Correct
Q: Identify the false statement.
A: Cavitation can occur when water is flowing in a pipe and a valve is closed too quickly.
Correct
Q: Which of the following is one correct method to avoid cavitation?
A: Reduce the friction loss in the suction pipe.
Correct
Q: Identify the reasons for reduction in pump performance from the given options:
A: Bad power supply
Correct
Q: What are the effects of cavitation on pumps?
A: Pitting of impeller and pump housing
Correct
Q: Select the three parameters of most interest in water pumping systems:
A: Flow, head and energy
Correct
Q: Identify the true statement.
A: If all the parameters are recorded immediately after the pump has been installed, you can use them as benchmark against future data.
Correct
Q: Identify the correct formula for calculating pump efficiency.
A: (p x H × Q)/(c × P1)
Correct
Q: How can friction loss in a system be minimised?
A: By increasing the pipe diameter
