A pump has the following characteristics: 34 ft at zero flow, 28 ft at 500 gpm, 25 ft at 1500 gpm, and 18 ft at 2500 gpm. The wet well operates at a relatively constant elevation of 1020 ft. The discharge flows through a 6-in. line for 540 ft to a splitter box at elevation 1035. Use C = 100 and Eq. 4-8 to calculate the system head curve. Plot the pump curve and identify the operating point.
