Two Pumps Connected in Parallel
- purpose: to pump fluid in higher capacities, higher volume, higher amount
- head is constant (total dynamic head is the same, uniform)
- higher discharge volumes
- increase in total pumping capacity
- add flowrates of pumps
Total Flow = Flowrate of Pump1 + Flowrate of Pump2
Q = q1 + q2
Two Pumps Connected in Series
- purpose: to pump fluid in higher elevation, higher height, higher level
- fluid flowrate is constant (the same, uniform)
- higher discharge heights
- increase in total dynamic head
- add heads of pumps
Total Dynamic Head = Head of Pump1 + Head of Pump2
TDH = H1 + H2
