Related Calculations. Use the method given here for any type of pump whose variables are included in the Hydraulic Institute curves (Figs. 6.10 and 6.11) and in similar curves available from the same source. Operating specific speed, computed as above, is sometimes plotted on the performance curve of a centrifugal pump so that the characteristics of the unit can be better understood. Type specific speed is the operating specific speed giving maximum efficiency for a given pump and is a number used... [Pg.207]
