There are two possible set-ups by which this experiment could be performed.
The ARMFIELD Series-Parallel pump Test Rig or the GILKES Parallel-Series Pump Test
Set. However, use only one set-up to perform this experiment, although both
procedures are given here.
OBJECTIVES
THEORY
Consider certain pump in a piping system in the Figure 4. The pump imparts
mechanical energy to the fluid. The liquid transported at a constant volumetric flow
rate and desired pressure to the discharge end.
