Solution 46, p. 91:

For the constant, adiabatic, and isothermal flow of an incompressible fluid, a form of the Bernouilli
equation is:
P1 gc v2 hg P g v2 hg
 1  1  hpump  2 c  2  2  h f
1 g 2 gc gc 2 g 2 gc gc
where hf = friction head
hpump = pump head
ρ = density
P = pressure
v = linear velocity of flow (ft/sec)
gc = gravitational constant

If the change in velocity is negligible, the equation reduces to:


P2 gc P1 g c  h2  h1  g
hpump     hf

Solution 48, p. 93:

The solution should read as follows:

The brake horsepower for the pump (bhp) can be calculated from the total dynamic head (TDH) read
from the pump curve, as follows:
Q(TDH)
bhp 
p

where Q = volumetric flow rate


ρ = density of the fluid
p = efficiency of the pump

For 50 gal/min and a 9 1/2-in. impeller, from the pump curve, TDH = 82 ft and p is 0.29. Then:
