🔍 Key Concepts

• Bunkering system layout – how tanks are connected along a common filling line • Conservation of flow – total flow from the pump vs. how that flow divides between multiple open tanks • Effect of closing one branch on the flow through the remaining open branches

💭 Think About

• Think about the pump: if it keeps running at the same output, what happens to the total volume per minute that must now go somewhere when one tank inlet is shut? • Imagine three tanks on a manifold all filling equally. If you suddenly close one tank valve but keep pump pressure and RPM the same, how does the same total flow redistribute? • Is there any reason the flow to the remaining tanks would completely stop or stay exactly the same when you reduce the number of open paths?

✅ Before You Answer

• Assume the pump discharge rate and pressure remain constant when the valve to one tank is shut • Consider that the total line flow now has fewer outlets – does that make the flow per remaining outlet larger, smaller, or unchanged? • Rule out any option that would require the pump itself to change speed or be secured, since the question only says you close off one tank valve.
