Figure 3.24- System curves for 3A ~r 3B with pump curve
By selecting a pump for Condition 3B, it will intersect the system curve
for Condition 3A at a lower flow rate as shown in Figure 3.24. This
simply means that the 'filling' system discussed in Example 3A will take
place at less than the originally estimated flow rate, and will take longer
to complete prior to the syphoning effect coming into play and the
pump moving into normal operating mode.
