🔍 Key Concepts

• Friction losses in piping systems and how they affect suction head for pumps • How valves, fittings, bends, and internal obstructions change flow resistance • The relationship between flow rate (pumping rate) and friction in a pipe

💭 Think About

• Think about which items in the choices are physical obstructions or changes in direction that increase turbulence and resistance in the flow. • Consider how changing the pumping rate (speed of flow) affects friction losses: does faster flow or slower flow create more friction per foot of pipe? • Ask yourself: which choice would tend to reduce velocity and turbulence in the line rather than increase it?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options are fittings or components that disturb smooth flow inside the pipe. • Recall that higher flow velocity generally means higher friction loss in a given pipe size and length. • Confirm which option would most likely lower friction losses instead of increasing them, and therefore help maintain suction head rather than cause loss of it.
