4. Manometric head, in case of a centrifugal pump, is equal to __________
a) Suction lift + Loss of head in suction pipe due to friction + Delivery lift + Loss of head in delivery pipe due to friction + Velocity head in the delivery pipe
b) Energy per kN at outlet of impeller – Energy per kN at inlet of impeller
c) Workdone per kN of water – Losses within the impeller
d) All of the mentioned
Answer: d
Clarification: Manometric head, in case of a centrifugal pump = Suction lift + Loss of head in suction pipe due to friction + Delivery lift + Loss of head in delivery pipe due to friction + Velocity head in the delivery pipe = Energy per kN at outlet of impeller – Energy per kN at inlet of impeller = Workdone per kN of water – Losses within the impeller.
