SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the pressure at the intersection of three centrifugal pumps discharging into a single pipe. The pressure at this intersection is closely related to the discharge pressure of the pumps, which can be determined using the pump curves provided by the manufacturer. The flow rate for the pumps is specified as 350 m³/hour, with a pipe diameter of 350 mm. Accurate pressure calculations require knowledge of the pump curves and existing pressure readings within the system.
