Q: What can you add to a pump to prevent it from dry-running?
A: Nothing, you can only use pumps with built-in dry-running protection
Q: Which of the following is NOT a way to reduce friction losses?
A: Reduce the flow
Q: Which of the following is NOT a way to reduce friction losses?
A: Lower the pump inlet
Q: Which of the following is NOT a way to reduce friction losses?
A: Increase the pipe size
Q: What happens if you double both the pump’s flow and the head?
A: The energy usage remains the same
Q: What happens if you double both the pump’s flow and the head?
A: The energy usage is doubled
Q: What happens if you double both the pump’s flow and the head?

Q: Does it create a noise inside the pump when vapourised water molecules implode?
A: No
Q: Does it create a noise inside the pump when vapourised water molecules implode?
A: Yes
Q: Why is it an advantage to mount your pump to a fixed base?
A: A steady pump operates more efficiently
Q: Why is it an advantage to mount your pump to a fixed base?
A: It makes it easier to measure the pump data
Q: Why is it an advantage to mount your pump to a fixed base?
A: It helps to keep it steady in bad weather
Q: What does friction loss refer to?
A: A rapid decrease of flow and increase of pressure
Q: What does friction loss refer to?
A: The formation of air bubbles in the moving liquid
Q: What does friction loss refer to?
A: Contact between the moving liquid and its enclosure
