional to acceleration.
