3: What happens to the flow when the NPSH value increases?
It increases as well
4: Why will pumps with a constant duty point soon be a thing of the past?
Because duty pumps no longer operate alone

4: Why will pumps with a constant duty point soon be a thing of the past?
Because better and smarter control valves are available
You can find the answer here >
4: Why will pumps with a constant duty point soon be a thing of the past?
Because of the use of variable speed pumps for applications with variable demand
