Pump and Turbine Selection and Performance

Match a machine to its piping by crossing the pump head-capacity curve with the system head curve to fix the operating point, then apply specific speed to name the right pump or turbine, guard the suction side against cavitation with net positive suction head, stack pumps in series and parallel to reach a duty one pump cannot, and compute turbine shaft power, on the Hydraulics and Geotechnical Engineering paper of the CELE.
