Assessment for Alternatives of Geometry for the Intake Side of the Sump to Enhance Performance of Centrifugal Pump

In any pumping system, the role of the pump is to provide sufficient pressure to overcome the operating pressure of the system to move fluid at a required flow rate. The operating pressure of the system is a function of the flow through the system and the arrangement of the system in terms of the pipe length, fittings, pipe size, the change in liquid elevation, pressure on the liquid surface, etc. To achieve a required flow through a pumping system, we need to calculate what the operating pressure of the system will be t
