Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The total head (or lift) for a pump is the total difference between the suction and discharge levels, considering losses due to friction. This includes:
- Suction lift,
- Discharge lift,
- Frictional head loss.
Thus, the total head includes frictional head loss, making (D) the correct answer.
- Suction lift,
- Discharge lift,
- Frictional head loss.
Thus, the total head includes frictional head loss, making (D) the correct answer.
