1. What did you learn from EBARA workshop 8‐9 June, 2017? What are new things
aside in class (pumping station) lecture? (10pt)
2. Explain clearly the various methods to control flow rate and compare their electrical
consumptions in water pumping system (which method is more efficiency? more
economic?) (20pt)
3. A centrifugal pump has the characteristics shown in table below. It is used lift water
between two reservoirs with a difference of elevation 0.5 m as shown in figure
below as well. The pipe connecting the reservoirs has diameter of 150 mm and is 800 m
long. The friction factor is assumed to be 0.01. The pipeline includes four standard
elbows and three gate valves. The entrance and exit are sharp. (30pt)

2. Controlling the discharge capacity with the number of pumps requires two or more pumps
installed in parallel. The number of operating pumps is changed in accordance with demand.
Determining the appropriate number of pumps that can accommodate the max. and the
min. demand is important for adopting discharge capacity control with the number of
pumps.
Even when discharge capacity control with the number of pumps has already been
adopted, changing the trigger values to change the number of operating pumps may
contribute to energy savings.
When 2 pumps are used
The figure below shows that when a high discharge capacity in needed, using a high-
capacity pump (broken line) achieves high efficiency, whereas when the required discharge
capacity is small, using two pumps can achieve high efficiency.
