Explain pump curve and which form of energy converts to which form of energy?

Question

Accepted Answer

Pump curve shows the relationship between flow rate, pressure, and power. Mechanical energy is converted to hydraulic energy.

Pump curve is a graph that shows the performance of a pump at different flow rates and pressures.
It helps in selecting the right pump for a specific application.
The curve shows the relationship between flow rate, pressure, and power consumption.
Mechanical energy from the motor is converted to hydraulic energy by the pump.
The hydraulic energy is then used to move fluid through the system.
The pump curve can be used to determine the efficiency of the pump at different operating points.
The operating point is where the system curve intersects with the pump curve.
