Q

The distillate pump for a 10000 GPD evaporator, should be rated at a minimum of __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Convert gallons per day (GPD) to gallons per minute (GPM) • Use the basic rate formula: Rate = Quantity ÷ Time • Consider a margin above 10000 GPD so the pump can keep up with production

💭 Think About

• How many minutes are in one day, and how does that help you convert GPD to GPM? • Once you find the exact GPM for 10000 GPD, which option is the closest reasonable pump size that would comfortably handle that output? • Do any of the answer choices look unrealistically high for a distillate pump sized to a 10000 GPD evaporator?

✅ Before You Answer

• Carefully convert 24 hours into minutes before dividing • Be sure you are dividing gallons per day by minutes per day to get GPM • After calculating, compare your result to the choices and pick a value that is at or slightly above your computed minimum GPM
