Pump head and flow rate relation

AI Thread Summary
Increasing flow rate in a pump system typically results in a decrease in head, as indicated by the pump characteristic curve. The relationship between RPM and flow rate is governed by the pump affinity laws, which explain how changes in speed affect performance. It is possible to adjust pump head by modifying system resistance rather than RPM, which can lead to increased flow. Specifically, reducing pressure resistance in the system can enhance flow rates while maintaining a constant RPM. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for optimizing pump performance.

i need some help becoase i become confused
according to pump characteristic curve if the flow rate increased the head will decreased
the question is how i can increase the flow rate and what is the relation of RPM with head and flow rate

thank u for ur answer but this link is speake about changing rpms it is available to change the pump head by change pump capacity with constant RPM and how ?
 
By combining the first and second equations, you get an equation that tells you that by lowering the pressure resistance in the system, you'll get an increase in flow.
 
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
