b. COD
COD values are always greater than BOD values, but COD
measurements can be made in a few hours while BOD measurements take five days

Q

It refers to the vertical distance from the surface of water (including drawdown) to centerline of the pump impeller.
a. Total dynamic head b. Discharge head
c. Suction head d. None of the above

A

c. suction head

17
Q

It refers to the vertical distance from the centerline of the impeller to point of discharge.
a. Total dynamic head
b. Discharge head
c. Suction head
d. None of the above

A

b. discharge head

18
Q

The sum of the suction head, discharge head, hydraulic head losses and the velocity head.
a. Total dynamic head
b. Discharge head
c. Suction head
d. None of the above

A

a. total dynamic head

19
Q

The lowering of water surface below the static level during
pumping.
a. Total dynamic head
b. Discharge head
c. Suction head
d. None of the above

A

d. –drawdown

20
Q

Refers to the water level before pumping begins.
a. Drawdown
b. Static level
c. Hydraulic loss
d. None of the above

A

b. static level

21
Q

Refers to the loss due to pipe wall friction, elbow design, joints, gate valves, sudden reduction or enlargement of pipe size. This is expressed in its equivalent height or head of water loss.
a. Hydraulic loss
b. Friction loss
c. Discharge loss
d. None of the above

A

a. hydraulic loss

22
Q

Refers to the rate of flow or the volume of water pumped per unit time such as gallons per minute; cubic feet per second; cubic meters per minute; liters per second; etc.
a. Discharge
b. Velocity
c. Suction
d. None of the above

A

a. discharge

23
Q

In pump terminologies, NPSH means
a. Net positive suction head
b. Net possible suction head
c. Negative/positve suction head
d. None of the above

A

a. net positive suction head

The net positive suction head (NPSH) gives the absolute lowest pressure the water must have when flowing into the pump chamber, or (more easily) the actual height of water over the impeller. If the water pressure is lower than the NPSH the pump will cavitate.
